Yours are beautiful & I will enjoy from afar via your pics!

Death Spirals are a British hybrid that got their name from the ridges that run from the top to the bottom of the pepper. They also change colors 3 times as they mature, adding a bit of color to our garden. They are classified as a Superhot but they aren't my hottest, just my coolest looking IMHO.

My house has an upper terrace and a lower terrace. The upper terrace is all about relaxation, comfort

And, of course, the view

The lower terrace, OTOH, is devoted to peppers. I grow abou 30-40 at a time and change varieties year to year to supplement my staples like Tabascos, Death Spirals, Primo Pot 7, etc. This is an early season photo when many are still small. I have a big store of pots to transplant as the grow so I conserve water during the season. We are in the equivalent of an American hardiness zone 10B so once they get above seedling size I never have to bring them back in. One of those small black pots in the front is now producing the peppers I pictured in my last post.

Wow, that is impressive. Nice courtyard area to keep all your containers together and nice that you have the ground tiled to keep out weeds.
