The chillies have arrived :)
It seems insane but, after just 2 weeks in the ground, I already have chillies on my plants.
I suppose this is a good example of just how perfect the growing conditions have been these past couple of weeks. And possibly the fact that I’ve kept the water and soil conditioner on these plants for all of this time as well.
Now to play the waiting game while the chillies ripen enough. I’ll be drying some for use throughout the year. And also making a couple of vindaloos. :)

Amanda's been doing chilli con carne for my no-carb diet. I eat it using celery as a spoon. So good.
Lol. No hot dog for you on the 3rd March then? And no carbs... that sounds tough.

My husband is doing keto diet for the last 2-3 months now.
He likes making celery salad (with cucumber, onion, garlic, vinegar, salt, chopped bird eye chilies, water and sweetener) 😁
I could see that working. @minismallholding has been generous with the garlic, so we're already well on the way :)
Shaun would say "leave out the celery!" He eats most things, but that he can't stand. 😆

My brother in law is the same. Claims he can smell it as soon as he opens our fridge.
Does celery even have a smell?
Yes, a lovely one! 😆
Shaun can smell it at 100 metres I think.

Superb 👍👍👍👍
What kind of chilies are these? Bird eye?
One is Habanero and the other is Jalapeño. :)

Yuum!!
Our kind of spiciness 👍
We just made chili sauce 2 days ago, of habanero with garlic, onion, salt, and vinegar, processed in an electric blender 👍👍👍👍
Better than those Frank's Red or Tabasco etc
Yum!
Hmm homemade chilli sauce sounds amazing. Might have to give it a shot.

Some chillies just grow fast too I think XD My partner put one in the aquaponics and it immediately expanded and chillies magically appeared like in a timelapse or a stupid cartoon.
Okay it actually took a week or so but still, we had many, many more chillies than we could possibly use and it was a bit of a struggle giving them away too XD
Enjoy your chillies and vindaloos and everything else :D
I’m more than ok with getting too many chillies. It’s a rare day that I don’t have a spicy meal. :)

Greetings dear @mazzle
These fruits look like those that grow here in Venezuela, but those here are not spicy. Then we say "Ají Dulce" (sweet chili).
But we do have some that are anatomically different from those and we call them "Chireros" o "Chirel". These are Hot spicy! Wow yes they are.
How are the weather conditions in your region? I see that you were very good at your fruits. I congratulate you.

I know the Aji Dulce. We call that one an ornamental chilli. It isn’t spicy at all.
I’ve planted a habanero and a jalapeño. Both of which are spicy.
The weather is hot and dry over here. It means I have to water the chilli plants almost daily. But you can see the results here. They produce some decent volumes of chilli.

Apparently the climate is very similar to that of my region. Therefore you must water those plants daily. They are very delicate in terms of irrigation, they weaken very easily.
I have friends with small plantations of Aji Dulce. Approx 50 square meters. From there you can get several hundred kilos.
Hugs friend !.
Wow! They must sell them surely? After reading that I want to plant more chilli... I think I’ll get some more plants this weekend. :)

Oh yes, he sells them in the vegetable markets.
This provides you with an extra inflow of money. He is a very humble man and a field worker.
Those plants are quite fruitful.
Does chillies normally grow that fast?
Posted using Partiko Android
Apparently. :P
I had no idea though since this is only the second time I’ve grown them.

Oh OK. Hope you enjoy them.

That is a great story of garden success! Beautiful plants. What kind of chilies are they? Padrones? I think I see a tomato back there too. I am upping my chili pepper game in the garden this year.. We didn't get enough last year! You are inspiring me :)
