Hi It would seem that the Zimbabwe bird chilli really likes being pampered on my kitchen window sill 😁 😎 They are growing like beast's ! I can't imagine how well they would do in the greenhouse even more overhead direct light ! But simply no room 😗 And p,an is to grow it as a bonus variety...

Hi Guy's Last season I grew a Ring of fire in 5 litre Kratky set up with fantastic results 🙂 This season I decided to grow one in a slightly bigger kratky set up just to see what happened 🤔 I always pick my Ring of fire green and use them like Indian green chillies (Jwala) in curries and...

Hi I've been looking around BBM to grow........... 🤔 However i love Naga flavour and heat 😋 grew Douglah last season loved the heat and dripping oil's 🤪 but not flavour/aftertaste when I cooked into a dish I'd normally use a Dorset Naga 😕 This makes me think I might enjoy the BRM more 🤔 How...

Hi Guy's As usual I've got far too many chilli plants in my greenhouse 🫣 which causes all sorts of problems will I ever learn :banghead:🤔 Well yes 😁 I have 😎 Last few year's I've been doing different chilli trials (5 litre or 10 litre pots) multiple Scotch Bonnets one year, next year...

Hi from Sunny Scotland 😉🤣 Last year I did a capsicum pubescens trial outside in my garden idea being to find a variety that would ripen outside here in Scotland......... Only one of the 6 or 7 varieties I tried with succeeded the Rocoto long from seaspring seeds (Dorset Naga people) it's very...

Hi Guy's It appears that 2024 may have been a particularly bad year for me here in Scotland to do my superhot trial 🤔 😭 🤣 Poor light levels and temperatures across large parts of Europe seem to have resulted in lots of foliage and tiny round smooth dark green pods and as Marc said seedless...

Hi I selected 4 of my Zimbabwe bird seedlings pricked them out into wee pots and they currently live on my kitchen window. I plan to give 3 of them away to interested friends and keep the 4th myself apparently they are ment to over well 🤔 we shall see 🙂 Looking strong and healthy 😎 I'm...

Hi Guy's/Marc Pretty much every chinense variety this season so far has been producing very small and smooth pod's ! This is a 7 Pot Barrackpore but it could any other of my chinense............. I've recently seen the same thing as Marc later more recent pod's seem to be of normal...

Hi Guy's It would seem 2024 is proving a terrible year certainly in northern Europe for chilli growers, many I've spoken to have said poor weather this year has put them way behind. I believe chillichump and others have made YouTube videos on the subject. The poor weather seems to have...

Hi Guy's I'm sure like me it's heart breaking to have to throw out your chilli plant's at the end of the season as the dark winter night's come. You will have noticed some of your chilli plants have remarkable thick gnarly "trunks" and im sure the idea of Bonchi has entered your head from...

Hi Guy's 8th June this year I pruned a rather inconvenient side branch from my 7 Pot Primo, and decided to try to root the cutting along with a Death spiral cutting. Simply blacked out jam jar 1 1/2" of tape water changed every few day's...................nothing ! However leaves looked...

Hi Here are my wee Babies............ 😁 so far 5 of the 6 sown have germinated A long way to go probably probably only keep the 3 biggest. Two friends want one to try on there kitchen window so I can get feed back on them :thumbsup: I'm toying with keeping mine in soil or kratky...

Hi Guy's I sowed these Yellow Fever seeds first germinated after 11 day's on the window sill in the kitchen....that was 4th June too late to fruit here in the UK but I thought I'd try and "over winter" the biggest strongest of these very late sown plants. I started off with half a dozen or...

Hi Guy's I wasn't too sure where to post this one......so many questions......😵‍💫 Not really expecting my questions to be answered but possibly if those how have researched this subject could point me in the direction of a good website ? You tube video ? Article ? I'd be most grateful. As...

Yes ! The big yellow pod's I grew last year from Scotch brains yellow seeds I got from a UK website I grew a single plant from these f5 seeds and they are the resulting fruit, good size very hot but very smooth not what I was expecting and not "brainy" like the websites photo ! But excellent...
