To market

Edible Ornamentals, Chawston, Bedfordshire

People still ask Joanna Plumb “Can we really grow chillies in the UK?” Joanna grows over 50 chilli varieties in polytunnels – including jalapeño, serrano and Scotch bonnet – which are sold at markets, as pick-your-own or delivered to Thomasina Miers’ Wahaca restaurants. Customers can get growing and cooking advice from Joanna on Facebook, Twitter or face-to-face at the stall from staff working in the nursery and cooking sauces and salsa in the kitchen. They’re also up for a challenge, “Tommi has asked us to supply epazote (a Mexican herb similar to oregano). All we need is a source of seeds.”
