Went down the allotment this morning and after taking off the cloches pulled
up all the chilli and pepper plants before they get frosted.
Superb crop of Inferno and Thai Dragon chillies with quite a good percentage
red especially the Inferno, the little tiny very hot Tabasco were mostly red
but an absolute pain to pick off the little bushes.
The Bullhorn Mixed peppers did well too, first time we have ever been
successful with peppers out on the plot. If only we had had a decent start
to the summer instead of the plants sulking for a couple of months they
would all have ripened to whatever colour they were, as it was we got some
nice yellow ones and a couple of red ones amongst lots of green.
We froze what chillies we want, gave lots of everything to three Asian
neighbours including one of the Tabasco bushes each to pick their own off.
:-)
The remainder went to our favourite Indian Restaurant again, the lads down
there tell me they eat the Infernos in a salad!

Recommendations (after growing the first two for many years) are...
Thai Dragon Chilli... hot, reliable cropper in the UK.
Inferno Chilli... mildish, large Hungarian Hot Wax type, superb reliable
cropper.
Bullhorn Mixed Peppers... certainly worth trying.
