We grow chillies every year out on the allotment and have done for some
years. Always get a good crop (especially the hot Thai Dragon).


I'll look out for seeds for that variety next year. When I've tried in the
past in Nottingham in a greenhouse the crop was dismal. I think part of the
problem was the greenhouse wasn't in full sun all day.

Do they freeze well or lose any of their spicy heat? How does freezing
compare to drying?

David.


I grew Apache on the patio last year - huge crop of hotish chillies,
froze most of them. They freeze well and the heat seems unchanged, if
anything they've got hotter. I'm trying Scotch Bonnets and Halapenos
this year.
