Scotch Bonnet chilies

Hi
I have been looking for some Scotch Bonnet Chilie plugs or seeds for ages and have found none. I have brought some chilies from local Tesco with the plan to grow the seeds.
Does anyone have info that would help or am i wasting my time?

Hi Dave again.

I'm a firm belliever that if you buy something you can plant it and get the same thing. I'm not a veggie grower .... quite the opposite actually with indigenous plants here being my thing ... but I have stuck a cherry tomato in the ground and I ended up with more than I bargained for ..... so .... go for it ...

 

Lady
I suppose what i mean is do i dry them or just try and grow like a regular seed? Like you i do not usually grow stuff to eat but have been given a greenhouse so what to grow!

 

Have a look at thompson and morgans website .

There's more chillis than you can shake a stick at.

I once grew some Habaneros from them.

Holy cow...never again !!

 

My first attempt at chillies was from a humble jalapeno bought at Morrison's. No problems. No need to dry the seed, just pop it in compost at about 3 or 4 mm depth and keep it warm and moist (but not too moist) for germination.

 

Scotch Bonnet ! you are brave Dave. Hope they turn out ok, I grew them a couple of years ago but we couldn't use that much of them. I only used about a quarter of a chilli in a big pot of curry.

 

I once tried to dry out some chilli seeds to plant. That's how I know that you should just plant them as they are!
Aren't Scotch Bonnet the hottest you can get?

 

No rose. That is the tepin. But scotch bonnet runs them close.

 

What the blazes. don't say the new software is multi-posting now. I clicked once - Honest.

 

Thanks for the info guys. Sound easy to grow.
I'm growing them because i want to and not to eat. Got a greenhouse and experimenting what i can grow. Have two peppers and two cucumbers, with the rest of my space i going to play

 

Hey Dave, have you heard of the Dorset Naga?

cheers,
Dave

 

Shiney your mad......every day, i thought i was bonkers!:D
Thanks for the tip Marley:thumb:
Dave never heard of them but am interested now.:thumb:
I think keeping them whole is also a good idea as when i cook Scotch Bonnet or any chilli for ages you have to be careful not to rub your eyes or any delicate part. and it doesn't matter how mush you scrub your hands the chilli is always there.
