green lurchers 16,867 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Selection of bad ass chillies ? Took a handful into the local curry house give them to the boss and he cooked me a few dishes with my home grown chillies , yes it was hot but also it was the best Indian we have ever tasted , the difference between real home grown chillies and shop bought and chillie powders was massive Edited September 4, 2017 by green lurchers 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terryd 8,698 Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Well neck deep in green beans. Freezer full, fridge full, neighbors full. Rumor has it runner bean soup is nice so will try that. Leaving the big ones now to dry and we will try them as dried beans. Bean getting half a black bag at time. They even caused a domestic last week when i got home from work and they hadn't been frozen so I put my foot down. It didn't take me long to do them the big kale plant and cuttings are doing well found some golden beets today. Been looking at them under the netting and thinking them chards plants are doing well then I noticed the beets today so a bit bigger than prefered and the compost engine working well 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
