This is just seed list. There is a fairly high chance one or two plants will be brought as well.

I'm also trying to over winter Simon (Dorset naga), tree chilli, chocolate habanero, filius blue and ghost.
All my super hot varieties were sown in November and are currently sat under grow lights with a bit of heat from the propagator under them.
The heated propagator will be getting stolen from them between Christmas and new year for my next lot of sowing. Which will be another 5 varieties.

Wow all your grow lists are long!!!

Mine is tiny

Friggitello
Jalape�o
Red cherry
Hungarian Hot Wax

The above started in November under grow lights with the HHW behind his buddies and have only started st show a few specks!

Golden bell
Antohi Romania

Still in packets and yes I know they are peppers and not chilis!

And finally
Another jalape�o pruned to early but doing nicely and little shoots seem to be coming through.

Pictures will follow in due course!!

You all have varieties I've never even heard of!

My "attempt" list - I don't think I dare call it a grow list until about 6 months' hence when I see which have successfully germinated and grown. In most cases I'll only have one plant of each variety. Most will be grown in Chilligrows on south-facing windows and the rest will have to be risked outdoors. I think this is probably too ambitious for my level of expertise and, to be honest, commitment. At the moment it's a complete obsession with me but my interests do tend to wax and wane, so a few months down the line I might get bored and neglect them. I hope not.

Overwintering:
Gusto Purple
Red hab / scots bonnet (not sure what it is; was sold as scots bonnet but shape looks wrong)
Paper Lantern (might chuck this if remaining fruits are tasteless)
Bushy red chilli (may be Superchili F1) - haven't yet had the heart to chuck this; the mildew (if such it was) doesn't seem to be affecting the newer leaves; will see how it does.

Seeds:
Carolina Reaper
Chocolate Habanero
Bhut Jolokia
Scots Bonnet MoA yellow
Purple Peach
Bahamian Goat
Aji Omnicolor
Sugar Rush peach
Aji Pineapple
Aji Melocoton
Peter pepper
Etna
Golden Cayenne
Aleppo
Filius Blue
Numex Twilight
Chenzo

Still haven't decided on mine yet.. You lot are making me think about sowing a couple before January...

[Mitzi]

Scarlet, you said you want photos, so here is my current set up



Garland 7 windowsill heated propagator with IKEA growlight. To the left of the propagator pods you can see the plastic bags holding the chinense seeds. At the far left you can just see the clear plastic box with black lid which holds the remaining Peter pepper seeds (in tissue inside.) Soon the growlight won't be enough so I'm thinking of getting a T5 HO or two.

Thanks! The amaryllis is a single-flowered red and white one, according to the label. It's just opened today and it's a double-flowered white one, which is far more beautiful (to my eyes, anyway) than what it's supposed to be. It's opened even more since I took the photo and looks almost like a waterlily flower.

Keeping it pretty simple so far

Cayenne, ring of fire and something called "Nigels outdoor chilli"( real seeds ) for making powder and flakes.
Red Habanero and Lemmon drop for chutneys and sauces etc...

Red Manzano for hopefully stuffing( satans kiss a right let down last season, plenty of ripe fruit bur golf ball size my asterix)
Will have to sow Manzano earlier this season, had cracking sized fruits but failed to ripen, i knew at the time i had sown to late.

Looking for one variety of super hot , the black naga ( thanks scarlet) from last season was soo tasty ( though darned hot lol) that im thinking about trying that again, lost the one i was trying to overwinter and i may just leave it at that for this year.

OOPS forgot about my jalapenos for pickling
and i forgot about these, Red Basque Chilli ( real seeds)
