Better Jalapeno's and chillies for Chicken Jalfrezi
« on: July 01, 2010, 21:01:58 »
Hi All,

I've been growing chillies for a few years now with varying success.  But one thing I would like to crack.

I absolutely love green Jalapeno's. I buy jars and jars of the pickled or brined ones.

But, I've tried growing them 3 years running now and at best I may get one, plant, produce once chilli.  But rather than the "thick walled" chillies you get in the jars, they are usually thin walled.

So firstly, why would the walls not thicken?

Secondly, if Jalapeno is a bit of a bugger to grow.  Can you recommend a similar tasting, strength and wall  thickness which grows easily?  I have a poly greenhouse and have heated propogators to start them earlier but they never quite work out.

Also what would you consider the best chilli to use in curries like Chicken Jalfrezi, where you add fresh sliced chillies at the last moment.
