I love growing chillies, they truly are beautiful plants to grow. To me they're just as pretty as growing flowers. 
This year I had a nice selection, left to right - Korean Gochugaru (for making kimchi in the future), Bulgarian carrot, Lemon drop, Chinese Chaotian, Cayenne purple, Alberto's Locoto.
The Alberto's Locoto is another level, I don't think I've come across a chilli that is so hot! I could feel it making my fingers tingle as I prepared it! It is a beautiful plant though and I kept one to over winter in our bedroom.
I dried all the chillies for storage.
The Korean ones I plant to powder up and make my own kimchi, The rest might be powdered or added whole to curries and the like, I'm slowly building the children's tolerance to the heat levels.
Always a good use of space in the greenhouse, they always do better than the sweet peppers for me, that's one area I really need to work on in my growing.
How has everyone else done with chillies this year?
