Chillies - growing and overwintering 2019

[mcdood]

My first chilli seedling has sprouted - Loco (No.1)

I've bought a pack. Don't know why, no real room to grow them. Just...couldn't resist.

I've separated the variety names so it's easier to read for future reference. Probably too long to put in a post here (145 varieties) so here's a link anyone can copy from - https://pastebin.com/eDtLTsQM

That's not helping me resist, you know .
It's still going to take some working out which 100 you've got, out of that lot
Well done for giving it a go. Let us know how you get on

Well it looks like I'm going to give 'Pot Black' a go this year as I got some seed as a present. Based on how long 'Black Olive' took to get going last year, I've started-off 'Pot Black' alongside the Habs I'm growing in my little makeshift propagator on top of the radiator

Is that the same as Royal black?? If so mine took ages to grow but I love it.

I'll test the ones I'm not sure of on my brother, he can handle heat much better than me.

Don't know, I'm afraid. Reaches 2ft, does well in a pot, can sit happily on a windowsill and is good to cook with as well, apparently.

Grew Pot Black last year - See Chris11 Challenge Blog, Pots 8a, 8b and 11b. They took approx. 12 days to germinate, medium to small sized plant - I'll be growing in a hanging basket this year. small black taper pods turning to red when ripe.

The leaf stems don't look very purple/black?

A whiteboard!? True dedication I use plastic labels with the names on which has led to some disasters when my neice has kindly helped collect them up! Not do bad with the chillies but infuriating with tomatoes!
