As part of the update I’ve taken on some new Social Media channels, and dropped one. You can no longer find me on Twitter, or X, or whatever it is these days. It’s not that I overtly disagree with Elon Musks “Free speech for everyone” policy, or anything like that – What I do disagree […]
OK Then. It’s been a while, welcome back – To you, and me. You may, or may not be able to tell but we’ve had a refurb here – After looking the way it looked for 10 years I’ve finally made some changes to the site. All for the best, I hope…
It’s been a while. I know it has. It isn’t without reason but I know I’ve been quiet. The main reason I’ve been so quiet is that for the past six months or so I’ve been looking to buy a new house, which I’ve been finding surprisingly difficult. It’s pretty much dominated most of my […]
“Bottom Feeding your Plants” – Sounds kind of odd, right? Well, I always think it does at least, it’s also known as “Bottom Watering” and “Butt chugging”, which both sound equally as odd but I have less trouble with “feeding”. So, what is it? Well.

And here we are again. Another year, another grow. Another chance to ride the roller coaster of emotions that trying to grow chillies in the North West of England’s less than ideal climate brings.

And, so, once again. Yet again. I find myself in the postion of pretty much wondering why I bother. My growing attempts with little pieces of plastic. They never seem to go well. And this year is already shaping up to the same as every other. Yes, yes – Thanks to Storm Emma, my Polytunnel proved […]
Yeah yeah, I’ve made that joke before. I likely will again. What else am I going to do? Well, 2018 is now officially upon us, and as usual on the first day of the year, I shall sow seeds. Now, to address the Elephant in the room, it has come to my attention that a […]
The 2017 growing season is coming to an end. Some might say it’s already ended. Some, like me are desperately hoping for a last minute wave of sun.
So the fruits of my plants have started to appear, the trouble is, I don’t know what most of them are, thanks to my accident earlier in the year. And yes, I know I’m beginning to sound like a broken record with that…
