Title: Chilli Seeds
Post by: caseylee on February 22, 2008, 13:59:04
Hello there
I love chillies and could love to grow them, I was wondering if anyone had any different types of chillies that unusual, like the rainbow coloured ones, I would be happy to swap for something else.
Thank you
Linda

Got mine from Woolies last year.

I kept one in isolation (in a window at work) and that's the one that I've collected seed from.

And they're on sale right now - mine was reduced to £1.75!

If you look after them, they'll overwinter indoors too.

Caseylee, give us a clue  ;)

Ren1, I already have Tropical Heat...phew! :P :-[ Nasty little b###ers they are!

Riffster, got it.

OK, that's a few more sent (will be tomorrow's post) but I've had to be a bit skingy...yesterday I was sending 2 chillies but I don't have enough left to keep that up.

So 1 only for today's recipients. Should still be 20 or so seeds in each, hope that's ok.

Hi jessands

can send you some seeds - 
I've got two varieties - 'Pretty in purple'  and 'Iranian round'
not grown either of those before but the packet says very hot!

just pm me your address if interested  :)
Title: Re: Chilli Seeds
Post by: floraldi on February 27, 2008, 18:54:07
I would also like some too please, whatever you can spare.  I'm trying different hot chillies for my son who loves them. I have new packets of seeds of cabbage, carrots, mint and something else that another kind swopper sent to me if you would like any of those. I don't have an allotment and therefore can't use them.

Florald

Pm your address - don't have many tropical heat, meant to say sees not chilis on earlier post.  I have a few others I can send of varying heat.  Could I have a few mint seeds in return?

Many thanks RobinOfTheHood,

I got the seeds yesterday - I'm halfing them and sending some on.

Made a slight error,   popped half the skin of the dry chilli in my mouth without the mandatory cube of cheese.

It was only a little bit after all. - Still won't forget the cheese next time. - phew

Thx.  Riff...

I don't come in the swap shop very often, it looks like some frantic swapping has been going on.
If anybody else wants some bolivian rainbow, pm me your address.

I must sow some myself, as I have been concentrating on other chillies and forgot to plant them. ::)
Title: Re: Chilli Seeds
Post by: Fork on April 12, 2008, 20:22:11
Anyone started growing their Bolivian Rainbow chilli seeds yet?

If so do they start off looking like beetroot?.

If not,Ive got my seeds mixed up somewhere.... ;D
Title: Re: Chilli Seeds
Post by: debster on April 13, 2008, 14:53:32
mine were purple coloured when they came through Fork
Title: Re: Chilli Seeds
Post by: Fork on April 14, 2008, 16:21:17
Cheers for that Debster  ;D

I was beginning to think something was amiss.......still looks awfully like beetroot though at the moment.

Anyone else started there Bolivian Rainbow seeds of yet?

But what colour are they please?

Mine are looking more and more like beetroot every day ......Ive obviously boobed somewhere.Mind you,Debs siad hers started off looking purple so I might yet be ok.

I have some chitting on some damp tissue paper in a plastic bag on the window sill so i will try again.

Title: Re: Chilli Seeds
Post by: RobinOfTheHood on April 17, 2008, 02:27:02
Lots of green ones in my seed tray.

Hope they haven't mutated in transit!    :-[

They do seem to need warmth and a lot of light to grow. Mine were sown early March and are about 4" high now.
Title: Re: Chilli Seeds
Post by: Fork on April 17, 2008, 15:30:44
I have started  again....those that I thought were chillies are definately beetroot  ;D
