How did you get on with the Roccotta Scarlet?, mine failed miserably, died at my lotty whilst i was laid up at home

[Scarlet]

I only sowed 2, 1came up and didn't do much through neglect....spent a lot of time in Wales this Summer with family and my GH has suffered...and I've also had some rodents that seem to have eaten everything

[jackarmy]

Well heres my offerings, Nigels outdoors at the top and Basque/esplette on the bottom.
I have plenty of both so will send both in

[Scarlet]

You are a star Jack

Anyone else managed to save anything? Pretty please........

[jackarmy]

Hope things pick up trip.

None from me this year I am sorry to say. Just had a quick tidy and most of the plants are yet to flower Out of everything that was bagged there was one fruit that looks a bit sad. Shame as there are some really nice looking plants. Will have a proper go at overwintering some of the plants this year.

4 how will I know whats what ?

Last year I got these from that packet ...I think....The basket of fire was not included, it was bought as a fruiting plant from Suttons

[jackarmy]

Going from the packet photos id take a shot at ,cayenne, cherry bomb, jalapeno and a miniture like basket of fire or something similar. deffinatley worth using next year as long as their kept dry, start in late jan, early feb with those varieties, early jan if you have a nice warm windowcill.

Yes, agree with Jack those seeds should be good for this year. Love Franchi seeds, there's always loads in the pack. Those seeds should be quick to germinate and if you have the bonus of lights I think I would start again rather than over winter..... Not only do they look like they've given you a good crop already...but it's good to keep in the Mrs good books
