Today I went to M&S to food shop. And life here is totally back to normal - there were hardly any parking spaces! I bought a week's food and then wrote my menu list for the week as I was doing under the lockdown - I reckon it's a good habit.

I said I would show you what I bought in B&Q yesterday - here they are -

What beautiful chilli plants! I don't think I've ever seen that sort before. The plant really is very pretty and I'm very curious as to what the peppers will actually look like! I could google but I'll wait for whatever happens and see it here.
:)

Funny but I have also gotten into the habit of making a shopping list again. It is a good thing.

S2C tells me the peppers will also be black! We will wait and see - hopefully.

I really find writing the menu list useful, otherwise I realise there is meat in the fridge that should have been eaten 3 or 4 days ago, or salad greens that are limp and past their prime. It is a good habit to have acquired from the lockdown period.

I told you no such thing! Purple when unripe, bright red when ripe.

[curiouswombat]

You said black when unripe, red when ripe...

Pretty.

[curiouswombat]

Aren't they!

beautiful plants!
they would be great just as a decorative plant used with something silvery grey - artemisia - which has taken over a corner of my garden
and Dusty Miller which has claimed a large pot for itself

[curiouswombat]

They really are so pretty - they would look so nice in a border, and definitely good beside an artemisia.

there were already a couple of interested bees,

That's great!
Even if you don't get chilies, you will have very pretty plants in your garden

[curiouswombat]

They do look very pretty, much more decorative, at present, than the runner beans behind them, although those should look pretty when they flower, too :)

Black chillies? Fascinating. I wonder what colour the fruit is. The plant look very ornamental.

[curiouswombat]

Apparently the chillies are also black - we will wait and see :)

[speakr2customrs]

No they're not! I told you, they're purple when unripe and bright red when ripe!
