A "quick" trip to the garden centre for some grass seed resulted in a few other purchases. I'm sure I'll follow up with another post about the things we bought to actually go in the garden, but this is one of the things that has ended up inside the house – chilli medusa.
From what I've learnt from the internet and the label it apparently is both ornamental and for cooking (surely if it can be used for cooking then it's no longer ornamental by definition is it?) I'm pretty sure Mr C and I will try cooking with it at some point soon – we both like chillies and it would be wrong not to try. Although it does mean that it may take me a bit longer to actually get round to trying to grow chillies from the seeds I bought a couple of weeks ago…
Regardless of how it tastes though, it certainly adds a bit of interest to the windowsill where all my herbs are growing.
Very pretty – and it really does look like Medusa…
I too have one of these and bought it because it looked so pretty. But I have a problem with it, like all he chillies I try to grow, and that is the leaves look as though they are about to die and fall off. I snipped off the chillies as they had finished and new flowers are appearing. But the lower leaves are now turning yellow. It’s not dry at all and not over damp either. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
