Nice. None of my chilis, capsicum, tomatoes etc. are actually ripening - plenty of green fruit, but that's it. I planted a few borlotti beans this year and noticed the first pod on one of the plants, they are nice and decorative.
Hopefully this week's sun will tip them over into getting nice and ripe. The tomatoes only started ripening about last week.
The chillis have been ripening through Dec and Jan, they're bonkers.
Hopefully, if they don't ripen at some point I will have to make a lot of green tomato pickles! I have tons of green tomatoes, and lots of green chillis too, but nothing is ripening โน๏ธ
If you're making green tomato pickles I'll gladly take some off your hands ;)
And I'll take the green chillis - so good for salsas and in Indian cooking.
I want the Jalapenos to ripen so I can make chipotle.
