First pods of 2013
Growing under a work surface in the utility is a three plant hydroponic system, these plants haven’t been in there long and already they are showing the first signs of pods. If you look closely enough you can see the first stages of chilli growth out of the flower.
I’m getting these ready for the Birmingham chilli fest later in the year. As for the rest of the plants they are now in the tunnel hardening up, none have died yet and I hope the frosts have passed.
Hope your growing season I going well.
Two new products launched
We are pleased to announce that we have launched two new products this week.
Firstly our Chilli and garlic jam all I can say is wow, the best jam in the world, but I am biased. Amazing flavours good heat, goes great with any cheese cold meats and a bbq glaze.
Secondly we have our Nitro sauce Don’t panic its not crazy hot. This sauce has liquorish undertones. To be used on just about anything!
Both are £4 a pop and available now.
