Scotch bonnet (Caribbean red pepper)

Bought this local scotch bonnet for the seeds. Hot season is here and they say this cultivar is a heat resistant chili, so why not I try growing it.

Species: Capsicum chinense
Cultivar: Scotch Bonnet
Heat: Very hot
Scoville scale: 100,000–400,000 SHU
Hot, eh?

Pepper and basil

Growing basil next to peppers boosts their flavor and help to repel some pests.

Good companion in the garden. Good color combination too!
