In this weeks video I take you for a look at my new vermicomposting setup. So far it is doing well, except for this heat! Hopefully by the end of the year the vermicomposting will be in full swing with all the bins!
2021-07-22 17:17:52 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! With tomorrow being my final day at work, I will be celebrating with a beer or two. And it would be great if you could join me. I thought it would be fun to have a Google Meet instead of a livestream, so that if you wanted to, you could stick your cameras and mics on too. I may need to mute and unmute as required, we will see how it goes. There is a feature in Google Meet to "raise your hand", so that may be useful. I chose Google Meet because you don't need to download any so...

There are just 4 more working days left before my resignation comes into effect. Please keep this information to yourselves for now, I have only shared this with my Patreons and Members.
I have been thinking about the future. In particular the projects I have planned, and the future of the videos I would like to put out there.
There will be more of the sauce making and cooking types of videos as soon as my kitchen is built (fingers crossed that will be by the end of July). 2021-07-02 08:33:49 +0000 UTC View Post

2021-06-29 17:24:25 +0000 UTC View PostIn just 8 days time I will be finishing my job, my career....and starting the next stage of my journey. I am getting pretty excited for what the future may bring!
In other news, the large greenhouse is about 80% completed! I'm hoping to have it done by this coming weekend, and then finally I can pot up my remaining plants.
Last week was a big week for me, and for Mrs ChilliChump. To cut a long story short, I decided to resign from my job. 16 hour days were becoming the normal for me, and taking calls after 10pm...these were the catalyst for me to make this change.
After more than 20 years of prioritising my career, and making MANY personal sacrifices, I decided it was time to change that priority. The future is a little uncertain, but I am excited to see where it takes me. There will be a lot of foc...
2021-06-15 08:24:54 +0000 UTC View PostThe results are in from the livestream poll, and it seems that 4pm BST (11am EDT, 8am PDT, 1am AEST) works best for most people.
Here is the link to the stream https://youtu.be/w3HMohLrCmI
It is "unlisted", to keep it exclusive to Patrons and Members. So you will need to click the link above and then "Set reminder" so you know when I start:

I will be doing a more casual kind of livestream from my garden this coming Sunday (9 May) exclusive for Patreons and Members. Let me know in the poll what time works best for you, and I will stream at the most popular time. In the future I will be able to do more of a time range...but hopefully one of the options works for you folks!
2021-05-07 08:01:35 +0000 UTC View PostTodays video is about finally getting my plants out to the greenhouse. We are still getting some freezing temperatures (since potting out!) but so far my plants are doing ok. Once the weather starts improving, we should see some massive growth finally!
How are your plants doing? Have you dared taking them outside yet?
Also, I am considering doing a bit of an informal livestream with Patreons. Is this something yo...

Thank you all for being a part of my journey up to this point, and I look forward to taking you along for our onward adventure! Lots of exciting things to come, and of course plenty more videos making sauce, spicy recipes, experiments, and of course growing chillies!

The move went well, there is still a lot to do. But Mrs CC and I already feel at home. Of course, one of my biggest priorities is to get my Greenhouse built and ready for my plants. I spent the weekend building the frame, just need to get the base laid. If the weather plays nice, then I should have it up and ready by next weekend! I look forward to showing you all around.
2021-03-28 18:23:32 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick post to say that we exchanged contracts today for our new home! It's been a tough road to get to this point, but we are so happy to finally got to this stage. Mrs CC and I are certainly celebrating tonight. Stay Spicy my friends!

You will be pleased to hear that my pepper on my chilli cross is continuing to grow! The colour on it is changing too. There are a couple others that have appeared as well, but this is still the most progressed.

My seedlings are coming on nicely. Attached photos are over the last 19 days. The majority of these are my superhots. I have planted another couple of trays of seeds last weekend, and will plant some more at the end of the year! How are your seeds coming along?

Hello everyone! Firstly, I want to sincerely thank you for the support you show me here on Patreon and on Discord! As this year progresses, there will be some significant changes happening in my life that will allow me to dedicate more time to you all, and to creating content that you will enjoy. Many of the changes are, in no small part, down to the encouragement and support I get from you. I will keep you updated through the year as these changes happen! Exciting times!

Sriracha hot sauce is a firm favourite of many people. There are a lot of different versions out there, even I have made a few videos showing you variations of Sriracha recipes I have developed. I decided to make a version that you will be able to try for yourself! This is tangy, spicy and delicious. To keep this accessible to everyone, I used tamarind instead of fish sauce. I hope...

A new sauce comes out with tonight's video and will be available for purchase at 5pm BST! It is in very limited quantity so act fast if you want to get a bottle! It is called Piri-Piri Cherry. I will be making more if the feedback is good (which I am pretty sure it will be!).
