Grow Your Own Magazine

I registered the other day, I have ordered several different varieties of jalepeno seed and intend to dedicate one of my greenhouses on the allotmentjust for chillies. It may seem overkill but I am totally addicted to chillies and jalepeno's are my fave chilliies. Pickles are great with five or six hot chillies split open in the jar.


Cheers Chris

I'vejust given way to a fivers worth as well. the Moreveg co said they would post to me for £1.25 up to a fiver and £2.25 over that. I was please with that.
No doubt thats only the first of a few orders that will be sent off in the next few weeks. Can't wait to get started.

Shirl, we update the list of Jalapenos in the database. There are some new mild varieties called Jalapeno Delicious, Jalapeno Fooled You, Jalepe Mild and Jalapeno Primavera.

Thanks for that Julian - do you sell the seeds?

Mine were shipped yesterday apparently, I'm hoping they have more information on the packets as it just says "Jalepeno" on the website - no variety info, no heat info, no origin info...

That is the problem I have Wayne. I have some Jalapeno seeds but no idea which ones they are. Would like some which I know to be mild so that I can actually try using them in cooking.

You should be able to try even the hottest chillies in cooking. Just do it in moderation to begin with (and remove the pith and seeds - the hottest bits). I'm a real spice fan, and I have to be careful when cooking for others.

I think (open to being corrected), but as a general rule of thumb, the smaller the chilly, the hotter?

More heat tends to be at the shoulder of the pepper too.

I can't get logged on to the chilliman challenge either. I have tried everything and nothing works.

If you had a log in for last year then it won't work anymore and you'll have to have a different username - don't know why but that was the only thing that worked for me.

last year's login will not work.
however you can use the same user name to register again.
UNLESS, that user name is already taken.
if it is already taken, there is a good chance you have already registered.
bramble, you have a PM

It would be more accurate to say a bigger pepper is statistically more likely to be milder than a small pepper. But it isn't a hard and fast rule. You can have pea sized peppers that are mild, and peppers the size of your fist that are super hot. If you want no heat at all you're better off growing a sweet pepper. If you don't mind a little bit of heat then go for something like ancho: ancho chile pepper database

Sorry Shirl, I don't sell seeds.
