    a good guide to growing them from seed.

    lots of interesting info and some tasty sounding recipes.
    Chillies should be started by the end of the month.

    Evening all,

    i've purchased my crop :) x20 of each seed


    Fresno Supreme Chilli Seeds "This is a popular general purpose chilli in the USA, it produces lots of conical shaped 8cm chillies with a heat of about 5000-6000 scoville units. Very easy to grow and keep and gives a good supply of red or green chillies for general purpose cooking."


    Pimento de Padron Chilli Seeds "These are traditionally picked immature and green. These peppers are the ones you may have seen in Spanish Tapas bars. They are usually fried in olive oil and sea salt. Here's a Pimientos de Padr!n recipe They can grow into a large plant which gives a pepetual crop throughout the summer."


    Corno di Toro "This is a delicious, red sweet pepper. No heat, but a very intense flavour, thick juicy flesh and thin skin. Fruits grow up to 15 cm long on a large upright plant. Great for grilling and BBQ."


    Peruvian Purple seeds "This very attractive, upright plant has purple leaves and fruit - fruit ripens to red and are 1cm long. This is the plant that many of our customers comment on, having seen them growing in our show tunnel.
    Heat: 50,000 - 60,000"

    A very decorative chilli is Hungarian Hot Wax. It's not terribly hot but quite prolific and freezes well. . Once they've germinated, I grow mine very satisfactorily outdoors from June onwards in 8" pots on a sunny patio.
