Chillies - growing and overwintering 2019

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

Hey 4 Shoes!

I know this as been discussed B4, but seems the bigger the pot when planting on, the plants just "Thrive" ..............

[Chrissyteacup]

Haven’t got mine on the go yet waiting for my heated prop to come but thanks to the seed circle and a couple I’ve bought my growing list is much longer then last year!....
Cherio roxa
Biquino (red and yellow)
Trinidad scorpion peach
Bhut jolokia chocolate
Dorset naga
Serrano
Aji pinapple
Hot cherry paprika
Nebru 7
Monkey face
Thunder mountain longhorn
Teja

Hopefully my overwintered Havana gold and Trinidad perfume will survive but will re sow if there’s space!
I may have to have a chilli challenge when they are all ripe!!!!

24 Varieties is good enough for me this year as I have to try segregate, isolate and save some seed for the ones I just love to use!

[Small pumpkin]

Another 26 varieties now in the propagator ( and a good few spare ready for the plug plant swap, if anyone's up for that ) . Had a few more of my December sowing germinate over night. Will pot them up later.

[Scarlet]

I loved doing the swap last year so I need to get myself into gear - will find a little list. I'm going to keep it small again though.
Last years small selection meant I could look after them all well and none of them got neglected.

I still have four very handsome plants - lemon drop, one of SPs "Nigel the Dorset Naga" siblings?? , the chocolate hab and the peach hab.

Did anyone else grow the peach hab, did you like the taste?

[Small pumpkin]

Never tried the peach hab. think I need to grow a few more hab varieties as the ones I have tried have been very different from each other. Not just colour .
I'm trying giant white hab this year for the first time ( thanks to Philthy ), chocolate hab ( thanks to seed circle) one of my favourite, and pink hab.

[Mitzi]

Was the peach hab in last year’s seed circle? I don’t recall getting it. What does it taste like?

I like the look of the Chocolate Locoto selling on real seed ..but it doesn't say how hot it might be.Any one know any thing about it.?

[Ognen09]

I quietly push open the door and stand rather nervously. Clears throat. "sorry, excuse me...I want to grow some chillies.... but......but I'm a wuss and can't stand hot ones! Sorry, but does anyone know of a lovely flavoured but heatless chilli?......please don't throw chillies at me!"

It all depends on what you call hot ones.
Not all chilli grower enjoy really hot chillies. But we grow them anyway ( it's a thing ). It's not all about the heat.
The Trinidad perfume is the heatless chilli everyone is talking about. I'm growing it for the first time this year.
After a very quick google I found this. Never grown any of them so can't advise but I like the look of a couple

That chocolate locoto does look good. Can't help with any information sorry. If it's anything like the red one then the heat level will divide opinion! I didn't think it was to bad at all, Bob though it was one of the hottest things he'd ever tried!
I like the look of real seeds other new variety they've got in for the year. Chilahuacle Negro.

Now walking away muttering
I don't need any more chillies

[Ms-T]

SP I looked at that too,but went with the chocolate locoto in the end .so if they grow i will use them for the swap.
Still thinking on what others to have this year, as i'm still picking Jo longs that are in the G/h.

Hi Ognen! I grew Trinidad perfume last year and was well flavoured but heartless-good in salads I also grew Havanah gold which has a mild spice and a more fruity flavour which I preferred and will be growing it again this season.
