    Hello
    Can anyone recommend a chilli that is mild to medium, a one that can be eaten from the plant without stripping the lining from my mouth and doing a caustic soda like journey through my internals. I've already got some that can do that.
    I'm not looking for the big sweet bell type but one that has a bit spice about it.
    If you can recommend, can you also tell me where I can get the seeds.

    Thanks for any help you can give

    Jalepeno are only about 3000 scoville units and the seed can be found just about everywhere.

      Hello and thanks for the answer, a bit more googling led me to chilliesgalore which then led me to sea spring seeds the first states mild, medium etc the second gives the SHU. I'll have a peruse.

      However if anyone knows from experience what would be a good choice do shout up

      thanks for the link harrys

          Apology for the late reply
          Yes most aware that I'm a bit late getting the seeds planted - tardy is me
          Ordered 'Numex Joe E Parker', which is an Anaheim type and 'TAM JALAPENO' (MILD) and
          and 'PADRON' which is apparently The famous Spanish Tapas pepper
          Didn't need the last but whats 'need' got to do with it
          Am now waiting with seed tray at the ready
