🌶️ Sliced up some garden-fresh Jalapeño Peppers for lunch, gouging out the seeds so I could stuff with 🧀 and bake them 😋

Obviously I have since rubbed my face and I am regularly reminded of this tasty lunch as it is still feeling quite zingy 😅

🍆 I’ve had a proper bountiful harvest of Aubergine this year - still plenty left, I can’t eat them fast enough 🤢

I decided to save some seeds from an overripe fruit, and popped a single seed into a small pot as a viability test.

Boom! A sprout.

👨‍🌾 #Gardening #VegetableGrowing #GrowYourOwn 🌱

Three items placed on an outdoor picnic bench in the early morning sun. In the lower-left there is a white packet of Aubergine v.Bonica seeds originally from Sea Spring Seeds. Next to this white envelope is a clear plastic baggie filled with lots of home-saved seeds from this same variety. And above the two seed packets is a small red pot filled with compost, in which the cotyledons of a single seed have sprouted after being left outside for a couple of weeks. This tells me that my saved seeds are probably viable, as I wasn’t sure if I’d need to leave them longer. An experiment that I’ll continue next year.

🌱 Planting out Turnip seedlings in a spare spot of ground now that I’ve cleared away the 🎃 plants.

One packet of seeds is older than the other.

Entirely expected, I really just sowed that second tray (at the back, w/ more cells) as a test case.

👨‍🌾 #Gardening #VegetableGrowing #GrowYourOwn 🌱

Two module trays filled with Turnip seedlings placed on an outdoor picnic bench. At the front is a 28-cell tray filled with lots of seedlings of v.Tokyo Cross, while behind is a 40-cell tray that has very sparse germination, v.Snowball. I was not expecting much from the latter tray, hence I sowed a lot more seeds across many more cells to try and increase my chances of success.

📋 In May the garden ToDo list is enormous, with many hours of work required to get it ready and planted for the season ahead.

Now that we’re in September the teardown process has commenced.

🎃 are ripped out, 🍅 are starting to go, 🌻 end today.

✂️ Misplaced my garden snips. Walked my recent route around the garden several times. Looked in odd places.

Knew they’d turn up eventually.

Sat down to read a book and only then spotted them *at eye level*. I’d left them ready for next job 🤦‍♂️

🫙 Made a couple of jars of a sort of Chilli/Tomato ketchup/relish thing for 🥪

Grabbed a whole bunch of assorted 🌶️ and Spring 🧅 from the garden, along with a punnet of 🍅 that needed using up. Cooked with some seeds/spices before blending up.

🌶️ Now that it’s cooled down and 🌧️ one of my “Rocoto Manzano” plants has suddenly had a flush of new flowers erupting from the very top of the plant.

It’s probably way too late for these to develop into ripe fruit, which is a shame 😐

🫙 Despite slicing half-open these large “Fatali Yellow” pods, they took a few days to dry out until properly crispy. A quick whiz in the blender and I have some lovely atomic yellow powder to jar for the year ahead 🤗

Endless supply of spice!

🫑 The Sweet Peppers are starting to come off the production line outside at a rate I cannot keep up with 🤢 The larger bell peppers are starting to run ripe red too.

I’ll need to chop, bag and freeze these, if I can find space in a chest freezer.

Four clear plastic tubs arranged in a grid on an outdoor picnic bench. There are two larger square tubs and two rectangular plastic punnets, each filled with Sweet Peppers of various sizes. The two larger tubs have red, yellow and orange lunchbox sized fruit, while the smaller punnets have medium-sized pods and full-sized bell peppers in the top-right corner.

🍲 I’ve made quite a few recipes from Anna Jones’ “Easy Wins” already this year - some pictured below, others I couldn’t fit in - with plenty more still to do.

Plus, attempted to grow as much as I can in my own garden.

🌧️ What a wonderful sight to open the curtains to… actual, persistent rainfall overnight. And continuing through the morning as a billy bonus!

As a grower, I am doing a happy dance right now 🕺

🎃 Not the greatest Squash season that I’ve had 🫤 There’s been very little rain these past few months, and I couldn’t keep their patch properly watered.

Three shorter life (the orange ones), plus three Winter Squash (the grey ones) that’ll last.

🌶️ As these are quite large pods I wasn’t able to freeze all that many in the tub I’m filling up in the freezer. Too many Chilli frozen already! 😊

So now I’m drying three layers of pods in the dehydrator to make some Chilli spice powder.

🌶️ It’s starting to look like a whole bunch of pods are ripening, so I’ll be planning 🌶️ Chilli Care Packages 📦 quite soon - usually a few in September + more in October.

Loads of new varieties to try this year plus more of my favourites.

🌶️ Found a whole bunch of ripe Fatali Yellow pods to be harvested when I thought to go looking just now 🤗

This truly is a prolific variety. I only have the one plant after giving away my spare earlier in the year, but I knew I’d get plenty ☺️

🫑 As I open up the garden every morning - opening doors/panels to clear humidity/moisture, turning plants, etc - I inevitably spot some ripe fruits.

Today’s haul! 🤗

Lunchbox sized Sweet Peppers, the full-sized Peppers are coming, and Padrons ⬇️
