O know you can grow your own chilli's in the uk.
But I was wondering what a good variety to pot inside which grows up2 2ft tall?

And has a really good flavour, don't mind what heat it is, there's so many varieties available.
 
Mate of mine also grows them in his little conservatory thingy. I think hes a bit of a gayer but he gets results.

He is offshore at the moment but will ask him in his next Email

most likely a similar vairety to Mr and Mrs Gillys.
 
Got a Scotch Bonnet plant here, very easy to keep happy - which is useful when you're as adept at killing plants as I am! Dad grows a couple of different kinds as well, when I head back to Burton at the weekend I'll ask him what he's currently growing.

I believe my mum did Habeneros and is attempting scotch bonnets in the new year. they came out really well (had about 6 jars worth)

These were done in a green house though - i'll ask her in the morning if they can be grown indoors in a kitchen or similar.

well I only do things by impulse.

SO

Peach Habanero Chilli Seeds Heat Level 10++

This is an ideal Habanero chili plant for in the house or on the office desk, compact 16-18" plants are absolutely loaded with peach-coloured fruits. (Capsicum Chinense)

Thai Dragon Heat LEVEL:7

Red Thai Dragon chillis are 3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide and about 6 times hotter than Jalapenos. Two foot Thai Dragon pepper plants are high yielding, with a strong well-branched habit to support the heavy fruit set. Each plant can produce 150 to 200 chillis! Very good flavour. Use Thai Dragon fresh or hang up its heavy branches of ripe chilli fruits to easily air dry for a colourful and abundant supply all year long. (Capsicum frutescens)

Fatalii Heat LEVEL:10+

The Fatalii is a Habañero relative, but the fruit matures to bright yellow and is long, wrinkled and tapers to a point - about 2 to 3 inches long. The plants produce lots of peppers - they start producing early and finish late. Fatalii's have a fruity, almost citrus-like flavour and they make a very attractive-coloured hot sauce. (Capsicum Chinense)

Hot Cherry Chilli Pepper Heat Level 7+++

A great tasting chilli and perfect for barbeques and parties. 1.5 to 2" wide mature to bright red. Great for stuffing with cheese and grilling or for adding to salads and salsas. Upright plants to 20". Good yields. (Capsicum annuum)

And as it came to over £5 they throw in Hungarian Hot Chilli Seeds & Jalapeno chilli seeds.

Wont have room to grow all of them so, I'll plant them all up and see what I can do. 2 in my bedroom, 1 in the kitchen. must be able to squeeze 1 in the lounge..

Also would still be intrested in what all your relatives are growing.

Mmmmmmmmmm, chilli. Massive fan. Not only that, when I started studying neuroscience I had to investigate the effects of capsaicin on neurotransmitters. Have a read up on it, it's interesting stuff. As a side note, anyone interested in diabetes research might find it wholely useful.

Ahhh, I love it when food and work can be drawn together :D
