They look fab .ive just been sent some chillies which im drying out for the seeds at the mo.
it will be my first time of growing chillies.

[moggy]

do you means these:-



i think they were a variety of Annuum i grew last year, i think they may have been called purple cluster or purple prince -- they are similar to numex twilight/bolivian rainbow but with dark leaves.

ill confirm the variety when i get in and check my seed collection.....then if you want some seeds ill send you some.

[gobs]

Thanks, Moggy, that would be great and very kind of you.    

Would you like some sweet pepper seeds for a swap?

[moggy]

hi gobs, cant seem to find the exact name for them as i have about 4 varieties that it could be (they all got a bit mixed up)

but if you pm or email me your address ill send you some of each see and you can experiment.

cheers
Moggy
PS ill ask my mate to see if he can id them and give me a definative answer as its doing my head in.

[moggy]

I think they are actually Explosive Ember chillis - i defintley grew them that year

i just got your address via pm so ill pop some in the post once this postal strike is over!!

I'll see if I have any at home, if not I can save some seed from the chillis and send them on to you?

[moggy]

that would be great thanks...in no rush bit cold to be planting them now lol

[Sadgit]

lol tell me about it.
Been an awful year for my chillis.. notice how small the hab orange are.. the rocco red, ha red?? kidding me right? scotch bonnet yellow - what fruit?, Tabasco - what fruit?, Tepin - again what fruit?.. *sigh* oh and Aji Rojo - hellloooo where are my flowers let alone fruit..

In fact I will never be buying chilli seed from e-bay again. As the hot banana, top left, ain't hot banana... and I have several plants that I have no idea what they are but they aren't numex twilight or bol rainbow as they were supposed to be.. roll on next year....

Hi Sadgit, i'm growing Rocoto's this year and they've been very slow.  So far I have had 2 ripe fruit off them, and these took months to ripen.  I've still got fruit on them and am leaving them as I reckon they'll ripen eventually.

I'm going to try overwintering and re-potting them into tubs, they seem to enjoy bigger pots than other varieties i've grown.

This weekend I kicked them all out of greenhouse (thats why weather has got cooler ha!), cos was suffering attacks from we beasties, thought a few days in fresh air would do them good.  I'll pop em back in if forecast is for really cold though it never usually happens here in Blackpool, just the withering wind to contend with.

Today my partner tried some of my ripe red Rocoto on a cheese sandwich (she doesn't like hot chillis!) thinking it was a red pepper.  Boy was she surprised    

Tepin - at least you got them to grow, I spent months cultivating weeds, wasn't till the fruit ripened to black i realised that's what they was
