Capsicums

My capsicums have never done very well before. I grow chili plants quite well in pots or garden beds and get great chilies. But finally... Some big capsicums! I have about 8 there so I think I'll let some go red and will pick some soon. Yum.

And finally the seeds are growing...

It has taken a full cage over the seed bed, but my seeds are growing beautifully now they are totally protected from the chickens. With a few rows of carrots, onions, turnips and beets sown a few weeks apart we should have some good root veg in the next few months. I have another bed with a similar structure over it, so we will even have successive crops!

Fingers crossed the chickens don't learn how to lift the top mesh and scratch these up too...

The bottom potato

This potato looks a like a bottom. The creamy flesh of the Nicola potato looks almost skin like, which is a little disturbing... The question is, what should we do with Nicola's bottom?

Tonight's pasta sauce

Eggplant, zucchini, tomato, garlic, onion, basil, parsley, chorizo, bacon and haloumi. Six from ten out of the garden, not bad. Delicious actually!
