Something has been eating my Fuegos. Massive chunks of the tips.

I was given a couple of bottles of chilli sauce by Jane Thompson of Ashridge Preserves.

We’re that impressed we are going to commision Jane to make some Berkhamsted Chilli Growing Society chilli sauce. Ashridge Preserves are sold at local events, if you see any on sale I recommend buuying a few bottles.

Some recent chilli harvesting.

Some ones been eating my Ring of Fire.

I’ve washed and put away all the plant pots that have been piled around my garden. Leaving them lying around is really slack as they provide a breeding ground for slugs and snails. The chickens ate well though.

I’ve become a fan of using wine boxes as planters. The don’t blow over in the wind, unlike plant pots.

Next season I’ll be using lots of copper tape to keep the slugs away.

I took this Serano, grown from Wahaca seeds, out of the green house because all the leaves looked ill. It’s a shame as it has lots of fruit on it.

I found this monster of a catapillar on one of its leaves.

Looking pretty.

I bought the Prairie Fire in the house for a change.

My Naga is looking good.

I put my smoker together yesterday.

For the first test run I used Hickory.

Loaded with fresh chilli’s, dried chilli’s and a bulb of garlic with some cider for flavour.

Smokin…………..
