Another day, another harvest
The garden keeps on giving. Here we go, a box of potatoes and a handful of allotment snacks – jalapenos, tomatoes and raspberries. #growyourown
All the colours of a Bolivian Rainbow
Here are the results of Bolivian Rainbow chilli flowers spotted back in early August. They really do make a colourful and bright addition to your garden – or your home, as they can also be grown indoors and will keep producing its colourful fruits continuously, all year round.

Today’s little harvest
Today’s little harvest: a couple of tomatoes and jalapenos, a few pods of Bolivian rainbow and lots of cherry bombs. Still waiting for ripening of super hots while hoping for sunny Oct 😉
