Today’s #dinner was simple, some #soup I made from both shop-bought and home-grown #vegetables, with #potatoes, #carrots, including our own #GarlicChives and #SpringOnions. I added some #GreekYoghurt, a little chopped #Chillies and some #ChineseVinegar to add a bit of tang and it tastes great, particularly with some of my wife’s home-made #Sourdough #FlatBread.

Long bank holiday weekend, so managed to get planting on Day 4. Repotting from 1" soil blocks some early sowings. Chillis are Carolina Reaper, I was sent a pack by a relative and managed 3/4 germination. Tomatoes are Black Cherry, and Sweet Million. #gardening #chillies #tomatoes

That's the solenacea (tomato, chilli, capsicum, eggplant, tomatillo, and cape gooseberry) germination run pretty much complete now.
Far too many seedlings. 😅
Some of the little pots have 2 or 3 in them, at a quick count there are 204 seedlings here.
We can fit in maybe 30 tomatoes max, and similar for chillies, plus a dozen each of capsicums and eggplants. And that's really quite a bit optimistic.

Ooops, it has somehow been a whole week since I last posted about my chillies! Germination of the chillies in the previous post is now well underway, with nine pots moved to the #GrowShelf from the #HotFridge.
The varieties germinated so far are:
- 2x Biquinho Red
- 2x Biquinho Yellow
- 1x CC Jalapeño
- 2x KhangStarr StarrLing
- 2x Trepaderia Werner
Note that I count "per pot" rather than per-seed, so some of these I have more of and an option to grow-on extras, for example there are actually 3x seedlings of each of the 2x above.
-
About half my chillies have germinated already - some time in the last 36 hours anyway. Chamomile soaked from 25th Jan, planted in pairs in mini pots on 28th Jan and popped into the #HotFridge, germinated circa 3rd/4th Feb.
If there is a race to be won here I guess the prize goes to the Chilli Chump "Kimchi Pepper" seeds — all 4 seeds strongly germinated!
Currently our no-shows are Chilli Chump Naga Morich, and also both Rocoto varieties (Marlene and Costa Rica, also both Chilli Chump, from last year.)
On the superhot germination front we have have a single Naga Morich from Fatalii and a single 7 Pot Brainstrain Yellow from Chilli Chump. That's pretty speedy for superhots really.

#HotFridge LIVES! Had to replace a dodgy power board that was making disconcerting sizzling noises...
Fridge is set to high-20s for chilli germination.
Chilli seeds are in dirt after ~48h in chamomile.
That's the first seeds of 2026 in: 7Pot Brainstrain Yellow, Aji Habanero, Aji Mango, CC Piri Piri, Chupetinho White, Goronong, Habenero Hot Lemon, Kashmiri Mirch, Kimchi Pepper, Naga Morich from Chilli Chump, Naga Morich from Fatalii, Rawit, Rocoto Costa Rica, Rocoto Marlene.
Two seeds per mini-pot, four of each variety total, fiftysix seeds in. (There are a few more to come.)
-
Lunch break used to ponder chilli seeds.
I need to get some into dirt soonish.
I don't rush into this too much as I don't really think there's that big a difference between chillies germinated on 1st Jan vs 1st Feb with my climate and facilities. (May differ if you have ideal indoor growing conditions and time and organisation for a very responsive potting-on riegeme!)
The photo shows the seed pool I will pull from — almost all from Chilli Chump and Fatalii, plus Padrons from Nikki's. (I have other packets from some other suppliers but they're all "retired".)
The ones left of centre are previous years, the ones to the right are new supply for this year (except the far-right, wich are older).
Trying to limit to under 20 varieties. It is hard!
(Upside down bottom-centre did not grow true to type across multiple plants, but they were a highly prolific med-low heat red chilli that made great flakes, so not counted out yet, lots to pick from tho!)

Allotment postcard 47 — end-December 2025 — solstice and fire 🌅🔥
Winter solstice root veg harvest, more garlic planting, harvesting chillies in December (?!), clearing the back of the new plot, burning old pallets, toasting marshmallows & roasting chestnuts over the coals.

By the way, this is what a two-year-old chilli plant looks like when it's on strike... 🌶️🌶️🌶️
It’s already a little miracle that this ufo chilli plant made it to TWO years old! But I have a feeling it might be pushing its luck for a third…
Is anyone else out there with a chilli plant that's over two years old? Have you got any tips? 🌱@gardening

Schaut mal, unsere Tütchen sind richtig schick geworden und passen perfekt zum Design des Kongresses.
Insgesamt gibt es 52 Tütchen mit jeweils 10 bis 20 Lemon-Drop-Samen für den Saatguttausch.

I got lazy and this year it is just going to be all my bets placed on a single ferment.... I'm calling it "all the red ones"... well, almost all, kept a few back for other purposes - and also in went some yellow Trinidad Perfume. I don't really do rules. I am chaos. (You should see the state of my kitchen, or pigsty as some may consider it. I just don't know how people do things and also have tidy and clean spaces, there isn't enough time to even just do the things as it is.)
Anyway... the chillies in the mash are, in approx order of volume: thunder mountain long horn, unknown red chilli, naga morich, trinidad perfume, cc piri piri... probably some others snooked in too.
Slightly under 1kg of mash, 2.5% salt by weight.
Now it just needs to sit for a few weeks/months/until-i-can-be-arsed-with-it.

Crazy chilli harvest today! 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Collected a box full of lemon drop peppers from the nine plants in our community greenhouse.Next mission: choose the best way to preserve this spicy treasure…
#LemonDrop #ChilliGrowing #chilli #chili #chillies #chilipeppers #chilisaison #Plantjournal

Roughly hand crushed dried red seedless chilli flakes... a selection including piri piri, thunder mountain longhorn, kashmiri mirch, bishops crown, and a bunch of an unknown variety (bought as Scotch bonnet, definite wasn't!) The result is so much richer and tastier than any store bought flakes I have ever tried... though pretty much a whole dehydrator load of chillies results in just this ~90g of flakes in one small jar.
Now to remember to be careful where I am putting my hands for the next day or so. 😅

Mum's been growing Apache Chillies in the garden. I harvested a handful to take home 🌶️😋

Dragon's breath delivery
Just found an envelope in my mailbox with two fresh Dragon’s Breath, one of the hottest chillies, and a handful of seeds! 🌱💌🌶
I only met the woman who gave them to me a few days ago at our community garden — we bonded over chilli talk, of course.
I honestly like this little chilli bubble.
Feeling spicy and grateful today!#DragonsBreath #chilli #chili #chillies #chilipeppers

#Allotment Postcard #39 is up… this just being some waffle from after the weekend away for PyCon. There is a bit of a #chilli fruit round-up at about 6:09 — though not a comprehensive one.
Slowly catching up!

I think my #chilli #webcam is working!
Watch for the next week or two to see how they grow. Hopefully more than just the one that's out now.

What's the deal with #jalepenos?
I bought some fresh ones from the grocer. I assume they were grown locally because they were pretty hard and crunch - so very fresh.
They were green and not very hot at all.
I cooked with them and they didn't really do much.
Not sure what's the best way to use them.

First (ripe) fruit from my possibly dehybridised chilli plants, along with a clear demonstration of the value of colour vision for birds and primates.

🌶️ Same age, totally different!
One lemon drop chilli in a pot outside —10 chillies, 2 ripe.
One in the greenhouse —bushy with 30 chillies, none ripe yet! Hope they ripen before it gets too cold!Already dreaming of next year's grow, greenhouse might be the way to go! 🌱

Was gifted these Manzano chillies - don’t they look like their namesake apples?
Apparently habanero level spicy, fruity & citrusy - guess we’ll find out!
-
The lemon drop chillies have officially moved into the community greenhouse — and they're thriving! 🌶️
But with the heat in there, the soil dries out super fast. To keep the moisture in, I mulched the ground with organic straw from a nearby community farm. 🌾
Fingers crossed it does the trick! 🤞

🌶🍅 Plantdag in de kas!
Vandaag hebben we 9 chilis (lemon drop) en 20 tomaten in de dorpskas geplant. 🌱
Voor de zekerheid heb ik er eentje van elk thuis gehouden... voor het geval iets misgaat in de kas. 🤞 Maar als alles lukt, kunnen we mss volgend jaar nog veel meer planten!@gardening @homegrownfood @Romilda

🌶️ First harvest of the year!
I picked these tiny habanero chillies from my two-year-old plant. I didn’t give them much attention this season, so they stayed small — but they still pack a punch! 😅
I accidentally snapped a branch (oops!), and after a few days in a glass of water, the chillies turned red while the leaves wilted.#ChilliGrowing #chilli #chili #chillies #chilipeppers #chilisaison #Plantjournal

Wat een werk is er verzet de afgelopen twee weken in de tuin!
We hebben niet stilgezeten:
* Drie nieuwe buitenbakken aangelegd
* Een put geslagen voor een eigen waterpomp
* Een gigantische berg compost stukje bij beetje verdeeld over de kas én de bakken
🌿 En natuurlijk... héél veel geplant!De tuin komt tot leven en binnenkort een plekje kiezen voor m’n chilliplantjes... 🌶️😉

Are they ready to harvest yet? 🤔🍽️#BlackHeartChili #chilli #chili #chillies #chilipeppers #chilisaison #Plantjournal

Decided to deal with the oversupply of habanero chillies this afternoon, so I picked the big ones and made a sambal. One red shallot finely chopped, and finely chopped the chillies after removing seeds and placentas. Stirred in 1.5 teaspoons picking salt, packed tightly into a 500ml jar. Will leave on the bench for a week or so to ferment, then into the fridge. Plenty for winter and spring.
Still heaps of little chillies on that bush, plus aji umba and jalapeños, to have fresh over May and into June.
DW was a big help halving and deseeding the chilies until her throat couldn't stand the fumes from the chillies any more 🔥

Watching my habanero chilis grow is so calming and nourishing — it might just be my favorite way to cope with the outside world.
This little green bubble brings me peace and a whole lot of joy!🌶️

Wow, this is amazing! It's April, and my habanero chili plants are flowering.🌸 I never thought I could overwinter them and have them bloom again, but here they are, proving me wrong. Aren't they gorgeous?! 😍

Another sunny day well spent! 🌞 The past two days have been beautifully warm (18 and 20°C) — absolutely perfect for letting the little ones have some outdoor fun for a few hours! 🌶️🌶️🌶️

@gardening @homegrownfood And for those who think this is late for sowing, you're absolutely right. I had to focus all my attention on my Habaneros and UFO chillies in the first weeks of the year, since I overwintered them successfully.
Now is the perfect time for the new ones, and they will be just fine as they can move to a community greenhouse in a couple of weeks.

Aww, they are just the cutest! I love watching them grow! 🌶️🌶️🌶️
This season I also started with new chilli pepper seeds, and I can't wait to see them develop.
I sowed the seeds two weeks ago, and I'm thrilled to see the first young leaves of the lemon drop and the black heart appearing. The pasilla seeds are a bit quiet for now, but I'm sure they'll sprout soon too!

Chilli Survivors 🌶️
Tried to overwinter my chilli plants this year—kind of a test run. I left one group outside (winters are usually mild here) and brought another group indoors. Sadly, the outdoor ones didn’t make it, but 8 out of 13 indoor plants are thriving with new leaves already! 🌱Lessons learned:
-Keep them indoors.
-A sunny spot is best.
-Pruning is totally fine.
-Check for pests regularly.#chilli #chili #chillies #chilipeppers #chilisaison #Plantjournal

@MarleenChocoladeteen Ah, wat leuk! Ik ga komend weekend ook weer van start.
Dit jaar heb ik trouwens van een kennis ook Lemon Drop zaadjes. Een andere vriend heeft nog Black Heart Chili zaadjes voor me geregeld.
En natuurlijk ga ik mijn eigen Habanero en UFO zaadjes zaaien.Helaas heb ik maar plek voor vier soorten, dus daar moet ik het bij houden. 🌶🌶🌶🌶
Ik wens je veel plezier met je chillies!

I am thrilled to share that I successfully made it and completed my writing :)
In the meantime, a dear friend collected some new open-source seeds for me: black heart chili peppers! I can't wait to sow them.

Guess what! I harvested another 400g of gorgeous habanero chillies today. I put them in the oven at 60° for 10 hours to dry them out. I'd already pickled the first batch (also 400g) in oil, and they were so good!
I'd absolutely love to hear any great ideas or recipes on how to make a large quantity of chillies keepable.

Yes, yes, yes, after 170 days I could harvest the first habaneros.
