Chillies - growing and overwintering 2019

[4Shoes]

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

Just that particular picture.

Here is one showing early fruit, stem, flowers. 8a, 8b, 11a from June Blog

It was an early guess - some type of Jalapeno - Proven to be wrong

Sown the rest of mine this Sunday just gone

Barrett's Bonnet
Big Jim
Birds Eye
Black Hungarian
Bulgarian Carrot
Cayenne long and slim
Habanero Choclate
Prairie Fire
Scotch Bonnet Red
Tabasco
And Zimbabwe Black

Making 25 varieties, that will do me this year

Now on to the tomatoes which I will be more selective with as these bad boys need so much room!

Hi Mitzi did you manage to get any of the Chilli willy seeds to pop?

Yes, I have had 100% germination of those! (Always helps when they are fresh seeds not years old.) I might sow some more as I only pricked out 2 of each colour and the others went leggy and fell over. I don't want more than two plants myself but a couple of friends have expressed an interest.

Let me know what seeds you would like in exchange! If you want Superhots I have Brazilian Ghost or Nagabrain Chocolate - the latter has a wonderful taste. I'm also growing lots of baccatums this year so have quite a variety of those... just let me know what sort of thing you like.

Pricked out some more seedlings last night so now I have 19 in total of 9 varieties:

2 x SB WHP x
2 x BBG White
2 x CW Yellow
3 x CW Red
2 x Guyana Rush
2 x Peach Jolokia
1 x White Jolokia
3 x White Lightning
2 x SB MA

I'm going away tomorrow so I hope my OH remembers to water them.

Still seven* varieties not germinated including what was going to be my only rocoto this year (orange manzano.)

* Maybe six - one Havana Gold seed looks like it might be doing something

[rambleberry]

My Pot Black seed has germinated after less than a week, along with the Bird's Eye, Biquinho Red, Biquinho Yellow and Ajvarski.
Currently sorting-out my other packets, trying to work-out which ones need growing this year to replenish the seed before it gets too old.
Also starting Lemon Drop and Spaghetti.

Are they going under artificial lights once germinated?

Are they going under artificial lights once germinated?

Some people do, some don't.
I haven't got lights so mine go on a sunny windowsill.

[toomanytommytoes]

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

So I've ended up with about 350 seeds (yes...I counted ). Some of them are black, which I assume are rocotos?

[annie8]

My mixed seeds arrived yesterday. Not planning to sow them yet though. Maybe feb.

[the big lebowski]

my cups arrived this morning

im thinking of doing what this guy has done having 1 cup inside another and using the outer one as a reservoir

How exciting. I'd guess rocoto for the back seeds too
So how many of your 350 seeds are you sowing?

Maybe...10?

Are you perhaps interested in receiving 175 mystery seeds?

Wow that's a very generous offer. Thank you .

I've just spent the last 10 minutes mentally re planing my tunnel growing for the year to see if I can fit them in .

I'd love 175 mystery seeds, thank you

I will be growing all of them

I'll send you a PM.
