That looks great Mike!  My Dorset Naga's (thanks to Digeroo's seed swap) are still growing very slowly indeed but are looking good..  When did you start yours?

Wow looks fantastic, chilli envy going on here
Mine are stumpy little things compared!

I am shielding my delicate little seedling from your picture Mike as i do not want them to get a comlex, i am trying to say to them that yes two leaves are good, but it would be nice if they attempt more

not that i am jealous or anything

I sowed mine in a heated propagator last Sat. None are showing yet.

We are going for a few tried and tested favourites and some new varieties. Praire Fire and Ring O Fire have always done well for us and produced a good crop for general use. Hot pepper 'purple' is such a pretty plant that it is on the list again. These tiny dark purple peppers have a real kick, but the folliage is a nice deep colour. Hot 'patio sizzle' were on offer at Wilkos and they look very similar to praire fire so they have promise. In addition, we are trying 'chenzo' and 'cheyenne' which caught my eye when searching online.

It was sown on the 6th November in a heated prop no artificial light although I wish I had as a few plants have got spindly (friars hat mainly) the naga just grew steadily till about feb time and since then it's started filling out nicely!! Will keep you updated with it's progress

Hi, I'm new to this website. 

Hi and welcome.

I will have a go with a saved shop chilli, a "de Cayenne" and a sweet pepper and see what happens.

Barkie - If you want to save seeds from chillies/peppers you will have to isolate the plants from each other because they are very promiscuous! Plants from saved seeds will only come true if they haven't been cross-pollinated, though sometimes you can end up with something really interesting.

Hi Tricia,
