Here is our pepper crop, which was planted at the end of December. The Pepper Team have been working really hard, hanging the strings for the young plants to grow up. All in all, they have hung and tied around 650,000 strings and knots over a 3 weeks period! pic.twitter.com/rm1fLE9hrI — Thanet Earth (@thanetearth) January 27, 2020
