Photo article from the Welsh Hovel: The first chillies are strung up to dry and to decorate

As I mentioned the other day, we are still working our way through dried chillies from 2024 but we have had another decent harvest this year and, in what feels, like the start of Autumn, I threaded the first two chains on cotton this afternoon.

They now hang in the kitchen and over the coming weeks green will turn yellow and then red making a cracking Halloween decoration as they dry for storing in a large jar before Christmas.
