So who's growing chillies 2021?

[Oneflewover]

I'm growing Cayenne, Naga, Jalepeno and Habanero, and I'm only just getting flowers on the plants now...
Is it best to remove the flowers, or should I leave them be?

Leave them be

Rocoto Red
Mosquetero ( poblano)
Jalapeno "El Jefe"
Fresno
Aji Marchant
Aji Rico

Do you have a recommendation on where to find the seeds?

Do you have a recommendation on where to find the seeds?

In the UK can recommend:
south devon chilli farm
seaspring seeds
real seeds company

You can also order plugs from them if you don't want to germinate your own

I'm going to use this dutch shop though this year, assuming they can ship to the uk
https://www.pepperseeds.eu/

What a cracking selection at pepperseeds.For the uk south devon chilli farm are superb.

I always recommend seaspring seeds as they are lovely people and just down the road from me. Chilli seeds; buy the best varieties here - Sea Spring Seeds

I've started using my chillies, they're green, and about a month later than usual. Seem hotter than usual this year for some reason, they're in self watering pots so it isn't that I've been treating em mean. Greenhouse is a jungle.... again!

Impressive!

Only one of my plants were anything like that, but it got slaughtered by snails over the weekend. Got the flowers and all. It's been really successful this year, i've had one chilli so far, brought it in on Friday, 3 year old ran off with it and lost it somewhere.

wow - how do you get them this early - mine - in a greenhouse - are only pea size....

 

[foxbat]

This is a slow year for me. Too much dull weather in May and June meant the flowers were late and all the rain brought out the slugs. I'm hoping for a late heatwave to ripen off the fruit.

 

[Hanglow]

The cold spring ****** lots of things, thankfully I kept all my plants in my conservatory until early june before I put them into the greenhouse, so they have done quite well. The heatwave though july has helped . Now though we are back to a colder august.....indian summer would be great.

This is a rogue amongst my cayenne. Anyone recognise it?

Glad it's not just me. I grow them every year and this year is just so far behind, normally harvested loads by now but just picking the first ripe ones. I shaded the greenhouse in that week-long heatwave to stop it getting too hot but have just removed it due to lack of sunlight.

 

[bobukbrewer]

tiny round chillies for me, only just turning red

 

[Hanglow]

A lot of my plants were overwintered and are doing ok, they start maturing a bit earlier. I've picked quite a lot of ripe alleppo, jalapeno and biquinho peppers and have dried/frozen them. The kashmiris from seed though are nowhere near ready, and spaghetti chillis only a couple have matured to red so far.

 

[trummy]

Got loads ripening in the greenhouse but what sort? I don't know (not very good at labelling.

I grew a pepper that looked very similar called Basket of Fire Chilli Pepper 'Basket Of Fire'

Thanks. I grew them a few years ago.. must've been a random seed that snook in.

Guys I have about half doz plants one on the window sill and the rest in the poly and no fruits yet I’ve one with flowers????
Where am I going wrong, this is my third year trying with very little success! I did try over wintering last year but none survived!?
