    My Draky chillies are coming on nicely

    Going to tag whatever's been open pollinated and then put a few plants in isolation cages/bags for seed saving.

        I've grown chillies in the past but always found the strength unpredictable so tricky in recipies. I've tried various ones but with odd results.

        Could someone recommend one that is a known and predictable strength that is home grown that I could try? (not mega hot just nicely hot).

        Thanks

          That's very difficult. I find that we get different strengths even on the same plant. If using for cooking and you have a narrow range of strength you want then you just have to taste a tiny part of the chilli.

            Done ... Get posting :)

            I'd suggest 'Submarine', which has been developed by Sea Spring Seeds.

            Plug plants are available until the 31st May, so if you want some, get your order in soon.

            http://www.seaspringplants.co.uk/pl...age=flypage.tpl&product_id=213&category_id=25

            The pods are of a decent heat and have a beautiful citrus aroma.

              GG, I found that Hungarian Hot Wax was consistent and had a nice heat that won't blow your socks off ! They are nice big Chilli about 4" long and grow very well in our climate.:blue thumb:

                    Steve, I'm alerting Nathan (Webmaster) with this as it's meant for him. :blue thumb:

                    Nathan, Steve still hasn't got his go ahead from the chilli website.
