I have growing interest in horticulture. Amongst my successes this year was picking up a small potted plant for 50p in a garden centre and growing it on to the fruit bearing plant you see here.

It’s an impressive sight, a grafted chilli pepper. the only problem is that the chilli’s are volcanically hot and (in my opinion), quite impossible to do anything with cooking or eating wise.

I suppose it might be fun to make a few biscuits for halloween with them and watch the reaction as people take a first bite!… (only joking and I am certainly not endorsing pranks that would cause distress or even illness).
