Good to see another chillie grower here. I grow in small quantities myself as all my garden is taken up by veg. I grew scotch bonnet a few years ago but then switched to chocolate habaneros which....wow! Very very hot!
Growing only starbursts now as they produce hundreds and hundreds each plant, good and stocky plants and very hardy. About as hot as bird eye.

Ah! A great thread and just reminded me about those packaged chillies i have in the fridge for mondays cooking seshion. I do wish i had the room to put up a greenhouse for the home grown ones though.
I do grow my own Garlic and chives.

The little tiny one's ,, are they tabasco peppers,,,these are very small and wow! what a kick they have,,,perfect

I was once told that the smaller the chilli, the hotter it is. Is this right?

 

[gothica7]

Tabasco is a very mild chili compared to these ones ime afraid.
However i did find a chili sauce for sale in Asda the other day and i cannot eat it ime afraid.
Its called Dave's Insanity Sauce and i dont think even Waff could handle it. It shouldnt be allowed to be sold as its such dangerous stuff.

Go on, try it i dare you, it could spoil your day.

Serrano

The peppers I grow and use in my home made salsa are called Serrano Peppers, and these babies are HOT. They are about the same size as a Chili Pepper and turn bright red when ripe. I also can them in dill brine which is delicious but damn HOT. The ultimate price is paid next day on crapper...Dano

I grow starburst chillis now as they produce hunderds and hundreds and are very short, stubby and hardy plants. Ideal for England. The chillies are tiney and start yellow and turn green and orange. Little bit like Bird eye chillies but much hotter giving a slow release, excellent for cooking.
If your looking for hot hot, then any of the Habenero variety will do you proud!
