I really can’t resist. Now that the chilies are next to my bed, I just have to say good night to them: “Good night, darlings.”

I do wonder if plants dream....

New sleeproom mates 🌱
Today I welcomed three new chili plants (Sibirian house pepper) into my home. Since the living room is already taken over by lemon drops, dragon breath, and UFO chilies, these little guys earned a spot in my bedroom.
Falling asleep and waking up surrounded by these beautiful plants… not a bad vibe at all.

Harvest day... Making a garlic hot sauce. Good crop this year!

Awww, I just can’t stop watching them. This little chili plant — a Lemon Drop — is only a few days old, and she’s already looking so pretty. 🌱

Isn’t she gorgeous?!
This Buschpfeffer chili plant is absolutely loving the sunshine, and watching her grow makes me so happy. 🌱

This is going to grow into one hell of a Scotch Bonnet. 🌶️🔥 #allotment #gardening #growyourown #chilli

The warm weather convinced the chillies to grow but this year it’s sloooow 🌱... and only 17 out of 30 seeds have sprouted so far.
Still playing plant detective - Why did only half make it?
Too cold during the day (less heating while I’m out)?
Or did I accidentally use seeds from a hybrid plant?
What are you thinking? 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Speaking of chilli, I had to rescue a bunch of small ripe habaneros and aji umba(?) from the birds, so I removed the seed bundles and placentas to reduce the heat and sliced them up for last night's chicken pilaf. Was very tasty.

Figbird update: they've been snipping off the top half to two-thirds of ripe African birds eye chillies, and today I find they've started on the jalapeños, the buggers.

I've just collected a bunch of undersized green jalapeños for tonight's pilaf of leftover roast lamb. The buggers won't get those ones now. I mainly collect green birds eyes for my lunch soups, so mostly safe there.

It seems to be opportunistic. They're actually hanging around in the cherry guava tree, waiting for its fruit to ripen. The chillies are in front, and have handy wooden stakes to hang onto while they clip leaves and fruit within easy access. Have not touched the habanero or cayenne fruit yet.

[recalling primary school lesson about traditional bird snares, wondering what figbird tastes like]
