Edible Gardening

I've tried several varieties over-Winter, over the years. The only variety that has been a success for me is Aquadulce, and I don't bother with other varieties any more as I like to start mine off early, albeit in an unheated greenhouse rather than outside

a lovely endorphine rush then :D

Awesome i look forward to seeing the outcome as soon as i get a laptop and camera working again i will get some pics up f the grow so far this year :D

Moruga scorpion is not the worlds hottest again im afraid, The trinidad scorpion moruga blend is one of the hottest though unfortunately they are different strains, but look exactly the same, and are marketed as the same by unscrupulous sellers. They are all far from mild and anyone who can eat...

Small pellets black in colour and all over the place where they go.

Yeah, I would give them a try, but they're definitely not pretty with blackfly on.

Ah, that's great thanks. Exactly what I was looking for

Agreed. Based on past experience, I think it starts being worthwhile with about 20 plants. I have plenty of pea seeds, but I sort of think the commercial ones might produce high yield, so I thought it might be worth a try, but I've set myself a very challenging objective in terms of the number...

How did yours germinate, mine popped in about 3 days in the heated prop with cfl lighting and are doing quite well although like most chinenses are taking theyre sweet time to develop a good root system! Scrungee have the flower buds begun to show through, are you planning to pull the first...

Thats what I thought Andy, till last week,

Cheers Kirsten ive got a unheated porch at the front of the house were I start my seeds off ill chuck a sack in their. Dan

Brussel tops were a very popular veg in the old days and you can still buy them on some market stalls. There's nothing wrong with eating them raw but it's normal to cook them. They are much nicer to eat than brussels.

A good plan Julie

No worries They don't care one way or another about sunlight, unless its drying them out. No Chlorophyll in them unlike plants. As long as they have the right temperature & humidity they'll be happy.

I would love to see some pictures Dale...you are a brave soul growing all those hot peppers!!! We eat a few of them here too, although i havent started mine, heck i havent even decided what i'm growing this year. Question though, what do you do with all those peppers; cook with them, freeze...

I'm giving these a go myself this year. I don't expect to come anywhere near Peter Glazebrook's results, but I'm looking forward to giving it a go. Growing Giant Onions

Hi all Thanks for the replies some great advice and help offered I think I will try both along with my usual pink fir apple, great to see the regular names still on this site. Cheers Dave

How easy is it to take cuttings from chillies? I've got some overwintered plants that I'm intending to prune a bit and wondered about trying to get some prunings to root.

I always found it had a fairly short cropping season, especially if we get a mild spring. It quickly runs to large flower buds if it turns mild.
