      @endo I think i read somewhere about the color/soil ph relationship but my main goal was to perk them up (they started 4-5 years ago as a flower in a small pot from my grandmothers memorial service)

      The bold purple color was a bonus from the acidity in the coffee grounds i think

                      Just picked and ate my first habanero of the year. Small but packed a kick and the flavour was superb. Probably the best tasting chilli I typically grow.

                          Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel.

                                    Joshua Tree’s and other more tender stuff back in the greenhouse until April. Cold and wet North West England weather sucks.

                                            Very strong winds over the last days are bringing down most of this year’s yet unripe mango fruit. Guaranteeing local scarcity come November-December when fully ripe.
