Squash – Turks Turban

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

Happy Guy Fawkes Night everyone! a bit of fun for you. The chillies are sweet bonita, Havana gold and aji limon in various stages. Maybe some padron and shishito too. #chillies #growyourown #growyourownfood #kitchengarden #potager #growwhatyoueat #eatwhatyougrow #vegetables #vegetarian #vegan #bonfirenight #guyfawkes #5thnovember #foodphoto #foodphotography #pinkladysnapsnov19 @pinkladyappleuk @foodphotoaward #havanagold #foodporn #organic #allotment #allotmentlife #smallholding

Drying chillies to make chilli powder. These have got to be super dry to make powder so I’ve cut in half and am using an @excaliburdehydrator. The chillies are #ajilimon and #havanagold . The Havana Gold which I bought from @mrfothergills has been so prolific I’m running out of ways to preserve them. #growyourfood #growyourown #growyourownfood #kichengarden #potager #chilli #chillies #harvest #allotment #allotmentlife #smallholding

I much prefer to eat my #pumpkin than carve them. In the midlands we’ve already had our first frosts so it’s definitely time to get yours in if you haven’t already. This marina di-chioggia is an #heritage variety a rich tasting large squash. The hotter and sunnier the spot it is grown in the more warty it becomes which is caused by sugar. Mines a fairly smooth specimen. Full review in bio. It’s not the easiest of squash to buy in the UK. I bought mine from @suttons_seeds_plants #pumpkin #squash #growyourfood #growyourown #kitchengarden #potager #organic #halloween #heritageseeds #heirloomseeds #slowfood #foodporn #foodphotography #marinadichioggia

The chilli harvest coming in. 1.5kg of chilliest to be processed. Most I will chop and freeze. Some I will pickle, some I will dry and powder with a spice grinder. #chili #growyourownfood #kitchengarden #allotment #allotmentlife #potager #peppers #preserving #organic #growyourown #autumn #harvest

Back to the normal blog now after some time in the states. In the USA growing increasing popular it is the Japanese cousin of the Padron tapas pepper, called the Shishito. In Japanese the name is Shishitōgarashi the word translates to chilli pepper that looks like the head of a lion…funny looking lion is all I will say. If you do want a chilli that really looks like like something then look up peter pepper! Shishito peppers are a great little pepper and easy to grow in the UK. Full review and instructions on how to grow in bio link. You can buy them in the Uk from @bakercreekseeds (not affiliated) #growyourfood #growyourown #seeds #pepper #peppers #chillies #eatwhatougrow #growwhatyoueat #kitchengarden #allotment #allotmentlife #shishitopeppers #shishito
