It's a few years since I grew chili peppers but I did it again this
year: cayenne, jalapeno and anaheim. The hottest is supposed to be the
cayenne but, for some reason, they are not as hot as they should be. In
fact, they are quite mild - I can put a piece in my mouth and it doesn't
skin my tongue. I still have some dried cayenne chilis from a few years
ago and they are certainly hot. Growing conditions are exactly the same
in my conservatory.

Does anyone have any idea why this should be?

Probably to do with H&S. Not allowed to sell the hot ones any
more. :-)

They've been wethered, actually :-)


errrr........
Perhaps I should point out that a wether is a castrated ram?
So unless someone has ripped the nuts off all the male chilis this is
probably not the answer ;-)
