I'm growing wenks yellow hots, pretty in purple and glebe kirshen.Wishing now that I'd sown loads more.....

[Deb P]

I've been a bit restrained (for me) this year, I'm sticking to my tried and tested favourites, Cayenne Red, Ring of Fire and Demon Red. Unless I see something I fancy at the plant sale that is...... ::) ;D

[gaz2000]

i have no idea which variety mine are,ive taken the seeds out of a bag of parrot food from work  :)

Ohhhh...lovely... ;D Have you grown those Tepin chillies? ..or do you know any suppliers little closer to home..? I do like a bit of warmth with my food ;D

Gaz...you must like suprises...if you still have any of the seeds from same batch..have a little chew of the seed...if any heat..well..chillies ::)
But my bet is that they would have used pepper seeds.

I've got seedlings 30-45cm high growing and making up about 30 varieties that I'm taking through our winter in the hope of having mature plants in Spring. Just posted a photo of some Rocoto juane seedlings to my Gallery.

Ring of fire is our 'standard' chilli - decent kick, but not horrific, and good yield. We are also growing praire fire, cheyenne, hot pepper 'purple' , hot 'patio sizzle &''chenzo'.

We have really good down the varieties this year to try and keep the greenhouse under control, but I have still potted up about 30 odd plants (argh).

what's a Rocoto juane, no-lottie? ah, just saw - you're in Australia  :D

[no-lottie]

Juane means Orange, so it's an orange Rocoto.

Yes, stuck here in Australia Bugloss, but what am I to do.  ;D

[Bugloss2009]

ah thanks, Google says I can call my one Rocoto canario, sounds posh  ;D

Scotch Bonnet saved from one bought in Asda.  None of the seeds I had already bought germinated so I sowed the whole lot from this one, and every single one came up  :o
I've potted on about 60 of them, good thing we have our Plant Sale coming up soon!

Various Bangladeshi ones grown from seeds and chillies they've given me.
