warmth in winter

I was delighted last week to find lots of bright red, ripe chillis hiding in the foliage of the three 'Etna' plants that Simon had planted in a cool spot late in the season. Who would have guessed that chillis could hold on till December, especially with the recent appalling weather?

But I'm not taking any risks with frost now, so I picked a big bouquet of chillis for Simon and put it on the windowsill so that we can all admire the fruits of his faith in nature before eating them.

Very pretty, I love those little chili plants.

How very festive they look. That's fantastic that they did so well, and they look beautiful.

It's so amazing that they are still good so far into the cold season. We just pulled the last habenero, poblano and thai chilies off our plants, too.

V. impressed with Simon's green thumb.

Oh, how lovely. Isn't simple just the best? Much better than a dozen red roses.

Nature is amazing, isn't it? We've had a spell of winter with snow and frost already and still my honeysuckle has just produced new flowers!
