Communal chilli sauce?

Communal chilli sauce?

I'm just idling on an idea to make a chilli sauce with produce from this community.

Every year I grow hundreds of extremely spicy chillies. I have an over abundance of them and make chilli sauce towards the end of the season. I've made some fantastic sauces in the past few years but it's always too much for me to finish.

I'm wondering if anyone would like to share produce from their garden and send, or give it to me, and in exchange I'll make a chilli sauce and give you a bottle.

I try to grow as many fruit and veg for the chilli sauce myself but I'm running out of garden space. I'm happy to buy ingredients but I thought it would be more fun if some members of the community pitch in with their homegrown things in exchange for a bottle of (extremely) spicy sauce.

My chilli sauce base is habanero, and I add other chillies for colour, flavour and extra spice. I often use moruga scorpion for the lovely colour and a kick of heat, I occasionally add Carolina reaper, dragon breath or other extremely spicy chillies.

If anyone is willing to pitch in any of the following produce, please let me know, or if you have something you think would be good, I'm all ears.

Tomato, garlic, onion, lime, red capsicum (paprika, bell pepper), some kind of sweet fruit (previously I've used pineapple, peach, pomegranate), carrot.

If I do this it'll be around September most likely.

I live in (north) Chiba so if you aren't too far away it might be easy to meet or send.

Please let me know your thoughts on this, and if you're willing to join me, and what you think you can add.

I hope this is something the community likes and something we can do :)

Several years ago I bought a very sad looking lemon tree.

It had been sitting in the shade of the store for a couple years. It had a couple little leaves on it, but looked very pathetic. I felt bad for it and bought it. The first year I got one lemon, the second year nothing, but this year it has so many blossoms on it. I'm looking forwards to heaps of homegrown lemons this year :D

Also, lemon blossom is the best smelling flower in my opinion. I'm looking forwards to going outside and smelling the wonderful smell.

I need to get a bigger home for it and some new soil at a later date.
