Rocoto and bonnets - yum!! Two of my favourite chillies. With so few chillies, I'd be keen to make them go further and maybe make a jelly. A little salt and lime juice would be needed for me too, as salt and acid tend to help bring out the natural flavour profiles of food including chillies, as...

Thanks PeriPeri. The Hippy Seed Company might be worth a try, they ship internationally and always have fresh nagabon seeds as they use it in a couple of their signature bbq sauces. They do state on their website that it will take 6+ weeks for African orders. And lol, don't get me started on...

Running an old but solid performer excalibur here. I get relegated to the shed when I run it due to fumes. That COSORI is sexy as, any chance it has an exhaust filtration system built in to control fumes?

Thanks! Nagabon is one of my favourites too, they are just awesome for smoked powders and sauces, and that's why they're in the biggest grow bags. ;) I like to cold smoke them with cherry wood before dehydrating or making bbq sauce, they are such a versatile chilli. The others are new to grow...

Hi everyone, My first chilli grow since 2017!! It's been a long time since I have been on here, I had a bad fall which shattered my elbow, snapping bones, tearing ligaments and all that fun stuff, so life went sideways for quite a while. But I'm now able to grow again and in the garden happily...

I admire effort and skills in photographing food, it is why cookbooks sell. You do eat with your eyes, smell and then taste after all. I go by ingredients and then how it looks, and then how I think it will taste. The effort people put in here is just awesome, most of all I hope people had fun...

Awesome growth rates turbo.

Agree, super long season - not complaining though!!   I have mine in a courtyard, we had a -4c a week ago and the plants took a burn to their tips and that was it. still loaded with pods ripening.  With the heavy rain I will pull another couple of kgs before they are done.  

Buy crowns if you can.  I bought 4 crowns and had loads of asparagus from the first year of planting.  Should be able to pick them up at a local garden centre pretty easily.  Mine like to be buried reasonably deep and a good dose of compost each year.  

Never seen so much ooze on a burger, looks delicious Rymerpt

I must confess the bun makes me a little nervous with the colour, but the flavours would get me through the door any night of the week. 

Just renewed mine through the store links at the top of the page rather than the invoice on the email - it gives you a few drop down options to choose from.  

Breakkie wrap   Smoked red bhut jelly BBQ sauce bacon eggs cheese jalapenos caramelised balsamic vinegar onions fried tomatoes     

Me too. So much awesome.  Building a breakkie wrap at the moment, started with the usual smoked ghost chilli jelly, bacon and eggs that I have every weekend.  Now after following another TD, it has these, plus cheese, jalapenos, smokey bbq sauce, cooked tomatoes, balsamic vinegar onions...    

On my 28" monitor it is bigger than my head.  Looks amazeballs to me!!
