To break a habit of a lifetime this is a post about .....wait for it ...... veggies!!!

I've been putting my seed order together for my back garden and green house and i was wondering if any of you had grown the following and what you think of them!!!???

Jalapeno chillis (i make a lot of chilli jam and would like to freeze them whole for adding to chillis etc - anygood?)

Gourmet peppers (sweet bell peppers)
Courgette F1 defender
Cucumber F1 Bella

I'm still waiting for my allotment (9 months now!!!) so no BIG ideas just a few to keep me motivated!!!

[gobs]

Jalapenos - be careful with variety, as we all recently learned they can range from nothing to decent heat, depending on type

Bella - never grown

Defender - good

bell peppers - none I so far tried did as well as conical eastern European types, under same conditions, next to each other, incomparable difference in productivity

I LOVE habaneros, and will try growing some. Saved some seed but they nay be F1's so will buy as well if I come across - or may buy a plant that's been started off :oops:

No idea about anything Wildone, will just copy!

    Glad i'm not the only one that has to wing it sometimes!!!

I've bought jalapeno seeds for next year, am hoping they've got some punch.

Have you got any names for the conical Eastern European types of pepper Gobs?  I find the bell peppers don't have much taste, and wold like to try something a bit different!

Well, I get seed from home, Grannie and from Simpsons and Simply Vegetables they both have an enormous range of toms an peppers. My two favs out of what I've so far tried is Round of Hungary also named Paripa and Healthy a Russian of early and bounty.

you might like to try corno di torro - they are quite sweet, long and pointy and don't have many seeds - i like   them  

[gobs]

They are a cooking sort of pepper though with thin flesh, so I did not like them as I like to have them thick fleshed and for salads, well just gobble down as it were.

Very good for roasting though!

Oooh thanks Gobs and Splodger, must look out for them!!!

[splodger]

Oooh thanks Gobs and Splodger, must look out for them!!!

i could sent you a dozen seeds to get you going ga - if you'd like to try the sweeter ones

I might have some too, I just did not like to promise without checking.

Others were complaining of jalapenos being very mild this year, tracks.  How did you grow yours?
