2013 Growing Season

Delightful photos Hsuh. I would not have thought you could grow Peppers from the seeds inside a Market bought one. I love the big long , very dark red ones from Lidls. I will save and dry some seeds from the next lot I buy,

Got a lot of Chard.



Thats just a bit of it

Chopped up the midribs, carefully removing the caterpillars hiding there, blanched in boiling water for 2 mins. Open freezing overnight then packing into bags tomorrow.

 

Hiya Zigs.

What will you use it for? Never tried it myself...

 

Wotcha Freddy

Put it in soups, stews, stir fries etc. Willow loves it, and apparently its one of the 5 a day thats very good for teenagers, got something in it they need. Can't remember what though

 

Other thing thats coming on.

 

Is it a bit like Courgette, where flavour needs to be imparted? Or does it have a distinct flavour of it's own?

 

No, quite distinctive, bit sweet, gets stuck in your teeth.

 

Ahh, a bit like Rhubarb then

 

With more determination, yes.

 

Btw, mean looking Chilli Variety?

 

Willy.

@Penny in Ontario sent me the seeds, 2 or 3 year old plant now

 

It doesn't look like Willy ?

 

Vodka?

Need "Peter Peppers" for that I think?

 

Penny said they were Peter Peppers, must have crossed with something else that fancied Peter Peppers

 

Well i suppose you never get two the same.....
