Chilli plants

Much less than £1 per plant, really good range, includes mild ones for Sandy, well packaged and arrived next day. Ideal for the incompetent or lazy chilli gardener.

Sells other related items too, see http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/chilliesonthe ... 4340.l2559

Awesome. I'm defnitely going to get some plants, and probably some dried chillies too.

A part of me fancies making a ghost chilli mead.

Sounds good, but what the fuck are all the chilis? I'm afraid my knowledge is somewhat lacking and I would require advice before purchase. I want:

1. Easy to grow

2. Relatively small in stature

3. Interesting flavour - I don't mind hot, but not to the detriment of flavour.

What I know and like; Roger's coffee bean, Roger's arachi lemon, turtle's claw, orange habanero. As far as hotness, I like the 7 pot but I don't want blood to come from any of my orrifices, and I must admit I wouldn't know a 'beni highlands' from my auntie Mabel.
Long live SHA(T)!

Hot Portugal is a good one, easy to grow and does well outdoors int he UK summer. Jalapeno often does well outdoors too.

For windowsill growing look to the C. Chinense varieties. The Aji Limon/Aji Lemon/Lemondrop Habanero/Aji Pineapple is a C. Baccatum, tends to grow quite tall but may be ok if you keep it trimmed.
