The Chilli thread...

[rich83]

So... i know theres a few of us on here that are 'growing' at the moment. Lets see what youve got  

Here are some of mine.

These are Cayenne Chillis... so should be hot but not stoooopid hot.





And this is where we are now... just starting to bud flowers.





Bhut Jolokia.... stupid hot  



This is where they are now, they are reported to be quite slow growing (I should have them inside really)




Got some Scotch Bonnets too, but no upto date pics yet.

These are Cayenne Chillis...

So they're overweight, thirsty and shift like a train?    



Looks a good setup Rich. I'm always someone who likes to push their heat tolerances in balti houses but enjoy it while doing so. Bet those will pack a good punch  

P.s. tried a friends phaal curry last Friday night at a local franchised Balti restaurant and they'd certainly given him a challenge, plenty of Jolokias in that we were told. To be avoided unless expected

Looking good Rich, just got the one plant myself, need to get a greenhouse set up for next year.   

I'd be up for a visit to the chilli fest

We go there every year, well worth the entery fee. Try the Ghilli and Garlic ice cream. :)

I've been going for many years now. Friday is usually the quietest.

Have to keep note of this thread, had some plants last year, but ended up getting rid as i had the porch full of flies.

Only have one small plant this year, flowers just starting to bud.

Anyone feed there's? Just been using tomato feed before.

I've tried to grow them a few times and failed, either getting infested with unshiftable bugs or not really giving decent yield.

Sounds like this could be a hot topic...

When's best to plant chilli seeds?

[rich83]

Well fingers crossed that I get some chillies. Im also growing loads of other veg.  Ironically I don't like veg. :-/

[Hedge]

Yes use tomato feed. Little and often.

I have just received my seeds today. Got everything to start them or at least I thought I had, forgot the soil 

[rich83]

Seeding compost to start them off matey.

My porch makes a great greenhouse, gets so warm each day until late evening.

Got plenty of flower buds on my plant and a couple have opened.
