Drying chili, growing herbs and chilling.

Another Sunday.

Hope is has been a good one for you. For me it hasn’t been too bad. Spent the morning doing a few chores, finished the next edition of my newsletter and as I type a chicken curry is on the stove.

I enjoy spending time in the garden. I’ve grown chili quite a bit in the past. A few seasons back my yield from four plants added up to +/- 2 pounds. Doesn’t sound like a lot but it was – for the whole year I didn’t have to buy chili at all. I even shared a few with my friends and former co-workers.

Next season I plan to grow some again. Chilis tend to make the soil acidic and I’ve left the soil where they used to grow empty for the past year or so. I have a few varieties I want to try once Spring rolls [no pun] around – serrano peppers, thai chili, Habaneros and some cayenne peppers.

I plan to take out the seeds and dry the chili for some chili flakes. I’ve eaten all of these peppers before and I’m looking forward to some freshly grown chilis. In small quantities obviously.

Other plants in my garden at the moment as thyme and rosemary plus some flatleaf parsely.

The thyme was bought at a local nursery and the rosemary I grew from a cutting.

The next edition of my newsletter is about a Sunday morning a few weeks ago when we had some nice fog on the morning. If you’re curious to read about it you can subscribe to my newsletter on the right side of the page.

The photo project I am working on is coming along nicely. I went through some old photos today and found shots of the apartment complex from a few years ago. I’ll post some of these during the week on Notes.

Thanks for reading and enjoy your Sunday : )
