Chilli! All Things Chillies.

[Bizier]

I have my 7pod seedlings going with some other varieties. I'm thinking of giving the habs a miss this year. I want to get some Trinidad seasoning (?) a go and focus on getting more from the 7s.

Ed: also the Trinidad Scorpions from the always generous Spoonta refuse to germinate, all the others have done well, I've had to do a fair whack of thinning.

Chilli seeds are notorious for their lack of germination

One of my choc bhut jolokia plants has decided to fruit. Looking pretty gnarly already.

Looking good Liam! My chillis (last years) don't look to be doing so well at the moment, what the heck do I do to give them a kick in the ass or should I just start new?

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Power Feed.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

Give them a trim. You'll feel like a bad parent but after three weeks you will be gifted with plenty of new growth.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

They love a good haircut. Then a good watering with power feed/fish emulshin/seaweed.

Mmm chillies.
I just made anothe batch of Sriracha using fermented chiili mash made from home grown Naga's.
Arse burner that one is.
I also grow Orange Habs, Red Habs, Fiesta, Black Pearl, Yello Siam, Goat's Horn, Serrano, Cayenne.

Had a win at Masters and picked up four great chili plants.
Bhut Jolokia
Trinidad Scorpion
Habanero
Zimbabwe birdseye

$12 for all four.

I've scored a pack of dried whole Kashmiri Chillies - the powder is a main feedstock for restaurant curries but hard to get hold of the whole chillies.

I'm going to try and germinate some and if they are successful I can post some of the current batch of dried pods if interested.

Kashmiri chillies are long, brilliant red and mild to medium hot so you can use a heap of them for their smoky sweet flavour.

Sounds nice Bribie. Good luck getting them sprouted.

Hey hey.
If you get them to grow I'd love some seeds. The best chilli powder ever.

Quick pick for some Sriracha in the next few days...
