Topic: Chilli growing time!

[haldi]

My chillis have been very poor, but they were borderline dead when I got back off my hols

what a shame
Make next year the best ever!
I want to try some of these giant chillie plants

[Madrasandy]

First year of really trying, I have bought plants before, but this year from seed. To be fair we havent had enough sunshine in Hull, who says its never dull in Hull

I have many different varieties planted, just to see what would happen.

The only plants from which I've actually got fruit are Apaches.  Some of the other plants are otherwise much more developed, they've even been in flower, just no chillies.

Going to try and overwinter some and start the survivors early next season under grow lights.

35 lovely cayenne peppers freshly picked approximately 23.00 gmt 07.11.14.

most of them are about 3 inches long - that's 75mm to you metric people.

unusual for this time of the year for plants still to be producing fruit methinks...

still have loads more flowers on plant. picked these off to give it more energy..

Now they'd not be wasted in a good vindaloo Mr M

Strange weather this year. I have a cayenne that just started reflowering. I brought it inside about a month ago.

Sadly, I lost my last chillie plant last winter - gave me 5 good years though - don't know if that is normal or not.
It was one of  5 different chillie plants I bought off a newspaper offer (Telegraph) - but the only one that survived after the 1st year.  My meddling wife mixed up the labels when I was re-potting them, so I don't know the name of my last survivor - it gave me small size 10mm to 20mm length red chilles - which have a nice little kick to them.

Did anyone else buy this 5 plant set from the newspaper offer @ 5 / 6 years ago and know the names of the chilli plants?  Maybe I could idnetify what I have from that if anyone still has the details?

Mainly, i oven dried them at 60 deg C for 6 hours - but some I froze.

My thoughts are I would like to try and grow my survivor chillie from the frozen seed I have .

Anyone have any ideas on whether this would be successful?

Why not buy some seeds from the" net "and choose the variety you want or garden centre
That way you know what you got
 Avoid the F1s So as you can save seeds
I have some Tree chilli plants 25 years and still going providing me with bucket loads  ;D

Just be careful where you get them from, a lot of them are not what they say they are, especially on ebay for the superhots - naga, reaper, scorpion etc
