Chilli milestone
The 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 :-(
