It’s time for an update on the Wahaca Chilli Growing Competition. Way back in September Wahaca challenged Bibendumites to grow some chillies and then use them to devise a devilish recipe to impress chef Thomasina Miers. It hass been a while since the last update and the cold winter weather and Christmas break have taken their toll on some of the competitors….
Liz forgot to find a Guardian Angel to care for her plant before she went away:
Over in Off Trade, Jo is also lamenting the end of an era…
But it’s not all bad news. Kyle’s plant shows that size does matter after all. Must be all the Argento Malbec he feeds it.
Emma’s survived an amazing week snowed in in Hampshire with no power and -8 degrees C temperatures through both day and night for 5 days! No buds sighted as yet, but it is getting stronger each day and is clearly a fighter. One to watch.
Our final contender comes from Liesbeth who is clearly pretty green fingered. It is tall, it has got big leaves, looks strong and is my current favourite for the coveted “First to Fruit” title.
Think your plant is doing better email a photo to btimes@bibendum-wine.co.uk. More updates to follow as the weather warms up.
