This morning I picked up a wallet outside a local shopā€¦no it wasnā€™t in someoneā€™s back pocket it was on the ground. It was a scruffy looking thing but contained notes and a couple of cards. I pulled out one of the cards to check the name and to my surprise I recognised the name as a woman who lives two doors away from meā€¦P. (auline) Maā€¦nt I chuckled to myself, ā€œMy my, she will be pleased.ā€ I put the wallet in my pocket and walked back to the car. By the car park there were 3 guys having a chat and feeling pleased with myself I said, ā€œIā€™m gonna be in my neighbourā€™s good books, Iā€™ve just picked up her wallet outside the shopā€ One of the men does a stagey panicey pat-down and says, ā€œOMG that must be mineā€ ā€œOh yeah whatā€™s your name then?ā€ I askā€¦ ā€œPaulā€ he replies. ā€œā€¦and your last name?ā€ I ask. ā€œMaā€¦.ntā€ he says. Fuck me, itā€™s yours. šŸ¤£ ---

Following comments from you lot, esp @Treebeard i convinced Mrs P\_F that we still had enough pickled chilli from last year and way too much Tomato soup mix. A subsequent trip to the shop for Imber (i had to google - ginger), brown sugar cardamon & red onions. And today ![20230915_095304](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/d/d/dd994d1b81f1873a5beab5ecda430fe54613ef38.jpeg) 7 small jars of chilli jam made. A tasting session ensued. Oh my days, explosive burning heat becomes overwhelmed by sweet intense tomato richness. Phwoar. Hopefully enough chilli on the bushes for one more batch! Mrs P\_F was mega impressed. Bravo team ---

We did good this year - continuous from early spring and just about still going. I did remember to water and feed them this year though. ---

This must be the curse of the market gardener - we overlettuced this year - we couldnā€™t keep up with it we fed the entire street for two straight months until everyone stopped answering the door to us ---

Iā€™ve had lots of chillis this year but they have about as much kick as Che Adams from 6 yards with an open goal. ---

Still picking chillies - Mrs TB dries them, and after a bit blitzes them in some machine, and then she has chilli flakes for months! Also - used first flush of tomatillos for chilli verde with pork etc etc - all now eaten! Very soon final flush of tomatillos will lead to more chilli verde with 2 kg of cubed pork shoulder (gives about 9 servings), and (hopefully) 5 to 10 jars of tomatillo pickle & savoury jam. Iā€™m letting the cucumber plants diet- there is a limit to the amount of pickled cucumber and cucumber relish you can have! I make people that come here take a cucumber! ---
