Hot chillies, cape gooseberry and a stray violet which I accidentally picked while tidying up the sprawling cape gooseberry bush. The ripe fruits I found on the ground, and the unripe, green gooseberries in their green lanterns were on a branch I accidentally cut. They will not go to waste as I can use them in a fresh sambal. They are quite tart.
This variety of very hot chilli ripens in winter. They have to be protected from the frost or I would end up with burnt chillies fit only for the compost heap.
The Cape gooseberries do not ripen at the same time. The ripe ones drop onto the ground and I have to remember to look for them.
