Haven't seen 3 corner leeks

At the plot, made it to fix the trimmer, had a two hour go and two tanks of fuel, not finished yet.

Beans have survived a cold night, which is good. When putting them in the ground used what appears to be a very very large nail, off a wooden ship, who knows, to make a foot deep hole, to get through the weed suppressor, cardboard, then delicately insert the root up to the top. This way presumably the roots will stay in the wet, as it were.

Phew, so far. Am sitting in the shed having a cigarette.

Beans just planted, from the greenhouse.

At the plot. It's raining in a variety of densities, no drizzle.
Stuff is growing despite the weather. Indoors, strawbs have gone mad and grow vertically .... well, so far.

Also various beans which will go outdoors later, still too cold for them.

Weirdly broadbeans are already flowering tho they're barely 15cm high.
I've bought a bag of them in a food shop and they originate from Iran, of all places.

Grapes are starting green shoots, lil carrots tops, leeks and garlic also. Spuds.

Nice.

Can somebody please help me identify these chillies? I bought the plant at hammerbarn last spring, and the ticket said orange habanero. Clearly that's not this! In the habanero family, sure, but not the basic orange common one. That yellow one is fully ripe, I let a couple of others stay on the bush longer and they rotted.

For very pale green and one pale yellow chili. Short, broad peppers with pointy ends. Likely habanero of some sort. Bamboo chopping board underneath.

Guess what! I harvested another 400g of gorgeous habanero chillies today. I put them in the oven at 60° for 10 hours to dry them out. I'd already pickled the first batch (also 400g) in oil, and they were so good!

I'd absolutely love to hear any great ideas or recipes on how to make a large quantity of chillies keepable.

After a boring and really pointless meeting at the social, called 'mythbusters ' about old folks not being employable etc etc etc.. did a quick visit to the plot to check it out.

All is growing   very well indoors,  no so well outdoors as expected due to weather performance which is typical of Wales   as you know.

Colleague donated a pond-log, this being a log (!) with some sort of herbs which grow in the pond, so placed it there.

Watered stuff and as I was about to return to base it started raining. Of course.

Any chilli experts know what kind of chillis these are, and when I will know they're ripe? They haven't been green & gone purple as they've grown and have always been purple. They came as Moruga Scorpion Chocolate seeds but are most definitely not!

Think they might be Peruvian purple, but those chillis are shorter & more oval than mine.

I just made this dipping sauce (and the fritters to go with it) - and it is truly awesome. If you don't like it that hot, remove the pith & seeds.

40 g tamarind block

6 garlic cloves, peeled & crushed
2 tsp superfine sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 finger chilies, sliced into rings
Makes: about 75 ml

Recipe for fritters and dip:

The dipping sauce, seen in closeup from above. It looks boring: it's thin and brown with crushed lumps of garlic floating on top, half submerged. It tastes wonderful though.
Closeup from above of the Burmese tofu fritters. They have been deep-fried once and later I will deep-fry a good handful of them for another two minutes. This is the first time I'm making them and I want to test them before I will serve them to friends tomorrow. I have more 'batter' for that already.
