Hi everyone,
My first chilli grow since 2017!! It's been a long time since I have been on here, I had a bad fall which shattered my elbow, snapping bones, tearing ligaments and all that fun stuff, so life went sideways for quite a while. But I'm now able to grow again and in the garden happily hanging with the birds and bees in Spring. Less so the ongoing minor flooding with all the rain down here, but it is shaping up to be a heck of a growing season in southern Australia.
Fresh seeds from The Hippy Seed Co. Neil and Charlotte are awesome, their stock always grow true for me. 3 x Naga-bon, 1 x chiro de norte, 2 x aji pineapple, 1 x yellow siam and 2 x japanese takanotsume. All enjoying their first day of full sunshine in their new pots after starting in the tent inside a couple of months ago. A few excess plants also went to the neighbours, I hate to toss healthy plants and glad to rehome them.
Cheers,
B

I like to cold smoke them with cherry wood before dehydrating or making bbq sauce, they are such a versatile chilli. The others are new to grow, although I have grown lemon drop before. I want to make a bunch of asian style pickles and sauces this year, so needed the flavour profiles as well as the raw heat for the mix.
I ordered some Nagabons from The chilli Factory few months back and still waiting to receive them. Our postal system sucks. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing how your Nagabons turn out - I am also a huge fan of them.
