    I'm still harvesting from the greenhouse this was today, I took everything that looked edible as it went below zero 2 days ago, saying that there are still 5 or 6 plants that look like they may carry on regardless.

        Against my own advice Ive just ordered more seeds from fatalii seeds in Finland. I'm hoping brexit doesn't spanner their delivery. Defo looking forward to the Antep Aci Dolma. It's a spicy bell pepper by all accounts so sounds great.

        Antep Aci Dolma
        CAP 270
        Hainan Yellow Lantern
        Sugar Rush, Long Peach

        If anyone fancies a seedling swap of any of these in a month or so let me know. Im gonna sow all the seeds but gonna end up with quite a few spares I'd imagine. Hainan yellow lantern looks lovely and prolific too.

                Lemon drop is an odd one for me. Everybody I know absolutely loves them but I can't stand them. It's unbelievably prolific tho and I grow 1 or 2 every year and just give all the peppers away. Keeps everyone I know happy and I can keep all the nice ones for myself. I did make some spice mix with it which I'm finding quite nice. I think drying them leaves the slight lemon flavour but gets rid of that big perfume punch I don't like.

                  I planted a cayenne or two as an experiment today. Going to sow again in a few weeks.

                    I have 6" Hot Green Curry" plants from last year, will they carry on cropping and how long do chili plants live?
                    I love eating them but know very little about them, any advice would be welcome.
                    Eat well, live well, drink moderately and be happy (hic!)

                      If you were interested in a Machu Pichu chilli then I'd be happy for a trade for one of those there spicy pepper things, although it's probably not very exciting.

                        They're short-lived perennials (although they're usually grown as annuals). If you can get them through the winter, and if you repot them in the spring and keep them well fed through the growing season, then they might last 4-5 years. Cropping tends to drop off from the third year onward, though, so it may be best just to over-winter them once and then chuck them at the end of the second year.

                        They won't carry on cropping through the winter itself, and indeed if they try to flower you should remove the buds as there isn't enough light this time of year, but they should start cropping again once things warm up, and give you a head start of up to 2 months or so on plants sown this year.

                          Got one Yellow 7 Pot from last year in the (currently) unheated greenhouse that's starting to shoot. Haven't even bothered to prune it or pick of the remaining fruits, although they've just about finished ripening over the winter! Not sure if any others will survive. trouble is that there was some RSM on them last year and I'm really not happy about keeping them in with other plants this year. I might just take a chance with any survivors in the dining room. I'm sure herself won't mind .

                          I wasn't all that impressed with the Cayenne types I had last year (tough and chewy) so I won't bother with any again. I'll stick to the Yellow 7 Pot, Carolina reaper and Lemondrops from last year, plus some jalapeño to have with salads.
