No luck with the Big Jims, I'm afraid, but this is what I've got going now:
Czechoslovakian black
Bishop's Crown
Pepperoncini
Mulato Isleno
Numex Twillight
Cayenne purple
Cherry Bomb
Purple Jalapeno

Will save from whatever does best!

[northepaul]

Sounds great, everyone. At the moment i have some purple cayennes, mulato isleno and pepercine(?) limons and jalepinos - the limons are decidedly the weakest so far...

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

Thea, I'll need to withdraw. It's just not my year for peppers.

[northepaul]

Cool and welcome Newton!!

[bishop]

All my plants looking good, got chillies on them all now, pleased with this, just wondering how everyone else is getting on .

[northepaul]

Strangely I dont have any flowers or chillis on my jalepenos??!!

[smallblueplanet]

Growing, but a long way from fruiting (flower buds just appearing) I've got:

Yellow fatali
Aribibi Gusano
Peach Habanero
Mustard Habanero
Chocolate Habanero
Orange Habanero
White Habanero
Early Jalapeno (not!)
Angolan Gindungo Cahombo
Brazilian Starfish
Prik Chee Faa

I don't mind saving the seeds from ripe fruit if anyone would like, but I can't be bothered to isolate them - so let me know. But atm who knows how many will fruit, depends on the weather and such.

[bishop]

SBP nice selection of plants you got there, isolated or not count me in for any thing you can save, paech habs like the sound of them, good luck

[BarleySugar]

I've been picking choc habs, hot lemons, peach habs, scotch bonnets and what I was told were dorset nagas, but 2 different sources have given 2 different looking chillies. I think one looks more authentic, the other one looks as if it might be a cross with scotch bonnet, both are pretty hot though. Some plants were sown last Sept, others at the beginning of Dec, so they are quite well ahead. They are all hand pollinated inside.
The ones sown at the end of Jan are just beginning to fruit in the greenhouse. Those are not isolated, so might have crossed. I tried the pva glue on some, but obviously did not use enough because the flowers still managed to open .

[T8Ter]

I've got growing so far
Fatalli - doing really well and fruiting
Congo black
Trinidad Scorpion
Gambia Red
Red Savina
Bhut Jolokia
Dorset Naga
Numex Twilight
Bolivian Rainbow
All have flowers except for the Bhut's and Naga's, hopefully they'll pick up (if the weather ever changes) Tried to be carefull regarding pollination but like everyone else can't guarantee no crosses (still a fatalli/naga cross sounds quite cool )
