New Pepper Season..2015/16
Hi Folks
My Chilli guru has sent me a selection of Chilli seed for our upcoming season. This bloke has never put me onto anything other than great chiliies and I am enquiring whether any of the forum have come across these and any growing advice or comments.... 7Pod..Pink/peach Chuck Norris Moruga TS Aji Amarillo White Fatali Bhut shaped Reaper NS Scorpion These are all new to me but looking through the list I would think there is some pretty nasty heat in there. Any comments ?? Geoff |

Nasty heat? Those are all super hots except maybe the Aji Amarillo, so we're talking deathly heat at this point Hope you do a glog, would be interesting to see how productive they are first year.

Yes they are pretty daunting aren't they?
My obsessions are the scorps and the 7Pods...but these particular ones are new to me. I am not expecting much if anything in the first year and will have to overwinter and reap (er) the reward the following season....I have just finished harvesting the crop of 18 months ago. Geoff |

Wow, I have never seen a White Fatali. The Yellow Fatali is a favorite. If they are productive, could I get a seed?

Yes I am quite happy doing that.. It would be useful for me as well . I will start tomorrow by doing a full listing of the chillies I will be starting this season...They will be put down for germination in the next two weeks or so.. Got some really interesting new varieties as well as the ones listed previously Geoff |

I'd love to try a few TS Morouga Yellow if you have extra.
It might be easier to send them to one place in the U.S. and then we can send our SASE to them. Thanks so much for the offer. |

Nice list you've got there! I'm growing Aji Amarillo for the first time this year, it's a nice big bushy plant, nothing ripe yet though.
White Fatalii? That's a new one to me, if you have enough seeds I'd like to get in on your offer too. The regular Fatalii is one of my favorites.

Folks, just to bring everyone back to Terra Firma, please keep in mind that Geoffrey44 is in Australia, so the postage considerations are quite large, and I know you all wont want him to foot the whole bill. Nice that he wants to share seeds, but I think an SASE with the appropriate dollar amount of return postage would be the gentleperson's right thing to do. Geoffrey44, what does postage to the US cost? I think the postage from here to you is $1.45, but not sure.
Another suggestion would be to have one person in the US get your seeds and everyone send their SASEs to that person. |
