Can’t believe how long the allotment is going this year, still getting outdoor tomatoes, tomatillos and chillies from it three times a week as well as beans and cucumbers.

Our boy loves having his feet rubbed until he falls asleep - never known a cat even tolerate their paws being touched 🤣

First chocolate reaper of the season harvested from an overwintered plant - and it’s a big guy!! Looking forward to the burn with equal measure of excitement and trepidation 🤣🔥🔥

She’s the most loving cat I’ve ever known….and still has a consistent grumpy face 🤣🥰

Offer her Churu lickables and she just turns into a sloppy mess 🤣

Love popping out and seeing what my pepper plants have ready for me every morning now. Today I had Jalapeño, Habanada, poblanos, White Fatalii, Aji Mango, Candy Cane and some amazing (though surprisingly hot!) bonnets. Can’t wait for tomorrow 🤣

Absolutely loving the White Fatalii which are just starting to ripen - lots of them, look stunning; taste amazing and a good belt of heat too. I’ve got some beautiful actual scotch bonnets and had some lovely poblano off this week but think Fatali might be my new favourite.

Went for Shadow but ended up with him and his sister…..and I’m so glad we did! 2.5 years with them now and they’re still in love 🥰

Been waiting ages but went to feed my plants earlier and found the first ripe Habanada and White Fatali….about time too! 🤣

Not ready yet but happy to see my Bonnets are actual bonnets and growing really prolifically too. Closely followed by Habanero and White Fatali, they’re all pumping out the numbers - just need them to ripen now 🤞🔥

At last, my polytunnel has started to produce some beautiful pods. Can’t wait for the hots and superhots to start to ripen now 🔥

Tried a new sweet pepper for the kids to snack on this year, Chocolate Cherry Candy Cane. Got to say they have amazing looking variegated plants, beautiful looking peppers and really go down well on flavour front too. If you’re after a new sweet pepper than would highly recommend.

Back after a little vacation and all he wanted was a nap, poor guy wasn’t happy with being told he had to get up 😂

Hi all - with heatwaves hitting both sides of the Atlantic, thought it might be an idea if people share hints and tips to keep our furry friends cool so no one ends up with a heat stressed pet. They don’t always show it but cats can suffer with heat stress the same as any animal and need help to drink and keep their temperature under control.

I’ll go first, we put ice cubes in with their water - guaranteed to get them paddling and queuing to have a drink! 🤣

So happy to see these bad boys starting to flower and fruit now. Already been tempted and tried one before it was fully ripe and the flavour was awesome with a decent hit of heat too, can’t wait until they are white and ready to go en mass. Anyone else had any experience with these? What’s the final flavour profile?

He’ll jump if there’s a loud bang but apparently it’s perfectly acceptable to switch the electric piano and metronome on and just sit there, composing 😂

Worked last year….praying it will this year, the protective ring of pumpkins to keep my corn safe 🤞🤞

Usually I lift and cure my onions when the leaves start to wilt but it feels a little early this year. They look OK I guess but I usually lift them in July. Looking at the forecast though, would I be better doing them now so they can get a warm, dry week to start curing? The ones with the flopped foliage I am considering, not the other variety which is still standing.

He does make work a lot more enjoyable 🥰
