I just get my seeds from inside a chilli I have bought in the supermarket to use in the kitchen

Get several plants which produce excellent crops.

Why waste money on packets of seeds?

They can't spam your inbox so they've registered and started spamming the forum.

Heck, if anyone here wants to buy my 8 inch tall Fatali chilli plants for £9.95 each including P & P I'll happily forgo having my own chillis this year. I also have various tomato plants available for £29.95 or £14.95 as seedlings. In fact I've got a whole table full of well advanced plants and I'll do you the whole lot for a mere £525 including the table.

That was the problem I had with Whatshername a while back. It wasn't so much that she was scrounging seed then selling it, if she was. It was that she was eternally on the scrounge while offering nothing in return, and endlessly spamming thread after thread. This is nothing on that level, but it is blatant advertising.

firstly these are plants not seeds and i've never seen a peach habanero or a dorset naga in the any shop let alone in tesco.
asked for advertising, i apologise and didn't know it was banned.
it won't happen again.
Please inform the moderator.
The chairs you can keep!

If you think about it it would be a very boring forum if it was flooded with adds.

You couldn't eat hot chillies working in A&E Debs, you'd knock out the patients you are trying to revive  ::)

That's because this thread is about chilies. Got to an onion thread and all the ads will be about onions. A potatoe thread,  potatoes.

In the sweetcorn thread someone mentions  protecting them with netting... A google ad for scaffold netting. Clever the way google does that isn't it?

I doubt many people would have notice that though, they tend  read the posts and not look at the adverts.

Ah I see!!!!
That google's to clever for its own good.
It reminds me of that classic film "Teminator" where a computer gets so clever it takes over the WORLD!!!!! ;D

Do people really advertise potatoes? In all my years as a Chef I've never seen a potato Adverts, Chips and thier variants but never a good old sack 'o' Spuds. :o
"Don't be a puff, eat Maris Piper" type of thing.

I remember at one time the British Potato Council (or whatever it might have been called) had TV ads for the humble potato.

They hardly need to be advertised, they're with every meal anyway.
A Hash Brown even found it's way onto my Full English Breakfast the other day!
Not sight nor sound of any Black Pudding though.
Was this when Rice was first imported from the east  and the Government thought we may all give up on Spuds, after all how could a Billion Chinese people be wrong.  ;D
I've seen them on M&S adds but they're not just normal potatoes, they're Gold plated, de-caffinated, almost fat free potatoes ;)
Title: Re: Chilli Plants
Post by: bupster on April 18, 2008, 16:55:59
Were they gold plated hand picked potatoes? Those ads drive me mad, I invariably end up shouting "what do you think, they pick the normal ones with their feet?" at the telly. The neighbours give me odd looks.

Post by: Sheffield Chillies on April 18, 2008, 17:17:17
my neighbours look at me funny too though alas not for that reason.
i put a Billboard no the side of thier house saying "sheffield chillies, Get em' ere!" :)

Thanks for the advice about my site that shall'nt be named.
I got an email giving me some good thinking.
I've since made several to changes making it a lot less colour and therefore making my produce the thing one looks at during a visit there.
Again thanks for the advice fellow A4Aer!

Hello. We were absolutely delighted when we spotted packs of Dorset Naga Chillies on Tesco shelves the other day.

However something is terribly wrong. They just don't have any heat! My husband and I love hot chillies and grow our own chillies in the greenhouse each year. It is always a challenge to grow really nice hot ones and we've so been looking forward to cooking with (and munching on) Dorset Nagas. We can't seem to manage to grow that variety.

The packet of Dorset Naga we have just used really doesn't have any heat (nor at the moment do Tesco's Scotch Bonnet chillies). In fact to be honest the little green birdseyes have more heat than the Nagas they are selling. I just don't understand how they can sell chillies under the name of Dorset Nagas when they are clearly not very hot.

What do you think is going on? Are others finding them rather lame or is it just me?
