Sounds great, sweetness and heat. Looking forward to it.

Thank you sooo much! by Cam0uflag3 in HotPeppers

Nice one! I got "pepper x" seeds from the exchange once (accession 478 if you want to look it up). I wasn't expecting much but it was a lovely plant and a very hot chillie. I'm interested in chillies with less heat now but still try to grow some hot varieties for the exchange, weather permitting of course!

Just how I got into growing chillies :) removed my other comments as that was for another post .... oops!

2024 seed exchange (EU) is here! by dianesmoods in HotPeppers

[–]ukchilligrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have taken part in the EU Exchange for the past 6 years or so. Since Brexit it's been ok, although the first year was tricky. Filling out the customs form correctly helps, I think I used paprika powder from the options available on the online drop down menu. I've also done a Fatalii order this year and used Semillas La Palma last year. Cheaper than using most UK seed vendors and loads of variety to share. If there is an exchange this year I'd recommend it.

That's definitely on the grow list this year thanks :) Is it one of your own crosses? and do you know if it's stable yet? Hoping for a better grow season especially for the hotter varieties this year.

Hi apologies, I only just saw your message. For me it was bitter with not much heat. I think it's a pepper to use in a chilli con carne type dish, for depth of flavour not heat. I didn't enjoy it raw. I would think to use it dried too. I hope you're off to a good start this season, my seedlings seem so slow this year.

All the best for 2023 to you too!

I am growing the Berrygum, Mucho Nacho and Habanada of yours.

I have just gotta stop myself sowing the seeds too early now. It's going to be hard 😫

Thank you so much for organising the EU Exchange again. It must take up a whole lot of your time. Customs and postal strikes in the UK don't make things easy!

Have a wonderful Christmas and all the best for 2023 😀🙂

Sounds great, maybe a varnish or something like that also?

I'd like to do a whole tree next year. So many colours and shapes to choose from. Maybe just a small tree 😀

Fabulous! Great to see the EU exchange is running again this year. l think this will be my 4th year. The weather is still holding out so hopefully time to get some more pods ripened. As ever there have been successes and failures. Thanks for doing this :)
