Fantastic!!!!!

I also grow peppers and chilli's but not as many as you but after seeing your photo's I'm going to try to grow a few more. I normally grow about 40 plants but only keep 7/8 for myself but not after seeing how many you fit in your gh.

Looks great what's your secret??

[Clampit]

Do you eat all your chili's? Some of those little ones don't 'alf look hot. :shock:

[Davenports]

What do you do with all your crop?

Do you give them away or make stuff with them?  If so what?
 :shock:  :?

thanks everyone

to be honest i dont think there is any secret, i always start them quite early (feb) in the heated propogator i made, move them into plastic cups when they have 2-4 leaves, leave them on the window sill then move them into the greenhouse once its warm enough.

then once they start fruiting i feed them every couple of weeks with week tomato feed.

with the crops i tend to eat alot of them, make stuff....someone got me a fantastic book from the states with lots of chilli recipies in, i also freeze them or dry them and even make chilli powder using an old coffee grinder..failing that i give them to friends and family....and people on forums if they are lucky lol

sometimes the size is deceptive....its not always the tiddlers that are the hottest...then again you can pick one thats really mild and the next one can blow your head off.

I grow chillis and peppers and am always keen to try different types.. Can I ask what type are the small purple ones in your photo? They look amazing and would make a great plant gift for friends! I had so many chillis last year I still have dried garlands of them hanging up round my kitchen! Won't stop me growing more this year though-have some plantson the go already hich are about 4 inches tall!

Good selection of chilies, moggy.
I grow them myself, I like to eat chilies even raw in salads. (not too hot)

BTW, piclens makes your flickr photo display even better. Try it!
