    Mitzi's 2019 - Grow, grow, grow your Bhut

    Mitzi, I am loving what you're achieving.    Your Gardener is a gem, I wouldn't doubt. Don't worry that he's trying to steal your ceramic pots for one of his chums. I'm sure he'll be compensating you.   "I'm just taking your greenhouse. I'm know you won't mind. Mitzi, down the road need's it...

    pepper with protected name (POD) (PGI) (AOC)

    Tap De Corti is a paprika pepper in Mallorca that's specific for a local sausage called Sobrassada. I think the pepper or the sausage or both may be protected in some way.

    ChilliJez 2017

    Well I finally plucked up the courage to start a growlog. I'm in the UK, a few miles south of Manchester, roughly the same latitude (so light levels) as Edmonton, Alberta. I've been a forum member here for a few years now but lurking, rather in awe of what folks achieve.   Here goes; I have 3...

    Hot Pepper Grower in the UK

    Hi and welcome!   There's a few of us Brits here. You aren't alone.   1st question. Are you aware that chillies are perennials? If you give them the right conditions over winter they will probably produce more and earlier in their second year. Hang onto that Purple Cayenne and anything else that...

    Thank you Devv! Thank you Dennis!   Well...It's probably 4 years since I've grown Lemon Drop and it feels like that old friend I should have contacted so many times.

    Planning for 2017 - advice needed please

      Mitzi, I wouldn't dissuade you from growing anything. Numex Twilight and Medusa were the first 2 chilli plants I bought, many years ago and I loved the look and I could include them in food. It's more an observation that you'll have lots of pods and by the end of the season you'll like the...

    First bonsai chile attempt

    How's the plant going? Is it thriving? It looks like a good, gnarly stem to build your project. What are the other plants you're bonsaiing?   I don't know if you know Fatalii's guide to bonchi? ( bonsai chillies) http://www.fatalii.net/bonsai_chiles_bonchi There's a lot of useful stuff.   If...

    Planning for 2017 - advice needed please

    Hi Mitzi   I've been meaning to reply for some time! Doh! I think your list is good, and the timings should be about right. I'm not keen on the Numex Twilight for eating personally. If you discard the seeds there's not much left. It looks pretty and I imagine you'll have plenty for eating from...
