Looking for Christmas gifts for the gardener in your life? You need Simpson's Seeds

Simpson's Seeds is publishing the second book written by gardening expert Matt Simpson. It is called The Chilli Book, Lessons learnt from 25 years of playing with fire and it's jam-packed with all the information the aspiring grower of chilli plants could ever need. And we at That's Christmas believe it will make a perfect Christmas gift for the gardener in your life.

Readers will learn about the interesting history of chilli plants, how they can be grown in a variety of different locations, soil types and the like.

Readers will also learn how to construct and operate their own homemade hydroponic systems, how to process your chillies once you have nurtured them and grown them to fruition.

Learn how to run your own chilli cook offs, how to host your own chilli festivals, how to become a chilli farmer and how to make your own chilli sauces. The chapter in question even includes some award winning sauce recipes, too.

Read up on the development of new varieties of chillies and learn about the science behind these remarkable plants and on their heat and flavours. 

The book is priced at a very reasonable £12.50.

Whilst you are at it, why not order some chillies from Simpson's Seeds? they have a wide variety from milder types right up to super hot varieties including the famous (or infamous?) Carolina Reaper, the Black Naga and the Habanero: Trinidad Scorpion.

But Simpson's does offer words of advice and caution on handling these super hot peppers, let alone eating them!

Simpson's also has a stunning range of seeds and plants including their latest blight resistant tomatoes, vegetable plants, plants designed for gardeners to produce their own green manure and some delightful flowers, too.
