The Grapevine Seed Circle Number 5 - Chilli Special 2011-12

[northepaul]

Whilst clearing out my seed box, I found I have some of the following if anyone on here wants them for an SAE:
Ramerio Pepper
Sweetbite pepper
Mini bell mixed
Cherry bomb chilli
about half a pack of tabasco chilli
and an unopened pack of hot patio sizzle chilli

I know this isnt a swap forum but I am after maybe 6 Jalapeno seeds (I thought I had some, but must have used or swapped them last year) if anyone has any to swap for the above or an SAE, please???
Hope I am not breaking any rules

i would be interested

There's no reason to cap the numbers at 16 - people drop out and the reason I capped the 'allsorts' one is that some veg are tricky and saving for 16 seemed the top limit.

For this, toms and squash - I'd say just grab whoever you can and see who performs at the end!

[northepaul]

Sounds good to me, Zaz, but not sure what everyone else thinks? Maybe stop at 20...? I mean we cant go on forever!!

[zazen999]

I'd accept all comers and when it comes to harvest time, sort out the ones that actually save the seed! We have about 5 drop out of the first one so there's plenty of space. And with chili seeds, unless it's a particularly low harvest - you can usually save enough seeds for a few each.

[Mrs Dobby]

Cool, then Ill save some seed from my peppers and chillies and see what happens come the end of the growing year!

You'd be mad not to Thea - but it's your call chuck....

[northepaul]

I'm happy if everyone else in the circle is happy
I have added you to the list Mrs Dobby

[Mrs Dobby]

Way cool, thanks very muchly, Im always up for sharing some chilli seeds, even better if I get some other varities to add to the 17 types Im already growing

Any preferences on which specific ones you'd like me to save from my growing list?

Dont think anyone else is growing Naga Jolokia (extremely hot, was listed as 3rd hotest in the world at one point) which grows into a lovely delicate bush about 3' tall with lovely long chillies that go from green to purple to red.

Or perhaps the dreaded 'Dorset Naga', reputedly the worlds hottest chilli? It will be my first year growing them, so as long as I get a decent haul of seeds Im more than willing to share!

[vicky]

I'm certainly happy - seeing that long list of peppers and greedily rubbing hands together!!

[FoxHillGardener]

me, me, me! Add me

So far I've got Big Jim and Czechoslovakian Black going, but there will be more once the light improves a bit. Will be back with planned list later

[northepaul]

Fantastic!! Welcome No 18 Foxhillgardener
