Starting the drying process for the next delivery to Marlaina's Kitchen, Introducing MK Spices, 'They're rather nice' for our spice blend collabs 😁 well over 300 cayenne are on their way! (90 already fully dried and ground, not pictured). This is one seriously PACKED dehydrator 😁🥳❤️‍🔥

I moved house a couple of weeks ago, but managed to do a harvest yesterday afternoon at my greenhouse! Mostly cayenne but some scotch bonnet and Serrano too - let me know if you want to order!!! (Red habanero already spoken for so not featured in pic 😉)

We are baaaack!!! Thanks to everyone for their well wishes on my surgery. I've had a few hiccups but I'm getting there with a slow recovery.

I harvested 90 cayenne yesterday, that I'm drying out to make a few pure cayenne dried packs. They'll be available online shortly. I estimate there will be another 300 that are ripening as well 😁

The plants are all now (very late in the season!) Really going crazy! Loads of red habanero, Trinidad Scorpion & scotch bonnet that I'm waiting for ripening. Quite a few carolina reaper and serrano as well and more to come!

Watch this space, and thanks for your support as always,

Hi everyone! Sorry for the silence. I've been suffering from herniated discs in my lumbar spine for the last 11 months and finally had corrective surgery almost 6 weeks ago.

The greenhouse has suffered from me being unable to do physical tasks and we're currently battling an epic aphid infestation 😪

I'll update when I can, but in the meantime this season might have to be on hold as I recover from my spinal surgery.

At least I'm healing well! Pic of my surgery site below 🥰 I had 14 staples holding me together for a few weeks as you can see, so it's going to be a slow and long process until I can do gardening again 🥲

So excited to be collaborating with Marlaina's Kitchen, Introducing MK Spices, 'They're rather nice' on some new added FYAH spice blends! If you want the source of the heat I'm you're gurl, but for epic spice blends try out MK Spice and look out for the Fyah logo 😁😁😁
