So, can I just ask something as I love eating chillis - can I just go to a supermarket, buy some chillis, and plant the seeds from inside it?


You can, but you may not end up with the same pods as they cross easily. I put tulle round unopened flowers so I know all the seeds from these pods will be 100% pure! Very very time consuming (got 300 or so plants!!)

Is a top company to deal with, they're from
across the pond but service is brilliant.
They also through in some free packs.


Thanks for the link :D and a great list of chillis!

Just a suggestion, on your descriptions page it'd be nice if you had plant height/width ( or spacings ) ... it'd help muppets like me when they're deciding what will fit in a space ;)

When you say that you put tulle ( a fine mesh right? I had to google it :roll: ) around the flower, do you mean like you would with tomatoes or do you mean over the whole plant? I'd really like to be able to save seed from whatever varieties I get.

This year I have grown

Orange Habs
Chocolate Habs
Bhut Jolokia
Naga Jolokia
Bih Jolokia
Naga Morich
Fatali
Hot Lemon
Purira
Marbles
Goats weed
Scorch Bonnet
Hungarian Hot Wax
Aurora
Big Banana

All of which have fruit on them now. Albeit very small fruit in some cases.
They all came from chilliseeds.co.uk and I had an excellent germination rate with them, 140 plants out of 160 seeds, which considering the varieties I am growing aint bad at all, but you takes yer choice.......

May have a problem now though 'cos my Hot Lemons are turning red!!!!! and my Chocolate habs are going Orange!!!!!! I was very careful not to mix the seeds up, so i'll have to wait for all the others to rippen so that I can see whats going on!!! My view may diminish.

I tried on of my rippened Naga Jolokia fruits the other day.

Whoa yer fighter they're hot :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Can't wait to try the even hotter ones.................NOT!!!

Hoo hoo, I'm excited for harvesting a chilli fomr my Dorset Naga. Super hot, one I would recomend is Cayenne chillies. My seeds are over 2 years old and germinate in 6 days :D easy and not too hot. You can get some good Cayenne seeds from wilkos, ebay or other growers :)

Thanks for all the suggestions on varieties to grow, I'm slowly drawing up a hot list ( :roll: ) and will be back some more questions shortly.

I really hope that whatever I grow turns out as well as the ones y'all have in your photos :D

I got a mixture of chillie seeds off e-bay. Sure I did all the right things but still waiting for the plants to flower in the poly tunnel!  They were transferred to the polytunnel in May when they were big enough to pot on.
It`s been a nice warm summer up here in the Highlands so what have I done wrong?
