Squash – Turks Turban

Lumpy, bumpy and decidedly funky. Like a spaceship wrapped multicoloured silk, Turks Turban is the Salvador Dali of the cucurbit world.

Does anyone else get mysterious packets of seeds that they don’t remember buying? This is one a kale called Afro which I think might have been a trial seed (as part of an order) from @mrfothergills . It’s not on their seed list this year that I can see which is a shame because it is a really good kale. Much more tender to eat than it looks and it survived a pretty horrible year on the plot this year and thrived! #kale #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentuk #kitchengarden #potager #winter #green #organic #growehatyourat #eatwhatyougrow #eattherainbow

This is my favourite kale in the world #cavolonero . It can be a bit of a white fly attractor as the dimpled leaves make a great place to shelter but a combination of poor weather and plentiful planting of marigolds has kept them fly free this year!

Today’s job was rearranging the poly tunnel and putting in raised beds. All ready for summer.... 🥶 . . . . #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentuk #allotmentlove #winter #winterjobsinthegarden #polytunnel #growing #kitchengarden #potager #growyourownfood #growyourown

Ok I confess I didn’t grow this lot but during the summer months Padron peppers are one of the easiest peppers to grow in the UK and you can start sowing them from about now if you can keep them frost free. Instructions on how to grow and cook in bio link. #peppers #chillies #growyourown #growyourownfood #allotment #allotmentuk #kitchengarden #potager #foodphoto #padron

I sowed the seeds for this years chilli planting on New Year’s Day using a heated propagator and when the seeds start to emerge LED grow lights. My outstanding and prize winning chilli for this year was #havanagold (pictured) which I bought from @mrfothergills . It really is a great chilli, which ranges from a white/green when Imature to orange when fully ripe. It’s medium strength so you can actually appreciate the flavour which is fresh and citrusy.
