Organic chilies harvest

Sorry to anyone out there for not posting for ages, I will try to do better from now on. Brief but regular :)

Cili padi (bird's eye chili) are a favourite of most Malaysians, but not that easy to grow I find. They need a well drained soil and tend to do better in pots. Most of our previous attempts failed miserably but this time - aided by loving care from WW and perhaps our vermicompost - it's looking good :)

This was on May 10th

You can see the flower in the foreground, and how the chili still has the remains of the flower on it as it grows

Here you can see it going red - these chilies are hot, and quite sweet

Here are various stages of growth

and a 'field of chilies' :)
