You know you’re a gardener when…

28 Sep

You pluck that delicious chilli out of your thai curry and subtly smuggle it into your handbag, wrapped in a napkin.

And it germinates!

    This is too funny, well done! I am struggling to get my chillies and eggplants out of the ground at the moment. Hasn’t been warm enough I guess? ( That is except for today!)

      Yes, the chillies have been taking their time for me too. They are finally all up now, although I needed to resow the okra because I planted it out too early.

      I hope all yours germinate soon.

    Very very entertaining and something I simply must do and the earliest opportunity!

      Well I’d been looking for a plant of a long mild Thai chilli for a while and this one had loads of flavour. Let’s just hope it grows true to type 🙂

    Lol, who (other than a gardener) would have thought it possible!

    That’s how I got my vietnamese mint. Apparently works well for coriander as well

      You plucked out some fresh stuff from your pho? That’s impressive!

        … when you buy random food stuff from the shop in the hopes of sticking it in a pot to grow.
