It's been suggested that I post the information here....so I have:)

I found this site:

http://www.chileseeds.co.uk/chili_pepper_seed_collections.htm

and am contemplating the hot collection. Am I nuts?

(Obviously, I'll only be putting these chillis in the food of people I dislike intensely!!!).....or perhaps I should plant them in my front garden within easy reach of the local thugs to try? Wink

I've never grown chillis before. Am I being too ambitious? Any guidance and pointers welcome!

Would anyone be interested in dividing the cost of any of these packages with me?

Yes - you are NUTS!! And 2 good plants will last the Mr/Mrs Average a year or two..

Just settle for the ones that only impair your speech!!

I shall be shouted down on this, but there is nothing clever in losing all your marbles.

My husband's mental when it comes to chillies. He likes eating them when they almost take the skin away from his mouth. Heaven knows what they must do to the insides of his stomach!! He's even been known to sit and munch on them raw :o
I'm the complete opposite, I don't go anywhere near spicy food. Makes him laugh when I ask why on earth people enjoy eating food that makes their mouth burn? I think I'm brave eating Korma!

Stomach? And beyond, m'Dear!!

Yes - we've all done it. In India, we used to chop green chillies over everything - including Breakfast!! (At 23). But what does it add to the lovingly cooked dish which already has 15 spices in it that will never be appreciated??
