i grew three different kinds too, two mystery kinds that i grew from friends' mystery seed and one jalapeno.
the jalapeno has produced gorgeous and surprisingly juicy peppers but not as many of them as i expected (its my first year growin them) but that was almost certainly due to them simply not havin a big enough pot.
one of the others is in its second year after overwinterin in my kitchen last year, and has been wonderfully prolific, settin very early and bein SO keen to live :-) though the chillies are a little too hot for my usual uses.
i like to use LOADS of chillies for the flavour of them but with these, man, i can only use little bits :-)
and the third kind, hugely prolific but seemed to have hardly any had time to ripen to red, so i think these simply need a longer season than most i've grown so far.
they're still outside though, ripenin away and tryin their best!
a lot of varieties aren't so good for outdoor growin in the uk simply cos of our shorter season..
next year i'm growin the nice hot mystery chilli again, cos it'll be perfect dried and ground, and two new varieties to me, Albertos locoto and Sweet Aji, both from Realseeds.com
the sweet aji is a chilli pepper thats been selected for its lack of heat and its flavour, which seems interestin :-)
check out realseeds, they're definitely chilli lovers, and their whole site is just brilliant :-)
