Spatz-No green chili, eh? Like Numex Big Jim or one of those? My container of Numex Big Jim is putting out green chile now, has been for a month, and its great.

Your list looks real good. Keep us in the loop.

Grub · July 16, 2007

I have some for Spatz, Michael...and am still getting plenty of Numex here too

Great list, will post a pic asap of a few I picked today.

Spatzbear · July 17, 2007

Well, there you go.

The lack of green chillies is taken care of. Thanks, Grub and thanks, Michael for your concern.

Was just wondering about non-heat seasoning peppers. What are they like? I think you mentioned them, Grub. What do they do taste-wise? Do you use them a lot? How would you rate them?

And about the green chillies. What are they like taste-wise? And heat-wise? I'm new to green chillies. I always thought they were just unripe chillies.

Grub · July 17, 2007

Okay... picked these and sent them interstate to a sauce maker today.

Still billions out there.

Andrey_BY · July 17, 2007

Spatzbear, good to see some of my pepper varieties

Grub, you peppers are just adorable

Never seen so many hotties grown here even by the whole garden community of Minsk

Grub · July 17, 2007

Lol Andrey... I am overwhelmed. Feel free to invite your neighbours down here to share in the spoils. Chilli beer is another idea I have. Or what about vodka?

Unfortunately, I lost a large reply post to Spatz... suffice to say: if you like the taste of C.Chinense as in habaneros thenthose I am growing will appeal... have a bucketful on the way... no heat but good flavour... great for chilli con carne with a twist, salsas, ceviche and more.

The green NuMex, Anaheim, kind of ones turn another colour but TexMex dished demand them green, roasted, skinned, chopped and added to everything from chilli to eggs... way to go... not too hot, just right, and lovely depth of flavour and sweetness even. Still picking some of them too.

Thanks MV.

hi spatz. nice list!
grub...just made haberno beer today.
will let you know how it turns out.
unfortunately...it doesn't account for many chilis. you're still going to have to go into the sauce business.

**mdvpc** · July 17, 2007

Spatz-Grub has it right. You can let the green chile stay on the vine and get red, but it doesnt change the taste of the chile. Where I live, which is the green chile capital of the world, we pick them green. My favorite use is in a green chile buffalo stew.

veratrine · July 17, 2007

Ack! Cave Creek Chili Beer is the only bottle of beer ever thrown out, undrunk, in our household!

tessa · July 18, 2007

yes, but you haven't tried mine!

Spatzbear · July 18, 2007

Thanks for the green chile info! They sound interesting. And the seasoning peppers. Sooo much to learn, sooo much to grow, so little time.

Grub, have you tried to make any chile sauce yourself yet? With so many chiles around you'd have plenty to experiment with. Just don't let Summer near them.

Chilli beer? Never tried it. How much chilli do you put in the bottle? One whole one? More?

Andrey, I have sown all your seeds (except for the tomatoes, they'll come later). I can't wait to see how your seeds are doing in my climate.

tessa · July 18, 2007

not into the bottle, spatz, into the fermentation.
i'd only put about 4 habernos into 23 litres of beer on the brew. so, doesn't use up a lot of chilies...but warms the ears nicely.

Full Moon · August 19, 2007

Spatz great list!
I noticed you have Doe Hill with the chilies, it's not. It's a beautiful little orange capsicum.

Cheers

Spatzbear · August 19, 2007

Oooops...thanks, Full Moon!

All the better, really.

Do let us know what you will be growing.
