    Hello all been a long time since i've posted, been a busy boy you see. Well since that time i have picked up some clients who buy ready grown capsicum plantlets from me. I spoke to ziggy about this, a while back, he also knows a bit more background on my knowledge etc due to a lil chat we had at west dean :D :D

    This is my dream growing plants i am passionate about and developing new crosses and strains not just for heat, but for flavour taste and encouraging others into this selcted "hobby" of mine! I know alot of you guys probably find it a bit strange, being fixated upon one type of plant, but the amount of variety to me is the most amazing thing.

    I do apologise for the rambling had a drink or 2 and thought i'd share what im proud of in a forum i feel supported in :D

    Needless to say ill have some interesting additions for the seed parcel :D

      Each to their own. I see that there is a Tabasco Cheddar cheese, might try that out, don't know how hot it's supposed to be. Might need a beer or two when I eat it, any excuse,eh...:dbgrtmb:

      tabasco varies between 25,000 and 100,000shu dependant on strain. as for the cheddar im not so sure, but chilli and dairy dont mix for the reason dairy tends to cancel out capsaicin but i guess it'd be good to try!

      Its probably the wrong word to use in a thread about Chillies but "Cool":dbgrtmb::biggrin:

      Nothing wrong wit concentrating on one type of plant, there are many Gardeners who hold part or all of a National Collection of one species or another.

      Thought about it myself, but never been settled enough & don't know if there would be much interest in a National Collection of Liverworts.

          I wasn't going to say anything about the evil plan:snork:

          But those Chillies you gave me were great, nice flavour & didn't blow the top of me head off:dbgrtmb:
