A lovely drying day


As I can't get washing done and it is a lovely drying day, I have turned to beans and chillis.

We have a good stock of chillies in the greenhouse which are turning a wonderful dark purple. I am assured that the darker they get the hotter they get. These are some that I picked and left in the greenhouse. They are now ready for stringing and use throughout the next few months.



There is also a bean feast at the moment. I leave them on the plants until they dry and it seems to retain the colour better. These are all beans grown from seed saved last year and it is interesting to see the change in colour from last year as there has obviously been a degree of cross polination.
