I’ve been away sunning myself since May 21st

June 1st, 2009 · 2009 Chillis, Chilli Pictures, Cooking with Chilli's, Growing Chillis

Just before I left I sampled my first home grown chilli of 2009. A small Lonely Heart chilli.lonely-heart01

It was quite nice but not very hot, it had a slight kick.
