2023 grow has started!

I just got back from India, so I’m starting a week or two later than normal.

Pictured are Surti Marcha or Surat Chili, supposedly the hottest chili used in Gujarat. I’m excited to try and grow some. As they are very similar to Thai chillies, most people wouldn’t be as excited as me to grow them, especially the super-hot only people. I’m very excited though!

Chilli Pakora (and other types of pakora) with a side of fried chillies. Also a chili plant of some kind growing in the landscaping next to the Pakora stand. Surat, Gujarat, India.

Sounds like you had a nice trip IJ. The food looks delicious.

Not much out there on the Surti Marcha chili. Good looking pepper.

Best of luck with your 2023 grow!

Yeah, not much at all! I don't even know if they grow upwards or downwards. They certainly did have some good heat and pungent flavor though. They are sold green, but I did manage to find some partially ripened, so fingers crossed that the seeds were mature.

Welcome back! Glad to see you getting
geared up for the season.

The Surti Marcha have started germinating, which is the variety I am most excited about this season. Hopefully the others aren't far behind.
