Don't think these plants got the memo about what month it is and what they should be doing! Surely it's too early for flowers?! #chillies #willbespicy #growingmyown #ccsk

@grow_mad @NTCalkeAbbey 😍That greenhouse

GrowMad on the road... I love nothing more than losing myself in a walled garden, this time, Calke Abbey. Virtually untouched since its heyday. @NTCalkeAbbey #allotment #GYO #gardening #kitchengarden #organic

The last of the chillies have been sown. I had planned to stagger their sowing a little bit more but decided to just get it over and done with. So the waiting begins again.......... #seedsio #growingmyown #chillies

It's finally that time of year again where I can obsess over seedlings! Here's a new thing I'm trying this year to keep track of how things are going seedsio.com Here's a weeks progress and it's looking much better! #chillies #seedsio #growingmyown

@ChilliesHolt That's great since I've got to isolate 😊 🥰

@KellyWoodroffe Of course, Kelly! x 😉

Eight garlic chilli chicken curries done today & keema naan's to finish off later! :-)

@grow_mad If I remember I'll give this a go at the end of next season! Thanks 😊

@KellyWoodroffe Calabrese 'Ironman' Cabbage 'Spring Hero/Mozart' Cauliflower 'Boris/Barcelona' all work well. Sow calabrese mid-Sept, cabbage and cauliflower mid-Oct. Sow into larger module sizes than normal and keep under cold glass during winter🙂

Sowing certain brassica types during Sept/Oct saves so much time in the spring and results in earlier harvests next summer. Calabrese 'Ironman' & Cauliflower 'Barcelona' all ready for planting late Feb under fleece... #allotment #GYO #kitchengarden #gardening #brassicas #organic

@NDchillies @michaelastracha @ChrisGPackham @bbc_autumnwatch @MeganMcCubbin @BBCSpringwatch Yeah that is the conclusion I've come to as well. Never seen one this colour before, thought it was a different species!

Anyone know what sort of spider this is? I've never seen one in my garden before. Pretty thing. Marigold for scale! @michaelastracha @ChrisGPackham @bbc_autumnwatch @MeganMcCubbin @BBCSpringwatch

@ChilliesHolt Fungal infections can takes MONTHS to clear up. You can get stuff from a pharmacy to put on your nails. A podiatrist isn't going to be able to cure this. Your GP can prescribe stronger stuff

Anyone ever suffered from fungal toenails and cured it yourself, at home. A Podiatrist sounds expensive! 🙂 #FungalToeNails #Podiatry

@engcountrylife @TheFloofLady Very nice selection! My season hasn't been great this year so I've not made any sauces. Just freezing or drying what I've grown to cook with

@KellyWoodroffe @TheFloofLady Definitely hotter than the Scotch Bonnets we grow 🔥🌶️. We made a fermented hot sauce with some. It has real authority!

New Blog Post! Anyone that knows me knows that I LOVE very hot chilli sauce. How do I make it? Jump over to our blog to find out 👍 RTs welcome 😊 englishcountrylife.com/2021/10/19/i-l… #gyo #growyourown #gardening #CHILLI

@engcountrylife @TheFloofLady In my experience most Habanero are of a similar heat level to Scotch Bonnets but I've not grown the Antilles version yet. I do have seeds for it though for next year so I'm looking forward to finding out!

@KellyWoodroffe @TheFloofLady The Antilles (Carribbean Hot) is 350,000 Scoville - say twice as hot as a Scotch Bonnet - which is quite hot enough for us in regular cooking. The Lemon Aji are pleasantly citrus, Chilhuacle Negro okay and chocolatey and the Ohnivec huge and our staple cooking chilli

@TheFloofLady @engcountrylife Any particular favourites? Are you gonna grow anything hotter next year?

@engcountrylife @KellyWoodroffe They were all amazing

Great offer from @AmazonUK and @Deliveroo. Just a shame I can't use it. Maybe Deliveroo will eventually get round to delivering in more rural areas

@ChilliDiaries But what if I or someone else wishes to make one of your recipes, you're going to have to loan out the special tea spoon?!

@KellyWoodroffe This teaspoon. Not that teaspoon, not your teaspoon, not the teaspoon from that other posh fancy set. Just this one. Don't you have a special teaspoon? 🤔

If you ever follow one of my recipes on the Web Site and I say use one teaspoon of something... I mean this spoon. Only this spoon 🤷‍♂️ thechillidiaries.co.uk/blog/category/…
