6 Peter Pepper
8 Jalapeno
10 Pretty in Purple
6 Basket of Fire
8 Naga Morich
21 Little Elf
2 unknown Pakistani

and I still have pots of

Filus Blue, Tri Colour Varigated, Mem Jolokia and Hot Patio Sizzle to do.

I know it ~~seems~~ is quite a lot but I'm hoping some of them will be ready for the Plant Sale in May.

My son has asked me to sow the hottest chilli in the world for his friend, so have got seeds comiong for Scorpion which is the new one that is currently the hottest, I laso have the old hottest coming too, I think it was nicknmaed Ghost.

I do have four greenhouses so I should be ok for space! We will also have the big lottery-grant greenhouse if I need more room.

I'll probably keep about three of each and try to sell the rest.

Nothing like growing the whole range of colours on each variety.. ;D some list.. ;D

Mike, you have the most severe form of chilli OCD that I have ever come across. I feel almost normal now.

Are you keeping all the plants yourself?

mike77 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 12, 2012, 22:57:03 »

I'm aiming to keep most of the 7 pots and will be selling about 200 hopefully! Will probably end up with about 200 for myself ;D

Squash64 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 13, 2012, 05:10:55 »

You are keeping 200? :o
Stupid question, but what do you do with all the chillies you produce?

I think the beauty with chillis is they are so versatile! I freeze/dry/powder them or pickle them.
Making sauces is high on my agenda this year to sell to friends etc (to fund my habit ;)).
Love eating them as well obviously! Also a firm believer that they are good for you! My partner and I don't get colds anymore for a start!.
Love supplying mates with pods and opening their eyes to different types that they wouldn't find in the supermarkets as well.
Last but not least they are such beautiful plants to look at especially when all the pods are changing colour

Not quite time to send the men in white coats but I'm not far off ;D
