GREEN THINGS

I'VE been compelled to return by my plants. "Wow. This girl's crazy. She's living on the edge!' you say. Perhaps not, but for those of you who followed the progress of my chilli plants when I lived in London, you'll love this:

CHILI PLANT #2: Whilst not the original, my second chilli plant seems to be swallowing steroids and
                           dipping itself in green paint whilst I'm at work...

Look how tall you are, O plant of chilliness

Probably the greenest plant I'll ever grow

                      There may not be any actual chilis growing at the moment, but by the looks of things they'll be

                      sumo sized and will probably blow my head off. If this works i'll be making my own spicy Jam
                      by next year. Probably. Maybe.

TOMATO PLANT #1: Now this i've never tried before, but since i've had an urge to grow my own veggies without
                                actually having a garden, I opted for tomatoes. If you're planning on doing the same,

                                there's something you should probably know:

Cheeky orange blob in the background

                               They are incredibly lanky. They grow at the speed of light but don't have the strength to
                               hold their weight, so they start flopping over themselves and growing facing down.
                               That is of course unless you find some twigs in the street or happen to live near a shop

                               specialising in bamboo sticks. I took the first option and watched as my partner tied each

                               floppy branch to some twigs we found in the street [because I was doing something more

                               important which probably involved pizza and/or wedges]. So far I have eight tomatoes

                               growing, ONE of which is on the way to becoming the correct colour. Watch this space...

Plump.

love
