Some of you are no doubt aware, but for those of you who aren't, chilli plants are in fact quite long lived*, and even in the UK they can be overwintered (with a bit of care), and can go on to give years of sterling service. In fact, some varieties actually crop more heavily in the second years and beyond. There's a wee article about it here that may be of interest: http://www.chilefoundry.co.uk/2011/10/12/matt-simpson%E2%80%99s-guide-to-over-wintering-chillies-repost/ *Some varieties more so than others...
Naga Jolokia, seven seeds for four quid!!! Shocking
My Monday beer drinking mate (fellow home brewer and gardener) is here for a few jars. He tells me he bought a pack of dehydrated Kashmiri Chillies from the Indian Supermarket in Brisbane - the long medium-hot ones - and he sowed a few of the seeds. They came up like the clappers and he's looking forward to them. I think someone here was looking for the Kashmiri? They were fully imported of course, not local. Obviously not irradiated or nuked whatever.
Hows everyones chilli growing going then?Mine are just producing their first true leaves, and seem to be going well.Martin
