How about Friars Hat ? They have an interesting shape. Sadly I don't have any seeds to offer.

I got the chilli bug last year! Got fresno cheyenne , jalapeno andanother from the local nursery, nice harvest most of which is in the freezer. Joined a chilli forum and now have loads of seeds donated by very generous experts and will purchase a polytunnel so I can get a really good crop of chillis and tomatoes. Let me sort thro my seeds and I'm sure I'll have some spare. (but I'm still trawling the seed co's! Premier seeds direct on ebay are good for cheap seeds.

I will look out for that one, i did see a VERY naughty shaped type on ebay, still giggling, can't put the name here cos its norty i may have to give in and get some seeds just for the sheer humour valour

Norty Chilli

ha ha, that's the oddest shaped vegetable i've ever seen!

I also have a chilli obsession - they are sso beautiful to look at an unfussy to take care of! Managed to get an abundance of cayenne chillis out of pots in a little yard last year. They were happy out with the occasional watering and so tasty!

I've been trying to find the ultimate gazpacho recipe for a while now and came close last year. Fingers crossed for this season coming!

Aw noooo!

I thought I would not grow chillis this year but I've caught the bug again thanks in no small part to this topic lol

I am going to have to try for some 'norty' seeds next week or the week after if they still have them, i am afraid i can't resist.

...and i tried so hard, honest, but my addiction just won't be controlled!

there was me quietly doing my sowing for the chilli control trial, and wondering why so many of my varieties are now missing ( long story) , and i got to mourning some of the varieties and made the mistake of going online.

There i found myself on the real seed site, and am now the proud and expectant owner of:

Lantern chillis
pretty in purple
lemon drops
purple venezuelan.

i had to stop there, cos i was actually looking for

Aurora
birds eye
marbles
naga
prairie fire
rooster spur
and a rainbow one i cant remember the name of

I Have tons of Birds eye seeds if you would like some.
Am going to have a sort out tonight and see just what I have got, will tell everyone what is available later..

[muslimgrower]

some kilner jars i got from the internet and made some chili pickle

you can consume the chilis after a month being pickled.. The bigger chilis are still fleshy after a month and i feel 8 weeks is the right time to start consuming them,,,

various chilis ready for pickling red round chilis are the"cherry bomb"

it is so addictive.
