Default Got any chilli seeds?

I could've sworn I had at least 2 varieties of chilli seeds, but alas, only cayenne (although I saved seed from chillis last year, but don't know if they were the cayenne or the numex twilight or if they'll amount to anything anyway.
So I'm after another chilli variety, if any one could help.

I'm afraid I've not much to offer - in fact nothing in the edible crop stakes (unless you want broken packs), but I have the following flower seeds available in sealed packs:

Suttons mixed flowers (inc calendul, cornflower, clarkia, candytuf, godetia and virginian stock;
T&M - Primrose True Blue;
T&M - Malva sylvestris Brave Heart;
T&M - viola cucullata striata Alba;
T&M - campanula dwarf pink;
T&M - chinese forget-me-know 'chill out';
'Homebase' - mimulus 'queen's prize'.

Apologies once again for the lack of 'foody' seeds.

Hi Waffler,

I have lots of chillie seeds:

Purple Prince - Annum - Hot
Prairie Fire - Annum - Medium

I also have some seeds that I dont know the names of but have descriptions of the chillies:

Purple/Green teardrops
Tri Colour Variegata
Marbles
Red Acorns
Round Purple

All these seeds have been saved from previous years plants. You are more than welcome to any that you fancy. I dont want anything in return, I am happy to help another vine if I can.

PM me your address and any that you want and I will send them on.

Tracy

I've not really got any spare (sorry) but if you go for the Purple Prince then note that it took me ages to germinate (doing fine now though) so don't give up on them. Lovely little plants though, even the stems are purple!

Thanks for that Alison - I did go for those in the end. Hopefully the others will germinate more quickly, as I'm a little impatient!

Just realised that the ones I'm growing are actually Purple Tiger so yours may be totally different! Too many purples and I'm easily confused

I'm good for chilli seeds now thanks, and couldn't have helped you out with the penny royals anyway (had to look them up to see what they were! )

Ta anyhow!

Hi Chillie girl,

I have been looking on the boards & your many types of chillie seeds are amazingly interesting to me.

If you do have huge amounts of seed left could you send a few my way if they will be wasted?

Last year I grew a few cayenne plants & enjoyed the results my cooking for quite a few months.

Don't worry if you do not want to part with any.

Thank you,

Nature Girl

PS: Chillie Girl,

I do have plenty of extra veg seeds I could send you in return or would buy you any seeds you may need in return.

Thanks,
Nature Girl

Default Hi Tracy

A couple of any seeds you think will grow on my kitchen windowsill would be great & v exciting if the outcome is not known!

Thanks
