I grew scotch bonnets last year but to be honest they was too hot for general cooking. Jalepenos i grew wernt spicy :eek:

Looking for a rich fruity chili with mild heat 40-75,000 scoville units?

What would you recommend?

get a superf1 chilli plant, grows blooming hundreds and are quite hot, not to hot.

Go to Aldi and you can buy four Apache plants for about £2.50. About four inches tall already so no hassle.

Ordered Ancho and cherry bomb to get started with.

Will see what my local garden center has again this year.

Apache are versatile and easy to grow. I like Cayenne peppers too - nice shape and easy to dry.

Did cherry bombs last year they grew really well out of all the others I did, got a crop of them going again this year.

What kind of heat in relation to a Jalepeno?

They as rich and fruity as made out to be?

Yeah they are sweeter than a jalepeno

I love the lemon drops. Awesome chilli. So fruity and pack a punch but not too much for a mere mortal.
