    I know, I think they like us at the local Indian Takeaway because we order rice and dhal with our main and don't order some of the weird English stuff they get asked for. image Thanks.

    Him for seeds try the south devon chilli farm their seeds are excellent 

  • Have some chillis in the fridge that are giving to be used for cooking. If I save the seeds have I missed the season or will they over winter ok for next year?

    I've been reading all this thread and bumped it back up for chilli growers image

  • thanks kef this just pinged up on my email so I thought I would add a bit lol..... My chilli growing has gone manic this year with the inclusion of hydroponics and grow lights... Did you know the average t5 kitchen light can assist in your growing... My chilli collection has also exploded and now includes rare wild varieties like Galapoganese which is a furry beauty and even the leaves smell..I am also growing a not yet released to the general public seed for a potential record breaking hot chilli... This is its 2nd year being grown and I am honoured to be trusted by its developer to grow it.. I would post my grow list but I fear I would have to admit to my obsession.... Would love to hear what you are all growing .......
  • Oh and on a footnote this years holiday for me is to the Norfolk chilli farm to help the owner pot up lmao!!! Can't wait
  • This year I'm growing Cherry Bomb, Orange Habanero, Red Scotch Bonnet, Yellow Scotch Bonnet, Cayenne, Numex Twilight, Joe's Long, Serenade, Apache, Ring of Fire, as well as some sweet peppers.

    Some of them have come from self-saved seeds from previous years, so I won't be surprised to see some hybrids that have come from cross-pollination while growing together in the greenhouse.

    I've just noticed mine have germinated in 4 days on a heated bench. 

    Saved seed my daughter sent me . No idea on variety. Tiny thin one only about 2cm long
