Returned car and went for a ramble through a garden shop and then to Glenferrie Rd in the heat earlier. The saliva in my mouth almost solidified I was so dehydrated. I did buy this very silly looking chilli plant - even though I really don't need any more chillis on my balcony and it was rather spenny - I just want to see the fruit for myself. I had no idea there were white chillis. Let alone nipple shaped ones.
I've never harvested chilli seed for reuse before but I think I might give it a go with this one if it turns out nicely.
White chillies. Very interesting, never heard of them before.
I wonder how spicy they are?
Itâs a lot hotter outside than I expected. Didnât realise it hit 30.
These are supposedly a 3/10 and can be eaten raw or pickled as a snack according to the label. I usually dont grow mild chillis but this one is too weird not to try. Apparently it has a delicious taste too. We shall see in a month or two.
It was forecast to be 31 today I think. Thankfully not excessively humid and tomorrow will bring more rain (if BOM is to be trusted that is).
Ooh white chillos!
keen to hear how they go.
I was hoping you'd see that and be like yeah nah white chillos par for the course. But they are unusual! In Melbourne at least. Looking online it seems there are many established white cultivars of ghost pepper, habaneros, etc. And Capsicum baccatum which I only learned about today and wish I did two months ago so I could have a go at growing aji limon. Next time.
