How many do you keep for yourself?

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.

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? 
Title: Re: I've got chilli OCD
Post by: mike77 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

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
