well done jon and the chillie plants look healthy mate

Cheers mate

 

The missus grew a couple of these last year - the plants gave loads of chillies.

.... Their citrus flavour goes nice with salads or cooked.

 

...... I just wish they'd hurry up now

How long do they take mate, from seed to harvest?

I think these ones take a couple of months so, they'll hopefully be ready end of July/start of August.

That long mate, do they grow big?

Do you have them inside or outside?

We start them off indoors, then outside, in of those plastic zip-up greenhouse things, then they're outside for the last 4-6 weeks.

 

I've heard that they can grow up to 2mtrs tall - the biggest we had last year was around 4ft tall.

 

You get a lot of chillies from them - they just seem to keep popping them out every time you pick some

Might give something a go soon, id love to grow fruit an veg but i dont know were to start mate lol.

It's a shame you're so far away mate - I'd give you a couple of these ones

 

I'm not green fingered at all.

...... like I said, I start these indoors on the widow sill, then move them outside and keep an eye on what the weather's doing.

They seem to be fairly hardy plants

Try runner beans

 

Start them off in a jar with some damp cotton wool, then put them in the ground and let them grow up a couple of canes - Couldn't be easier mate.

 

...... And they taste bloody lovely home grown

 

Good luck with whatever you choose

I've started using quality coal on my BBQ and it's made a helluva difference easy to light very hot and consistent and the company I got it from have all different flavours and smells, I bought some orange wood and they describe it as your food being marinaded in marmalade I must admit it's amazed me how good it was to the run of the mill chemical infused shit on sale, bit expensive but you pay for what you get they even have natural BBQ lighters my lad picked it up and he got a tour of the kilns he said there passion was on the obsessive. Here's a link.

I've decided I want a grill, a smoker and a pizza oven all in the same outdoor space, I'll also need a prep area and somewhere to keep the beers cold, then there's seating to think about? It's not gonna be a small project when you think about it! lol I'll just make it up as I go along and see what happens, that's what I normally do

 

We had both rig welders taken off duties for days to build something a bit like this out of Liner, that is the metal pipe that is put in to the ground in the top 200ft of rock for drilling an oil well, it's very wide probably 36".

 

I wish I'd taken pictures when I was over there but never bothered because it was work and I didn't particularly want to be there lol

 

We would often have a massive BBQ and we could fit 20 chickens in it at once, on top of the coals in the main chamber would be boxes with water and wood chips which had been soaked in whiskey or other stuff.
