Gone Mad on CHILLI's

I just started off some Chilli seeds last week , they are only tiny little plants just now , I started 10 seeds hoping to at least get a couple ....all 10 have come through lol just hope I can find homes for them , looking forward to following your progress,

We are about to sow some seed of a very dwarf variety called "Prairie Fire". Have you heard of this one? Best of Luck to you both with yours.

Good luck Wee, let me know how they go for you.

Hi David I havent heard of Prairie Fire. Let me know how they go matey.

The Varieties I have planted so far.

1. Slim Hot Cayenne
2. Purple Tiger
3. Habanero
4. Red Scotch Bonnet
5. Lilac Cayenne
6. Paprika
7. Thai Mild
8. Zimbabwe Bird
9. Long Sweet Yellow
10. Jalapeno
11. Fire Cracker
12. Serrano

No 10 , Jalapeno , are these the ones you get filled with cheese in the Mexican Takeaways ? I love them .

Hi, I have also successfully germinated some chilis, Peter sent me the seeds. They are capsicum frutescens.

Will do. Can recognise most of your varieties. Apparently, our dwarf "Praire Fire" grow to a height of only 10 inches high but with a broader spread. We have a long wait to find out here, however.

Im glad I did this blog, I have found some chilli lovers LOL!!!

Andrea , I think they do stuff them. They are also used in Subway Sanwiches.

David , I like the sound of this one. Wouldnt it look great in a hanging basket ! Cant wait to see pics when they are ready guys.. :-)
Stinking hot the last few days (Summer here) so been doing alot of hand watering.

What a gr8 idea michelle. I hadn't thought of planting mine in hanging baskets, altho i do so with tumbling cherry toms. I just wonder, however, whether the chillies would do well in a Scottish summer in this way. Anyway, I have enough seed to try a few in baskets. Many thanx for giving me the idea.

Beauty mate !! Cant wait to see how it grows Dave.

Adding another chilli ....To my garden today...
