First Drops of Rain

After 5 weeks, we've had our first drops of rain! What a long summer. I'm glad I'm not on an allotment, as it's enough to remember to water the patio pots every night at 7pm...

Many of the smaller chillies have been potted up into larger pots.

Here are JOE'S LONG. I've about 6 pots of this and should have a heavy crop on each. Mark's Veg Plot has suggested a little Who can grow the longest Chilli contest, as he thinks his WHIPPET'S TAIL chilli will be longer. I dare say he will be proved correct. His look good! I might win on girth...


The BULGARIAN CARROT is growing well. There are 12 fruits on this plant, hopefully I'll see a Yellowing pod soon.


It won't be long before I can serve up a plate of pan-fried PADRON peppers. These are the Russian Roulette chillies you find in Lidl (or other supermarkets). I prefer to let them go red, as most then will have some significant heat. This plant is quite bushy.


One of my unknown TOMATOES is massive! I can't work out the name at all... It's soft, and is probably ready for picking too.

Putting up the Polytunnel

I've had the polytunnel I bought off Amazon, stood in the hall for several weeks, but finally put it up today. Instructions didn't...
