As has been posted, we could use a decent long summer - it makes all the difference. Mine are a mixture of chilli's that I had left over from putting some into pickled eggs. What sort they are I haven’t a clue. I put them in a paper bag and they have dried out in a draw over winter and I have harvested the seeds.

39TDS Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Mum grew an enormous chilli plant that was covered in fruit last year, it was quite spectacular. As an afterthought I decided to grow some from seed off that plant but we had eaten all the chillies, so I went to her greenhouse and sure enough there were a couple still left on the floor all dried up. We sadly lost Mum a few weeks ago and in the following days my grandson and I sowed those chilli seeds and hoped for the best. They were up within a week and I have 37 out of 40 seeds that are just coming into first true leaves. I was hoping for one or two. Mum was a fanatical gardener and its a nice way to remember her.

Sorry to hear about your mum but I'm sure she would like you to continue with the chilli growing 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have planted loads of jalapenos this year and hope to nail it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
