Matron grows vegetables and fruit in a Hampshire garden. I've been growing veggies since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Some traditional varieties and old favourites as well as new ideas. I share my garden with my allotment assistant Daisy the Labrador. On Twitter as @MatronsVeggies
Second batch of Bishop's Kiss chillis are fully dry now. I have threaded them on to a piece of strong thread. Now hanging up in the living room.
Completely home grown, environmentally friendly Christmas decorations!

I was born 20 yards from our allotment. My parents used to 'dig for victory' and never got out of the habit. I grew up on an allotment, so growing veggies is a way of life. I am also qualified as a dog behaviourist and I have set up my own business, www.blackdogdna.com

An amazing crop. Impressed - and inspired to try same some time!!
Hi Matron, I was just thinking what good Christmas decorations they would make and then I read the last few lines so for sure I agree with you.
The dried chillis look really decorative. I sliced and froze my chillis in summer. My plants finished about the end of Aug/early Sept.
Beautiful!
How wonderful - they look like Hawaiian lei necklaces! Amazing how they've kept their colour - and much more decorative than my strings of red onions!
Your Bishop's Kiss chillis have made excellent ristras! Like that they're now hanging in your living room...as beautiful (and delicious) Christmas decorations!
They look great!
Ooh, am envious of your beautiful decor...
They look really pretty :-) Love 'n' hugs, Mel xx
Wish I'd seen this earlier! I grew chillies for the first time this year, but froze them as wasn't sure what else to do .. yours look amazing!
