My Cayenne chillies have ripened nicely & ready for picking. Now in the process of drying out to be used for making curries, chillies & chilli bread 😋

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.

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. 😅

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!
