    If any of you want some free chilli seeds ,mail me with your details, send a SAE and you can have them for free.(Don't all rush at once , only a limited amount I will part with !) I'm a chilli fan, grow a greenhouse full every year - the hotter the chilli the better!! (I grow them from my own collected seeds - no deterioration in taste from F1 hybrids - Habernero and Thai Dragon). Spent time in Thailand and got hooked on the food. I will reply to all

    Also got my seed from Suttons.

    Don'tskipit, what a lovely offer - and one I'd take you up on if I hadn't already been getting a load of chilli seeds from elsewhere!

    Interesting that your F1 varieties seem to come true from seed! Bet the seed company don't want us to know that!

    Got Numex Twilight seeds from Thompson & Morgan this morning! Brill!!!

    I grew these last year (seeds from the West Dean Chilli Festival) but started them a little too late in the season to set fruit :o . This will be a great chance to have another go (and report back to BBC Gardener's World of course!).

    Don't leave planting too late next year, fellow chilli growers!!!
