Gardening at home and at the allotment in Liverpool, UK.

Still early days but the first potting on of the chillies (🌱🌶️) last night.

Aubergines later and lots more sowings over the weekend. Maybe time for the tomatoes?

I'm not sure where you find the time!

Are you allowed to do scones? Chocolate Orange Scones are delicious. (I've been having cravings)

I have 40 dahlias that need potting up!

I can tell you now that the digital content writer will have gone nuts over this and the policy team will have insisted the legal terminology had to be used.

Exciting, expect these #broadbeans will be up by morning. I'll have to get them under a grow light before moving them out to the greenhouse.

Looking forward to going back down on Saturday hopefully. Been a couple of months since I've been able to do much.

Cool dry days in later winter are some of the best gardening days I think.

The first germination of the year. Sugar Rush Stripey - fresh seed from South Devon Chilli Farm. Hopefully this bodes well as last year's left over seed didn't germinate.

You can sow it most of the year and it overwinters well. Comes into its own at this time of year and you can harvest through to March. You can just pick the lower leaves and let it grow tall or mass sow and harvest it as a microgreen.

I've grown it no problem in Liverpool. Except this year, but that was user error!
