One of my favourite peppers, although I have never sen one with bark like that - mine are much smoother on the trunk. What a pleasure they are, other than when you get scratched to high heaven

We need to get that list sorted Mr O’B. I suggest a shopping trip at the earliest opportunity! Great read.

It's a long old list (well, lists!) and it keeps changing! But always up for a shopping trip. And cake. When are we going? 🌱🍰

We call those lodged prickles 'spell's, as in 'there's a spell in my finger'. I wonder where that came from and how many other names there are?
