That's a great idea about initiating the next generation of chili plants by way of chili seeds.

Is there anything culinary to integrate the chili-plant stems?

Thank you for your comment below, on Sep. 14, 2021, in answer to my previous, previous-day observation and question.

The first paragraph to the first subheading, Bedding down, alerts us that "September 1st was rainy, and as is often the case in Britain I sat in the allotment pavilion waiting for the shower to cease, until along with another hardy soul I went home, only for the weather to dry up later on. What do you expect in North West England? But all was not wasted, as I had done some work, laying down weed control fabric on some raised beds."

Does that weed-control fabric last or is it biodegradable?

The family that birthed him and the family that Clement of Alexandria created intrigue me.

Is there a tradition as to whether he interacted with his nuclear- and extended-birth family, with his collateral and direct relatives?

One might mull that as possible because of his mixing Adam birthing Eve in Egyptian-mythology fashion!

Some Unitedstatesians call men male witches even as the word warlock can be considered the "job title" -- ;-D -- of those men who display witchly powers.

Do fairy tales ever have male witches?

A ringtail sentient as family member appeals to me.

Feline sentients in the wild are team members. My Gusty Gus sometimes came for food and water at unexpected times. She always "fronted" at those times for someone else, such as a hungry, orphaned opossum and -- ! -- a hungry, orphaned rooster!

So feline and ringtail sentients together probably get along. Has anyone had any experience with feline and ringtail sentients "hobnobbing" in the wild or under one roof?

It depends on how you define the term. Good witches in fairy tales are mostly called fairies. We can find one in Ceinderella, for instance. And we can find a bad fairy in The Sleeping Beauty, of course. A fairy and a witch is essentially the same. The word witch basically means wise woman, not bad woman, as some people believe. And being wise means having powers which can be use for good or bad purposes.

The third paragraph to the first subheading, Moroccan mirrors, advises us that "The craftsman may use a range of colours when painting the mirror's frame or doors, it's not uncommon to find hues of red or green or blue together. Having said that, colours which reflect light are also used frequently, which is why many Moroccan mirrors will have silver or gold frames, helping to cast even more light back into the space."

Is it known why craftsmen apparently like blue, green and red together? Might there always be either a blue or a green or a red in any Moroccan mirror?

The first paragraph to the first subheading, What are the Benefits of Cooking with a Tagine?, advises us that "Chicken, lamb, fish, couscous, seafood and a range of vegetables and fruits are often prepared using this method of cooking."

Are other meats such as ham, pork and steak not advisable for tagine-pot cooking?

There are hints that He was married, but no details of the wife's identity are known

The second paragraph to the second subheading, Vintage Saint Patrick's Day Wall Clocks, advises us that "Over the years, shamrocks and all things green have become associated with St Patrick's Day, irrespective of the fact that St Patrick's colour was originally that of blue."

Are all gift ideas green in Ireland?
Or might some gift ideas be blue for St. Patrick's real color or green, orange and white for the flag colors?

For example, might there be St. Patrick's clocks -- like those that the phishing interference mars my access -- in blue or in blue and green or in blue, green and orange?

Your answer three comment boxes down intrigues me in its information about Piebald and Welsh Mountain ponies as possible candidates for the pony breed in your avatar.

Is the rug complicating the pony-breed identification or might it always be an involved investigation to identify whether it's a Piebald or a Welsh Mountain?

Clement as married man intrigues me.

Is there any tradition as to whom he married and with what ceremony -- likeliest Christian, correct? -- they married?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

The Lowther-Garden clock appears, to my way of thinking, competitive as a tourist-attracting structure competitive with the windmill -- has fishes between each number.

Does each fish display artistic fancy or perhaps the area in-demand fish species?

L. Frank Baum's Oz land began with four witches, of whom those easterly and westerly brought bad. He considered his southern witch -- whom the film version called northern -- goodest of the good, as communicated by her name Glinda the Good.

Do fairy tales ever have an all-good witch such as the Baum Glinda?

Fennel salads always have crowd-pleasing appearances, scents, tastes and textures, don't they?

My fennel salads always have goat's cheese and green beans. Sometimes I have a smaller fennel side-salad with Mozzarella or Parmesan or both for those who hanker for the latter two cheeses with their goat's cheese ;-D!
