This was a surprise!

I've been pondering over something for the last few days!

What is it? And where did it come from?

So I have been searching the internet and browsing through old orders I had placed with Premier Seeds Direct.

http://www.premierseedsdirect.com/

And I can't find anything that looks similar to this plant, the fruit is quite distinctive and like nothing we have growing at the moment.

Then I remembered this............

Three types of seeds came with this kit, Jalepeno's, Cayenne's and some that were called "Hot Scotch".

I've just read the instruction book and it called them "Scotch Bonnets".

So there you go, problem solved.

I've had this kit since Christmas 2015, but as I spent most of 2016 in hospital they never got planted.

And then this year we had a greenhouse catastrophe! The pop up greenhouse we started with took flight across the garden and all the seeds got mixed up.

There are quite a few recipes in the book, from chilli sauces to chilli oils. All of which I'll post here when we do them.

So please subscribe to my Blog to keep up to date.

As we speak Tina is up to something in the kitchen, so I'll just sneak in and see what she is up to and if there is anything to report in future Blogs.

These were her last efforts! 4kg of tomatoes turned into a nice fiery tomato sauce, she is keeping the recipe a secret! From me atleast.

Wildlife photography in a wheelchair

Its that time of year again when there is very little in the way of gardening jobs that I can do. Some things I can, like take care of the greenhouse and keep the plants in there watered and fed. But Tina is doing a pretty good job of keeping on top of the rest. This has given me more time to focus on photography again and at this time of year when we are feeding the birds its great to get outside and get some shots. We have a few different visitors come into our garden, the main ones being Sparrows. Also we have a lot of returning Great Tits and Blue Tits a Robin and some Blackbirds and also some Finches. I always get confused with Finches and what sort they are so I'll just call them Finches. Photography I find is a great way to get you outdoors and connected with nature. What better way to spend an hour or two watching and listening to the wildlife in the garden. Even domestic wildlife in our case as when our dogs start they scare off the birds so I just photograph them...
