First of all, thanks Dan for this sub forum, a great idea especially for the chilli enthusiasts on the site!

Hi all! as you know I'm a chilli nut! I'm growing 110 varieties and expanding next year!  ::) so I'll be glued to this forum and trying to help out on any way.

I've been busy this season getting my website up and running www.allchillies.com and will be offering prizes later on in the year when the site is trading.

Up the chillies!!  ;D

How exciting for you Biscombe.Hope all goes well. :)

[elvis2003]

good luck biscombe!

Hey thank you Dan! ;D

Fantastic Biscombe that you are hosting this part. I dont grow many and this years crop was miserable. I cant wait to learn from yours and others expertise ;D

[saddad]

I'm sure you are familiar with one called imaginatively "Hot Stuff" can't remember where I got the seed, probably a wyevale bargain bin, but I have a marvellous crop of bright yellow chillies... will they go red or is that it?
:-\

[Biscombe]

Not heard of that one Saddad! but I find that the mellow yellow colored chillies do turn light red eventually and the vivid bright yellows stay like that

The website is looking great already! Didn't know about camomile tea for preventing damping off- thanks for that tip and good luck with your new enterprise!

[Biscombe]

Thanks all! I'm really excited too! slow going seed collecting though!

[Rhubarb Thrasher]

that's a really good website. I'm looking forward to next year already

just a suggestion - might it be a good idea to also have them listed by hotness as well as alphabetically? It's the kind of thing chilliholics are interested in

[Biscombe]

Thats a great idea thanks Rhubarb! good to get feedback  ;D

[asbean]

Well done with the website - it looks great  :) :) :)  My son taters (who doesn't come on the forum much) is the chilli person in our family, the hotter the better.

Are you going to sell the sauces too? 

[Biscombe]

Thanks  :D I'm only selling the sauces locally, the postage cost would be too high!

[debster]

ooh hello Biscombe one of the only things that have been prolific for me this year have been chillis some of which you sent me the seeds  of even managed to make hubbies eyes water too good luck with this

[Biscombe]

Great! do you remember the variety?

[caroline7758]

Shame you're not quite up & running yet- Hugh FW had an article on Chillis in this weekend's Guardian magazine and had links to several online sites.

[cornykev]

Hi Bis and good luck, I tried growing some this year but I left them outside in the hot spell and the snails chomped them to bits and they never recovered, are there chillis you can grow all year round on your windowseal.  ;D ;D ;D

[Biscombe]

Thanks! a great little chilli with will look really cute on the windowsill would be demon red which has a great flavor and has tiny leaves and pods. Prarie fire would also be good bigger than demon red but would still be great!

Hi Biscombe,
Did you have any luck with the chilli seed I brought back from Thailand for you?mine were terrible, too cold and seed put in too late I think, plants six inches high with tiny chilli's on them. should be ok next year as we are staying at home.
