The superhot sprogglets have undertaken their first migration! 🌱🌶️🔥

They’ve officially moved from the germination rack into the big-boy tent under the big LEDs, and they’ve settled in beautifully. Looking pretty damn lush already! 🌱

Next job is to start sowing all the milder varieties and get the next wave underway.

Things have been moving a little slower than usual this past week, as I had surgery on my hand last Thursday, so doing anything in the grow room has been a bit of a mission. But we’re getting there — slowly but surely! 😊

The 2026 Chilleez NZ grow is well and truly cranking now. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🔥

After many years of playing with this recipe, Chillimato finally feels like home.

I added more roasted fresh tomatoes, extra onion, a big hit of garlic, more vinegar and a little less chocolate habs, but it now has so much more depth.

This is the sauce I’ve been chasing since day dot.

One happy capsaicin mixologist here ☺️

🌱 Chilli Seedling Orders – Upcoming Season 🌶️

I’m currently buried in spreadsheets and sorting out my sowing lists for the upcoming chilli-growing season.

Anyone wanting to order chilli seedlings from me this year, please get in touch soon with the varieties and quantities you’re interested in. Knowing what people are after now helps me plan how many of each variety to sow and ensures I can grow enough plants to cover everyone’s orders.

There’ll be a huge selection available again—from mild and flavourful varieties right through to the seriously hot superhots! 🔥

Send me a message with your wish list, and I’ll add it to my growing plan.
