igenlodeThe first Demon Red chilli flower of the year is now finally fully open (and the plant currently stands six inches high).
The greener and larger of the two dark-leaf chillies is four inches high and has its first embryonic buds on, which puts it at exactly the same stage as the Demon Red a fortnight ago. I am still stripping caterpillars from the pak choi, which really ought to be picked and eaten -- the pak choi, that is, not the caterpillars :-p
It has been blessedly warm but not hot for these past few weeks, but apparently the European heatwave is scheduled to start attacking us at the start of August :-(
