Is that a pool i see? Id love a pool in mine.

How do you stop the burning of a chilli in your mouth? I always thought water but apperently water makes it worse.

yes that is our pool. To stop the burning - don't eat them! I don't eat them but hubby does - the hotter the better for him.

Looking good, but how do you keep on top of watering pots - I have to water twice a day in the summer and most of my pot stuff is not in exposed places?

That looks idyllic bussinspain - what a great view, and a pool too.....trying to suppress my envy!

I usually watering in the evenings, so that the plants can soak up all the water. The chilli pots are in the shelter of a small wall that gives about 6 inches of shadow in the mid afternoon sun!

Well, it's wet and cold here today. I can feel the warmth of the sun just looking at your lovely photo! Apparently, summer's coming here on Wednesday. So take heart, Nicos!
