Chillies 2023

This year I have overwintered 2x locoto, 1x aji limon, 1x jalapeno 1x orange pepperoncini. I'll probably start more of the locotos, aji limon and jalapenos from seed too.

Will also grow
Aji Norteno
Aji Benito
Aji Mochero.

What is everyone else growing?

 

I have Janurary 16th on my calendar as the 21st day after starting my soil blocks with new seeds. Last year I only got a few to germinate and then the entire crop with the exception of the Shineybrids, was decimated by white fly.

Ever hopeful Lori...

 

Didn't overwinter anything.

This year growing two, de Cayenne & Piment d'Espelette (Basque pepper).

 

Devil's Breath and 7 Pot Yellow - both have 2 seeds germinated. That is fast!

 

Could be one for me then.

Or maybe I should try Jalapenos.

 

The thing is, with chillis I dont taste anything spicy as such, all I get is heat.
I was under the impression that Jalapenos were not as hot as chillis.

I would actually like a sweet pepper with a small amount of heat, just for putting in a salad, I dont actually use them much in cooking.

 

I'm like @pete I don't like the heat higher than black pepper level.

I grow the hot stuff because just about everyone I know likes the hot stuff. And why bake or cook things for them without adding chillies where possible.

 

Nope?
I'll look it up.

 

Yeah, might be worth a try @Loofah , but it appears they are best cooked, but interesting all the same.
