Your favourite chili variety and why? My favourite is Hot Lemon! Easy to grow, great produce and wonderful taste. Medium to hot. And it's beautiful too!

Makes me wanna plant all of those, sounds like great varieties. I've always wanted to plant wild chilis too. And nice pic Fade. Mouth watering... =) I would be happy if you also answered on my blog. Cheers and good night! (It's late in Sweden)...

When do you start giving them fertilizer? I'm thinking mine are too small yet, but once in final pot I might add some. I'm growing in normal soil, no high tech stuff here. =) I never actually used fertilizing on my chili plants, so any tips are welcome.

I only trim overwintered plants =)

My notes on some of the most common species: Capsicum Annuum - Fairly easy to grow, but of course it differs a lot from variety to variety. Varieties: Bell peppers, Cayenne, Chiltepin. I love the black and purple varieties such as Peruvian Purple and Checkoslovakian Black. Capsicum Baccatum...

I know the feeling, when I see pods it's difficult to stay away. :rolleyes: I did that in Bali, saw some dry pods on an old plant at a diving centre, I couldn't resist. Now I have this lovely plant at home as a result of that: It's called Liberty after the diving site we were on.

Besides being sun tanned it differs with varieties, as some of you already mentioned. My experience is: most annuum - green seedling stems some annuum like czeckoslovakian black or peruvian purple have purple stems. baccatum - slightly purple stems but mostly green Sun tan is more dotted as...
