    Chilli Obsession !!

    ...and i tried so hard, honest, but my addiction just won't be controlled!

    there was me quietly doing my sowing for the chilli control trial, and wondering why so many of my varieties are now missing ( long story) , and i got to mourning some of the varieties and made the mistake of going online.

    There i found myself on the real seed site, and am now the proud and expectant owner of:

    Lantern chillis
    pretty in purple
    lemon drops
    purple venezuelan.

    i had to stop there, cos i was actually looking for

    Aurora
    birds eye
    marbles
    naga
    prairie fire
    rooster spur
    and a rainbow one i cant remember the name of

    this chilli thing is getting out of hand.
    If anyone is growing the ones i am missing, let me know.
    if anyone is growing ones they might like to recommend, it's not heat i am interested in so much as shapes, colours and interesting plants, please amaze me
    and if anyone knows a cure for this obsession? keep it to yourself

    considering the amount of chilli threads on the vine, i am seriously considering a chilli worshippers group

    For a really attractive plant you should try Bolivian Rainbow. The fruits point upwards and when in full production you can have fruits in yellow, green, orange, purple and red all at the same time.
    Happy Gardening,

      If you do, count me in

      I'm about to start off a load soon, including Naga Morich and Naga Jolokia.

        Can't help you - sorry. My second Christmas tree [with tinsel] was a Alberto Rocoto that I'm overwintering. It's good to see that although it shed loads of leaves after Christmas, it's got new growth on it now. I've also got about 10 in the outdoor mini greenhouse, sans leaves and chopped back - just in case they revive once spring comes. I've got at least 20 varieties that i'm growing this year.

          Oooh I'm so with you on the above! I love chillies as well! I grew 2 types last year. This year as part early trial; I have already planted 2 of each of about 4 different types all listed on Zazen's early tomatoe growing thread. I have some others to sow as well but need to see what room I have b4 I do so.

          I think if someone were to put my hands behind my back and put handcuffs on me; and a blind fold I would still find a way to grow and eat more chilli's

              well i may just do that later, see how much interest we get, it might help keep all us chilli maniacs in one place plus make it easier to swap varieties.

                          I have the chocolate habenero, seeds were a gift from a certain person in this thread

                          sowed some today in the moon trials.
                          those tepin look very like the 'marbles' i am after, i do wish they would stick to one name for these plants.

                            the choc habaneros are one of the hottest chilis in the world 600,000 SHC ( scoville heat chart) i tried eating it raw at 2.AM once ( i was bored) it took a good 20 minutes for the heat to die down in my mouth,, i had to drink atleast a pint of milk ( semi skimmed)

                            dont EAT IT RAW

                            the tepin is native of texas Usa
