The Chileman challenge

[shirlthegirl43]

Any recommendations on where we can purchase seed from please?

Someone previously posted a link to Moreveg.net and I noticed they do a jalapeno called 'chilli pizza' that says its mild. They also do ordinary jalapeno and at 50p a pkt (plus 75p p&p) seem a cheap way of trying a variety?

(I'm probably gonna give way to 'seed fever' later and order a load (free p&p over £5! )

Thats a great site SBP, but at the moment they don't ship outside of the UK. I will have to see what i can do to get around that.

[Seahorse]

bramble - 'seed fever' is rampant here too I'd be happy to add to my order and forward stuff on to you, just let me know

[smallblueplanet]

Sorry bramble, I gave way to a fivers worth of 'seed fever' this afternoon before I saw your post. I bet seahorse's resolve gives way though!

I registered the other day, I have ordered several different varieties of jalepeno seed and intend to dedicate one of my greenhouses on the allotmentjust for chillies. It may seem overkill but I am totally addicted to chillies and jalepeno's are my fave chilliies. Pickles are great with five or six hot chillies split open in the jar.


Cheers Chris

I'vejust given way to a fivers worth as well. the Moreveg co said they would post to me for £1.25 up to a fiver and £2.25 over that. I was please with that.
No doubt thats only the first of a few orders that will be sent off in the next few weeks. Can't wait to get started.

If you're worried about size HW ( ) check out Rule 7:

Rule number seven, a prize will also be awarded for the best example of "corking". Corking is illustrated in the photograph on the right. Not all peppers exhibit corking, but Jalapeño are quite susceptible to it. It is a process where the pepper skin contains lots of little cracks. If you weren't expecting it you may mistake it for a damaged pepper and throw it out, but it is actually just an indication that the pepper is ripe to eat. In Mexico, peppers with corking are more valued than those without. thechileman also likes corking. take photographs of any nice examples you come across and we'll provide a way for you to send them to us in due course. the best will win a prize.

Is there a prize for girth too?
