Chillies - growing and overwintering 2017

[mic]

Hi all

PITA not being able to post pics from my phone

but you can, assuming you have a modern mobile. go to photobucket.com and register an account. take a picture and by either using the photobucket app or website on your phone, upload your photo. when its uploaded there is an 'i' button, which when pressed will give you a line of code to copy which you paste into any website. simples

its what i use (see above post with pictures)

cheers

Photobucket won't work any more... They've decided to screw everyone by only allowing "premium" users to host images. What's the price for one of these premium accounts you might ask? $400 a year. Yes, that's not a typo!

^^^Think that should be in the rant thread!

Mine still works fine and I haven't paid a penny

Plus five more that survived the great feline related accident. Could be duplicates from the list above, or additional varieties that I didn't re-sow. Looking forward to trying to identify which ones they are.
1: Probably Bulgarian Carrot
2-5: Chinense types, tbc

[Hubbard]

Reapers come out. Imagined they would grow in a more rounded shape but hey it's all good

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that is not a Reaper it is an annuum of some kind where as the reaper is a Chinense, still a nice looking plant though.

[Mitzi]

Where did you get your Reapers? I really hope I'm wrong, but looking at this picture and the one from your previous post, they look more like annuums than chinenses. Hopefully for you I have no idea what I'm talking about and they will be perfect Reapers!

I hate to say I told you so but...

I'm afraid these are "ebay Reapers". Where did you get the seeds, mic?

[Mitzi]

SP your grow looks superb, brilliant to have got so many pods already!

My plants definitely sulk when I pot them up, I think it's watering with cold water out of the tap. I'll definitely have to try that tip of watering first, then leaving it to warm up before planting.

[burnie]

Do you harvest chillies when red, or do you harvest at different stages like sweet peppers(I'm talking Cayennes here).

[Small pumpkin]

You can harvest your cayenne when they are green, but they are better if left to go red. By mid October I'm usually picking green ones because I know there's very little chance of ripening in our location, I'm guessing you will be the same burnie.

[burnie]

Patience then, not my strong point lol.

No slight on the individual, but if that's her picture, she only looks a youngster and they say she's spent her "whole life doing......", which isn't very long when they are barely out of their teens, always makes me smile when this often said these days. Usually kids on reality singing shows saying they've waited their "whole life" and they then announce that they're 16 years old.

Beca's plants and growing setup are absolutely phenomenal!! Literally amazing.
I've had seeds from her too.

Dan's sauces and products are also something out of this world! He knows a thing or two about chillies and is a top bloke! Very generous, nice guy!

They know their onions (well, chillies)

I'm sure there's loads everyone could learn from them.

Hi cptcrackoff long time no see ( or I've not been paying attention )

I'm really looking forward to meeting and learning from both of them on the chilli experience day.
