Chilli Freaks, what are you growing this year?

[Ariel Badger]

I am using this stockist chileseeds and they seem generous with the counting! Last year I used South Devon Chilli Farm and they were very good but this year they have made their website difficult to navigate so I gave up on them.
My varieties this year are.....
Trinidad Scorpion. ( Nice looking Hab with great heat)
Bonda Ma Jacque. ( Habenero, smell like heaven)
Long Hot Habenero. (What it says on the tin)
Plus they bunged in some free seeds
Ring of Fire. (Cayenne pepper, needs drying and grinding with good heat.)

What is you growing peeps?

I'm growing whatever I grew last year. No idea what they were apart from the fact they were really hot.

[Alexio]

I'm not growing anything right now but last week I bought a pack of about 12 "birds eye" chilli peppers from Sainsburys for 79p. Holy hell were they hot. I still have a couple left that I'm trying to get through.

I didn't realise how much I missing out by making all of my meals spicy or just eating the chillies during the day. Where is a good place to find seeds and when is the best time to plant them?

Hmm, might buy some.

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

I like to think of myself as the fast food of chiliheads. Just buy the pre-made extracts and add according to food.
Doesn't taste as good and has less satisfaction than self-growing, but is quick and easy. I still haven't finished my Black mamba from a few months back, but mixing with Old el Paso salsa is the ultimate in cheap and easy heat for fajitas.
Planning on growing next year dependant on care factors.

I tried Nagas last year and found them late to harvest and low yeald so I am not bothering this year.
Good luck with them.

Why buy seeds ? Why not just use the seeds from chillis you have bought and liked ?

I have a soft spot for home pickled jalapenos, and really should make some again.

Maybe I'll use the seeds.

Why buy seeds?
Because I can not buy the chillies that I want locally. I can buy about 8 varieties of chilli within a mile of my house the hottest being Naga and Bonnets but as they are imported they are not always as fresh as they could be.
The pleasure of taking a rare fruit straight from the plant to the pot is great indeed.

what's the deal with growing these?

buy a grow bag, plant seeds, water, once growing support with bits of wood?

or is it more complex than that?

[The Original Muzza]

BCF has so many chilli heads it's great! I'm going to start branding colostomy bags with bike manufacturers and make myself a mint.
