I took myself off to the polytunnel this afternoon and indulged myself in a little weeding, winding. watering and wsideshooting whilst listening to the rain hammering on the cover. It does look much better now.

Whilst grubbing around the plants, I noticed that I have some self-seeded red basil that has started growing.

And there’s a Slovakia pepper that is starting to turn red.

Favourite has to be these Cayenne peppers though. I can’t wait to see if they all come out like this.

And whilst on my way back to the house during a moment of respite from the rain, I noticed that some of the red onions that I replanted to produce seeds have started to flower.

Oddly though, given that all the bulbs are in their second year, not all of them have shown an interest in doing so. It’ll be interesting to see if those that don’t instead produce fat bulbs as sets would do.
