Thanks for the comments everyone.   I was always intending to buy a Jamaican Hot Chocolate but the seeds were out of stock each time I tried. They do look like Jamaican Hot Chocolates. Can anyone describe the taste? I checked pepperlover.com and I couldn't find them being sold there.   I'm about...

They are definitely not Chocolate Habaneros, which are my favourite chillies. Choc habs have a pungent taste like a Trinidad Scorpion Moruga blend. These chocolate Bih Jolokias have a far more subtle taste.   Ironically I tried growing some more choc habs this year, only one plant survived and...

  Same here. I grew Fatalii and Devil's Tongue together after hearing so much about Fatalii. I wasn't that fussed about them but I did really enjoy the Devil's Tongue which looked exactly the same. The plant didn't produce as many fruit though as Fatalii.

I bought some Bih Jolokia seeds along with loads of others from pepperlover.com (excellent service by the way!).   I selected three seedlings and grew them into proper plants. Two of them produced red fruit as expected, the third produced brown / chocolate coloured fruit. They looked exactly the...

My first attempt at making a sauce from a harvest was great. I used a whole selection of chillies varying up to Habanero strength, blended it with onions, rice vinegar, roasted garlic and raw garlic. I put it on my cheese and ham sandwiches and used it like a chutney.   I then decided to grow...

I have some Pimenta de Neyde growing. I planted the seeds last November I think. I haven't put them outside yet, except during the day. I watched a video on youtube once which gave me the impression that they grew really big and gave out very few fruit but mine have been relatively bushy and...

Thanks for this. I will be planting mustard habanero seeds come January 1st. I just need to pick them up from my parent's place first, I tried superhots this year and my husband and I have decided that we prefer fruit that is less hot because then we can throw more into the dinner and it gives a...

Welcome! (Moved to Germany from Crieff in Perthshire). I've lived in Edinburgh before. It's a nice city.

Thanks! I haven't eaten one yet. I'm waiting for them to ripen.It's a little chilly outside now which I think may be delaying them ripening. I will be bringing them in sometime soon. I'm really curious as to how hot they will be.   I bought a thousand little sealable plastic bags from ebay and...

Welcome! (From an expat from Britain)

I planted some white habanero seeds and although some came up only one survived. It then grew into this small stunted, twisted chilli plant, twisted I think because of a problem with aphids. It was about 30 cm tall and I had two small fruit growing on it. This was early spring this year so I...

Dulac, it's interesting what you say about Bhut Jolokias being terrible producers (and also Pimenta da Neydes but I have only just planted those seeds)   I have three plants at work by a large windowsill, although they only get direct sun from 4pm onwards when I need to put the blinds down for a...

Welcome! We moved from Scotland to Germany two years and two days ago.   Is this the same curry house that the council threatened to remove their license if they had another contest because too many people were being hospitalised?   I did a quick google and the place does come up in news...

Hammerfall, I am growing some Fatalli as well and am just waiting for them to ripen. I also have some Devil's tongue to compare them to. I'm really looking forward to trying them.

    Thanks! I've found the post by googling "peach habanero site:thehotpepper.com"   http://thehotpepper.com/topic/27646-my-peach-habaneros-have-no-heat/   Some of those Habaneros look slightly darker, but some have exactly the same colour as my ones. The same shape as well. I bought the seeds...

I had about 10 seeds and only 1 came up. It flowered profusely and gave me lots of fruit which I was really happy about, although I was kind of puzzled about the colour. It looked more peach than Lemon to me although the ones pictured are a little paler than others. It's a very pretty colour but...

I've just cut off my first Trinidad Scorpion Butch T and will be having a small part of the placenta and the top for dinner tonight. I've put the two main halves in the freezer for the moment. It took ages to start turning red and it took just as long for the colour to extend to the tip of the...

I have ordered these as well from pepperlover.com and they are currently being shipped. It's the first time I have ordered from America. All my other seeds have been sent to my parent's address in Britain and I'm still waiting for them to forward them. I'm going for small productive superhots so...

That Trinidad Scorpion looks exactly like the first Trinidad Scorpion Butch T that fruited this year and is now almost completely red (the tip being the last to turn). Saying that, the only other fruit on the same plant looks nothing like that and the 10 fruit on the plant at work all look like...

Hi Tay,   I moved to Germany from Crieff in Perthshire. I've lived around Stirling in the past when I went to University there (my last job was at the university when I was living in Crieff). The first time I tried growing chillies it was in Scotland and it ended up being a bumper crop of...
