Mine have absolutely no heat at all.   It describes them as spicy on the pack, but they have very little flavour.  Last year my Jalapenos were the same, no heat at all.  Am I doing something wrong?

I have grown some joe's long but havent tasted any yet, will let you know. I thought they were a mild one anyway?

yep I've grown them this year, the ones I picked a few weeks ago were very bland, not even slightly hot, but the ones I picked this week have been quite hot...and some are just starting to turn black and so hopefully red eventually

Thanks.  Next year I might just plant Scotch Bonnets and be done with it.

basically Ice.. a bad year for chillis. I grew Joes last year and they were good but not great because of the wet summer as well.. Cracking for dying and defo have a nice kick on pizzas etc.

loads of my chillis have been heatless inc hab oranges and my scotch bonnets have well been fruitless.. they need sun and heat.

I would have had joes this year, except I chucked them away while a few weeks old by accident

So it's move somewhere hotter or buy them from the supermarket.  Darn it. :?   Heres to a hot summer next year.

Mine have all been utterly pants this year too. :evil:

I've got a couple of Dorset Naga's left but they're no bigger than a 10p. Im not holding out much hope for them. Even the hot lemon has yet to produce anything...

Its a good job I've misplaced my cheque book otherwise Id be spending a fortune at Pepper by post. ...again.  :cry:

Eh?

Brilliant they are, sweet and hot and all, they were good last year too, compared to most crops. I don't put them outside though and treat them a bit mean.

Yes, I think you should get some Scotch bonnet, Ice or whatelse that is more then a few thousand Scoville, 'couse that amount of heat can get washed out on environmental conditions.

Lardman, I think Naga is a smallish pepper so don't worry!

Mine were all greenhouse reared but I didn't treat them mean Gobs.  Next year I'll shout at them and question their parentage.

No joke though. Environmental stress does increase heat and flavour.
