this morning i potted on 21 red hot chillie plants!!!!!
really chuffed as i love chillies in food esp currys.
last year i had no joy for germination, so was chuffed to see all these lush plants.

not the band, but i have seen them live back home in dublin it was cool, not like the chillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

21 chilli plants?!!! You'll be eating chilli all year with that many.  I grew about 6 varieties different strengths a few years back and I have just got to the end of them in my freezer and the dried ones I did.  Growing some "Pepperonicino" ones this year and one Jalapeno.  Should be enough I hope.

i know!!!!
my wife thinks im mad, but as said i love meals that are hot and spicy.
im sure i will give some to freinds is well though.

I'm a fan of both - the band and the edible ones  I always grow too many but chutney can use up loads.  I've only got a dozen plants this year but sometimes with more space you get more chillies anyway.  For a tasty snack, split a large pepper, add Philadelphia, a bit of ham then a chillie or two and close it back up - chilli surprise, as you don't know which mouthful will be cool and which will buuurn !

I've only got 6..
Do you guys grow them in greenhouses or polytunnels?

Ive got some scotch bonnet growing which are very very very hot,not for me i might add they are for oh who has a ton of hot chill powder on every meal!

I grow mine in pots in the greenhouse which is inside the polytunnel.  Last year I planted some out in the tunnel border but the chicks, which had to be in the tunnel because of too many predators outside, ate them all, red hot bits especially.
