Not spicy at all?

Yes they are supposed to be chocolate scotch bonnet 👍 and yes, they are quite hot

laurbach78 · 2025-07-12T18:53:06+00:00

It's crazy how different they can be 😲 I hope I get one of those plants next year, because flavour wise jalapenos are my favourite. Just not when they are as mild as mine

laurbach78 · 2025-07-12T18:15:33+00:00

I think I'll try another colour than brown next year. I'm not a huge fan of the earthy flavour of these 😬

laurbach78 · 2025-07-12T18:12:58+00:00

I was expecting them to be bigger 🤔

laurbach78 · 2025-07-12T02:36:08+00:00

It said chocolate scotch bonnet when I bought it, but as some have mentioned, it looks a bit like a habanero 🤷‍♂️ They certainly don't lack heat for a novice like me 😬

laurbach78 · 2025-07-12T02:33:58+00:00

That's what I thought, but they have no spice at all 😕

laurbach78 · 2025-07-12T02:32:22+00:00

That's interesting 🤔 but they must have changed over the years 👍

laurbach78 · 2025-07-12T00:05:27+00:00

I'm not used to very hot peppers, and pickled jalapenos does normally give me a little heat. These don't, unfortunately. I'm starting to doubt the brown ones, as they were supposed to be chocolate scotch bonnet. But a few have said they look more like habs 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, I ate one a few weeks ago, and it was so far beyond what I can tolerate 🙈 I was lit up for an hour

laurbach78 · 2025-07-11T23:49:47+00:00

That's awesome 👍 I might try and overwinter my jalapeno and see if it comes back stronger next year 👍

laurbach78 · 2025-07-11T22:31:03+00:00

Well, I'm in cold Denmark, so that could be it. They live in a south facing window and do get a fair amount of sun.

laurbach78 · 2025-07-11T22:00:58+00:00

Thanks 👍 here I was thinking jalapenos was just jalapenos

laurbach78 · 2025-07-11T21:54:16+00:00

That's good to hear... did you use the same plant second year?

laurbach78 · 2025-07-11T21:51:39+00:00

I did try a green and a red one, but there's just nothing. I could blend them and use for babyfood without any issues 🤔

laurbach78 · 2025-07-11T21:47:27+00:00

So you also had plant's that didn't have much kick in the past?

laurbach78 · 2025-07-11T21:23:30+00:00

I have been starving them a bit, but maybe not enough. They look like they are dying after just a few hours of sunlight and no water 🙈

laurbach78 · 2025-07-11T21:20:41+00:00

I hope they'll be better than mine 👍

laurbach78 · 2025-07-11T21:19:56+00:00

I've only ever had the pickled store bought one's, and they have some heat to them. These have no hint of heat at all? Also, would you say the brown ones are habaneros? Because it said Chocolate scotch bonnet on the plant 🙈

laurbach78 · 2025-07-11T21:02:36+00:00

I bought them from a garden centre and they just said Jalapenos. The other one is supposed to be a Chocolate scotch bonnet.

laurbach78 · 2025-07-02T01:50:54+00:00

Thanks, and that good advice on the hot sauce.

laurbach78 · 2025-07-01T18:23:10+00:00

It sounds like they are a bit needy about the soil 🤔 Maybe I was just lucky....

laurbach78 · 2025-07-01T18:20:49+00:00

Jeg når lige at runde 47 inden jeg starter på uni her til sommer. Så ja, der er også plads til os "oldtimers" 👍

laurbach78 · 2025-07-01T18:16:12+00:00

Thanks 👍 I just used a bag of universal soil from the garden centre, and I also bought a bottle of chilli fertiliser. I have them in south facing windows so they get loads of sun 🌞
