    Last Harvest

    Chili Pepper 'Prairie Fire' Harvesting and Rooftop Terrace garden
    Harvested the last of the chilis today – there are quite a few, so I’m trying to figure out what to do with them all. Going to pot up the chili plant into a pot and stick it on the windowsill for the winter.

    First harvest of the year

    Chili Pepper 'Prairie Fire' Harvesting and Rooftop Terrace garden
    The prairie fires have produced prolifically for both years running – now I have my first handful of chilis for this year. Not quite sure how to use them still as they are unbelievably hot, I might have a go at drying them out this year instead of using fresh.

    Chili Pepper 'Prairie Fire' Budding and Rooftop Terrace garden
    After killing off two of his buddies, I was a little worried about my sole surviving Prairie Fire – but it’s looking nice and healthy now with some new leaves. I can just see the first signs of flowers poking out too. Now to actually use some of these chilis this year…

    After the winter

    Chili Pepper 'Prairie Fire' Breaking Dormancy and Rooftop Terrace garden
    To be honest, I really did neglect my little prairie fires during the winter so they got really straggly looking. I ended up with far too many of the painfully hot chilis last summer, so I decided to rip out two of the three plants and leave the middle one (which looked like it survived the winte...

    Chilis Everywhere

    Chili Pepper 'Prairie Fire' and Rooftop Terrace garden
    They weren’t kidding when they wrote that this chili grows prolifically – there are hundreds of the little things now – with more blossoming every day. It’s such a nice little plant (its only a about 10 cm high or so). Even if I don’t get to eating many of the chilis...
