The 2015 Chilli Thread

Thanks for the replies and the few suggestions, I'll look out for those, though I have grown Jalapeno before and found them rather bland. Maybe it was just my growing technique though.
And thanks @shiney I had no idea there were variable heat levels from chilies from the same plant - now my own experinece makes sense.

Ho thank you shiny

 

Mini sweet peppers are now cropping



And I've got a Hungarian Hot Wax plant producing 'snail' like chillies, but my initial excitement about this new novel shaped chilli was dashed when I realised although they looked interesting, they would be a PITA to prepare.

 

We all have our crosses to Bere. He he

 

Well, I just picked up a couple of plants that were available, a Hungarian Hot Wax and a Habanero. Never grown either before, would these be better in a sunny unheated garden room or outdoors?

Thanks

Sunny room GG , at least until high summer. Whenever that may be ! I think you will be happy with Hungarian Hot Wax , a good choice .
PS : As the Chilli plant flowers indoors. The little white flowers, will need pollinating. Just use a cotton bud ,late afternoon , and stroke inside each flower. Don't use the same cotton bud on the Habenaro or you could get hybrid chillies. If you can get them outside in July the insects will pollinate them.

 

Well, chillies are now growing well, and we have a number of fruit that have set, some already over 2" long.

I have always failed to feed my chillies before. So to those who don't practice chilli-abuse, how often do you feed your plants once they are busy growing chillies?

 

The grower of the kate 7 pot nick I think is name is said he did this amongst other things to make it Britain's hottest
