Chilli is not so much food as a state of mind
MyChilliGarden is a community of home chilli growers. Here we share what actually works: growing from seed, overwintering, late-season harvests, drying, flakes, powders, preserving and recipes, all from first-hand experience in a Central European garden. Share your chilli garden story and apply for a member garden page, have a look at the Chilli Directory, a small pilot we are still testing, or say hello on the Contact page.
The site began as my own garden diary. I’m Simon. I grow chillies in Slovenia, and I have been growing them since around 2013. In 2019 I started writing this diary, and it has grown into a place where other home growers can share theirs too. You can follow the seasons in my garden, or read the longer story of how it started.
Cooking stays in the family too: my son has shared recipes such as Honey Chilli Ribs and Pan-Seared Steak with Chilli Powder.
MyChilliGarden is also becoming a small family business.
