  1. On the menu today: a vegetarian wheat tortilla stuffed with eggplant, tomato, yellow onion, scallion, garlic, three-cornered leek, Swiss chard, and chili pepper…
    Enjoy your meal!

  2. Here's a couple of samples of this year's superhot #chilli varieties from the #allotment greenhouse, the big one is a Naga Morich which is our core "superhot" - it is a classic, hard to beat for balance of heat/flavour/aroma.

    The evil little pointy bastard is a 7 Pot Primo and... wow... this is our first year successfully growing some (we tried and failed last year) and I thought the Naga has a "presence" when I cut it, but the 7PP hit me in the face with its aroma by comparison. There's a lot going on in this little chilli.

    I am conservative in my superhot growing, basically I have a slot for the Naga as our core sauce-maker, and I have a slot for one "other" - this year it is the 7 Pot, next year maybe something different. I am tempted to make it 2x "other" superhots next year. (For context: things like scotch bonnets and habaneros do not count as superhots as nowhere near the million scoville mark, they're merely the "hot" chillies.)

  3. Almost forgot to do a Friday (OK, Saturday early hours) #HotFridge check.

    I'm a bit confused as I thought I did a Thursday one, but I don't see a record of it here... I'll do a re-org of the little pots tomorrow and if there's a diff between what's on the grow light shelf and what's documented here I'll fill that in... (as this thread has become my primary record of chilli germination lol).

    Just now moved from #HotFridge to #GrowShelf we have:

    1x Naga Morich (yay!) - X2 (1 pot)
    1x BB Mama - X6 (1 pot)
    2x Bishop's Crown - X10 (1 pot)
    1x Rocoto Marlene - Y1 (1 pot)
    1x KangStarr Sweet QueenHi - Y9 (1 pot)
    2x KanStarr Lingria - Y10 (1 pot)
    3x Chilli Chump Piri Piri - Y12 (2 post)

  4. Next day, EVEN M04R CH1ll13Z!!

    Also super-chuffed that my 7 Pot Primos have germinated so soon! These can be a bastard to germinate. Turns out my "abuse" of them leaving on a wet tissue for over a week after the chamomile soak hasn't done any harm. They hadn't sprouted yet when I planted them but they were clearly close. No doubt the 28C of the #HotFridge did the rest, and *boom*... under 2 days later we have 3 or 4 up and out of the soil.

    Today's additions to the #GrowShelf:

    3x 7 Pot Primo (X1)
    3x Kashmiri Mirch (Y3)
    3x Candy Cane Chocolate Cherry (Y4)
    4x Biquinho Red (Y6)
    3x Thunder Mountain Longhorn (Y7)
    2x KangStarr StarrLing (Y8)
    1x Beaver Dam (Y11)
    4x Chilli Chump Piri Piri (Y12)

  5. First #chillies have graduated from the #HotFridge to the #GrowShelf ... speedy!

    I take them out when at least one seedling in a pot has both cotyledons well open. The goal is for one strong seedling per pot. Though I may consider pricking out one of the two to another pot if another pot fails or I want more of that plant.

    Here we have:

    2x Aji Mango (X8) <-edit
    3x Sugar Rush Stripey (X13)
    4x Trinidad Perfume (X4)
    3x Tangerine Tiger (X12)
    3x Chilli Chump Jalapeño (X14)
    3x Scotch Bonnet (X5)
    3x Madre Veija (X11)

  6. 104 seeds, 52 little pots, 28 varieties - that's the #chillies in the #HotFridge...

    Some I popped in on Thursday evening have popped up already - these were somewhat pre-sprouted on wet paper.

    Next up will be the eggplant and capsicum seeds.

    I'll wait until second half of Feb for the tomatoes and similar.

  7. And this is round-2 of the #chillies into their chamomile bath. The first round are actually currently sat under a cover on damp paper towel as I've not had time to get them into pots yet, generally this is fine, you can actually germinate them this way and plant only those that germinate - I've seen some folks do it this way.

    I'll make the time tomorrow hopefully, I'm up against some strong alternative priorities right now.

    Anyway, round-2 is in for their chamomile soak. ANOTHER 14 varieties... I've gone mad... 28 varieties this year? Bonkers. REALLY need to get that greenhouse finished at the #allotment!

    01 Rocoto Marlene
    02 Rocoto Costa Rica
    03 Kashmiri Mirch
    04 Candy Cane Choc Cherry
    05 Yaki Blue
    06 Biquinho Red
    07 Thunder Mountain Longhorn
    08 KS StarrLing
    09 KS Sweet QueenHi
    10 KS Lingria
    11 Beaver Dam
    12 CC Piri Piri
    13 Biquinho Yellow
    14 Padrons

  8. Postal excitement!

    I wasn't going to be buying any more chilli seeds this year, but I cannot find any rocoto seeds and its a variety I really want to grow again. So I fired an order into the Chilli Chump Seeds shop: chillichumpseeds.com/

    Of course one does not just buy ONE packet of seeds lol... so two rocoto varieties, some Kashmiri Mirch, and a couple of interesting purple/multi-shade varieties in both the mild and quite-hot departments.

    Plus the bonus/freebie Khang Starr variety: KS StarrLing

  9. Deceptive little bastards. At first I thought they were duds, then after a half minute or so, the heat builds.

  10. photo of a #Habanero #chili #pepper #chilipepper from today. 1 euro coin for size comparison (I'm out of measuring bananas atm). I'm a bit scared of where this is going :)

  11. Today I put holes into the bottom of a soda can, filled it with small rocks and gardening soil and planted two small "Bolivian Rainbow" chilies in it, that I had sown a few weeks ago.

    As chance would have it, I just yesterday cleaned an empty #sriracha bottle which will make the perfectly fitting watering can for this project 😃

    This is my entry to the #pepperinacan challenge here on mastodon.

  12. #Inktober Day 12: #Spicy (official prompt spells it #Spicey)

    I've not tried Scotch Bonnet peppers before but I definitely want to eventually, even if it melts my esophagus lol.

  13. Made Goulash for these cold days. Extra spicy :ablobcatbongo:

    Goulash with beef and a little bacon. A standard recipe with caraway and majoram, onion, bell pepper, carrot, potato, fresh and canned tomato and of course chilis.
    I used for 1 kg 2.2lb meat fresh:
    2x 7-pot Barrackpore
    3 Scotch brain yellow
    1 tsp Cayenne powder and 2 tsp sweetpepper for some smokey aroma.
    All together about 3 liters. (~0.8 US gal, ~0,65 UK gal)
