Chilli Vodka,
I wonder what that's like if it's chilli is two years in the bottle and ice cold out the freezer .

Could this thread be the start of a chilli vodka liqueur as well ?

I bet a nip of that would warm gran & granddad up that much they'd have to send back their winter fuel payment .

Sorta reminds me of pink vodka... instead of gin and bitters use vodka and peri-peri sauce....

... and stock up with soft toilet paper.

We need a frost! Damn indoor chilli plants have been hit by greenfly

I have tried a weak soapy water spray so we will see if they recover?

Every plant in my house has had greenfly, the worse infestation I've ever seen. In the end I spread with some fly spray. Wasn't the healthiest for the plants or my lungs but so much satisfaction from seeing the buggers flee like crazy!

My chilli plant had greenfly aswell (never had a chilli plant before) will it recover?

chillies are pretty resilient. I don't bother keeping mine over winter or taking cuttings - too much like hard work and heating costs and wife hates houseplants.
Greenfly can usually be solved just with oil/eco washing liquid solution sprayed frequently (as in once to twice daily if really bad). My issue this year was whitefly - which really is a nightmare to shift.
