Chili is not so much food as a state of mind
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. Which also gave us an excellent idea […]
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 😉
So, 2020 was (still is) tough in many aspects, one of them being chilli growing. In our parts, there was a slow start with cold and rainy weather most of the time during May and June. As a result, many pepper plants from our garden have lots of un-ripened peppers. So what to do with […]
Our chillies still haven’t ripened enough but tomatoes, on the other hand, are “in the zone” and keep on giving 😉 Here we go, attaching daily batches of tomatoes from this week, straight outta garden. Also, it is quite a privilege of being able to go into your garden and cherry-pick most of the ingredients […]
Three shades of Carolina Reapers – super hot, red and gnarly, with a bumpy texture and small pointed devilish tail.
Most of our chillies haven’t ripened enough and are still left on the branches to soak up all the late summer sun, but have a look at the tomato. Our last harvest from a couple of days ago. Huge and tasty 😉
Now in late August when mornings are becoming foggy and prolonged leaf wetness is ideal for downy mildew to appear and ruin late summer tomato harvest. It happened to us last year :-/ So we have decided to build a tomato house fending off the morning wetness and extending the growing season. 😉
The Italian Cherry Bomb pepper, much like the standard Cherry Bomb pepper, is a small, round chili pepper known for its mild heat and sweet, juicy flavor. It is commonly used in Italian cuisine, particularly for pickling, stuffing, or adding to sauces and salads. The Italian Cherry Bomb pepper belongs to the species Capsicum annuum, […]
Bolivian Rainbow chilli flower spotted. It is a stunningly beautiful plant with all the colours of a rainbow, all on one plant. But there is more,with 30-50k Scoville heat units, that’s four to twelve times hotter than a jalapeño, so these good looking ornamentals also pack a surprising punch 😉
Here we go. A decent harvest during a very tricky season of 2020. Although chillies are still warming up, there are lots of other goodies becoming available to cherry-pick from the garden: onion, beans, tomato, parsley, radish, salad, cabbage, cauliflower, zucchini/courgette 👍
