What an interesting thread!

I am growing the following this year:

Sizzler
Lemon Drop
Krakatoa
White Hab.
Golden Hab.
Bolivian rainbow
Chinese Five Colour
Pusa Jwala
Tabasco
bangalore torpedo
Cayenne
Cobra
Fatali
Scotch bonnet red

Also Bulgarian carrot (not having much luck with these seedlings, they keep wilting as do my lemon Drop...could my Spanish climate be too hot for them?)

I planted all the seeds at the same time and the Sizzlers seem to be doing the best.

Hi Tori

Are you having a hot spring this year in Spain?
Over here it's been pretty awful ! My plants are standing frozen to the spot :( I think that too hot for the majority of hot peppers doesn't exist ;) except if you live in Saudi Arabia or the Emirates ! :lol::lol:

It can easily get too hot here, just depends on the location.
 
The thing is it's not just the overall temperature, but direct sunlight can actually burn you and your plants. so even if it's 40c in the shade, as long as they don't get direct sunlight, they're ok.
It's only a short part of the year, not year-round.
 
Eheh omri, if I ever get 40ºC over here this year I wouldn't mind to loose 10 plants ! It's been sooooooooooooo cooooooooooooldddd ! Brrrrrr !!! :(

Hi Whocares (member)
Its been a pretty mixed up spring! At the start of May everyone was panicing (as they do every year) that the temperature was rising and that we had not had our expected rains, over the past fortnight we have had some fierce thunderstorms bringing with them plenty of rain. One night alone my rain-catcher in the garden measured 40cms of rainfall which is a lot for us.

I have planted a mixture of seeds this year, my best performer by far seems to be the SIZZLER and HUNGARIAN WAX which have withstood the changable weather (wet and chilly one minute, hot and sunny the next)
I planted LEMON DROP, WHITE HAB,and BULGARIAN CARROT and they have not done so well, have wilted in the heat and not liked the rain either. My seeds were all coming up well but the rains have stopped the remainder from germinating and the soil got mouldy

My plants have also been plagued with greenfly and whitefly at the moment which is a bit of a battle, I don't know if this is weather related.

What species of chilli do you find grows well in Portugal?

I heard there was a chilli farm in Portugal Have you ever been to see it.
 
Hi Tori. No, I've never heard of a chili farm here in Portugal. Do you have more information about it?
Here in Portugal I have only grown piri-piri and pimiento padron. This is the first year that I'm diversifying my culture :) Let's see what carries better. I'll keep you updated ;)
 
yes lemon drops/habs/bulgarian carrot can wilt quite quickly in midday sun so take them in..or even better as omri suggests but them in a shaded area for at least part of the day..had the same problem with my lemon drops and habs as you so tour not on your own :)

morning margarida...
