    Not been picking any yet. Aji habanero might have the first ripe pods. Or jalapeño. Plants have been really good at self pruning this year. A hands off approach works well. I just give them compost tea and add manure or compost to the surface.

    Well, rainy season sure is great for vegetal growth. Humid and wet. Me adding compost and guano to the soil surface soon gets driven in to the roots. My yellow habanero that was looking haggered got a harsh pruning and bounced back to this. Lemon cucumbers look terrible. The plant is full...

    haha. you can't tell the accent. we are cut from the same cloth, but i think we grew up 250 odd miles apart. i should disclaim 'cut from the same cloth' i am saying we are from the same country. He is not my dad (as far as i know) haha

    Shishito peppers all the rage

    they are nice flavoured chillies. Incredibly bitter if not used properly. deep fried or charred is best

    Not yet. But I love hiyashi chuka in summer. Cold ramen noodles with soup and salad toppings (typically cucumber, ham, Crab and egg). It's my favourite food in summer. Wife always gives me lots of cucumbers and tomato. Looks like this

    yep, you gets its. so now right now its rainy season. and people love the sight of hydrangea. which i personally think are ugly flowers cause they look fake. Reason why people love them is cause they look beautiful compared to the grey skies. i think they are ugly flowers, but set and setting...

    She's always burrowing. Trying to find small dark places to curl up in (hence I don't let her run free, cause no idea where she will get. She has a hide in her cage which is like a dark fluffy igloo. I recently put a metal plate in the bottom of it to wick away her heat.

    shes an African Pygmy. her body will tell her to hibernate, but in Africa it doesnt get cold enough to need to. As a result they can't build up the fat reserves to hibernate. so if it gets cold and instinct says hibernate, its almost certainly fatal. so i have a temperature controller and heat...
