This year's Chillies

Now the chilli plants for the greenhouse are repotted in their buckets, here is a list of the varieties I'm trying this year.

• Jalapeno (2)
  
• Apache (2)
  
• Habanero (2)
  
• Scotch Bonnet (2)
  
• Super Chilli
• Ring of Fire
• Peach Habanero (2)
  
• Numex Suave Orange (2)
  
• Zimbabwe Bird
• Demon Red (3)
  
• Fatalii (2)
  
• Pasila Bajio
• Yellow Mushroom/Yellow Squash (2)
  
• Cheyenne (4)
  
• Fresno Supreme
• Hot Lemon
• Nepalese Bell
• Yellow Bumpy
• Eve's Apple
• Wenk's Yellow Hot (2)
  
• Friar's Hat
• Aji Brazilian Bonanza
• Orozco
• Monkey Face

Also hope to be growing Super Chilli, Ring of Fire and Jalapeno plants outside.

The plants seem to be growing fast, probably because of the very hot, sunny weather recently. Several already have flower buds, and the Cheyenne plants have flowers and a couple of tiny green fruits.

Some of the varieties are supposed to be good for over-wintering, and I hope to give that a try (after failing last year by forgetting to water my fatalii plant!). It seems Friar's Hat, Orozco, Aji Brazilian Bonanza, Fatalii, Hot Lemon and Zimbabwe Bird are all worth trying, so I'll have to see how many I can bring indoors at the end of the season! Over-wintering will give a plant that fruits earlier and more heavily the next year, as it's already established.
