Cheers, sent my details. Never had anything hotter than a birdeye so this should be entertaining if it's not too late this year
Heres my mini windowsill garden
From left to right we have cat nip, De Cayenne chilli, strawberries and mange-to, sunflowers and pumpkins.
The chillis, planted on 18-03-10 in wet kitchen towel till they germinated and then potted on the 26th

I sent an email a few weeks back, it mustn't have reached you. Will try again in a sec as i wouldn't mind trying to grow a hotter chili to go with my milder cayennes

I've chucked away my jalapenos that I started to grow last year, but still have my little tepin growing.
I've sowed some bird's eye seeds last week, but they still haven't germinated, any idea on how long they usually take? I have them nice and damp in the airing cupboard at the moment.
How big is the bush of the nagas? I'm looking to grow in a window box, so can't have a massive sprawling affair.

Not sure if trimming the bush would work either

Very nice Justin!
I've just been given a bottle of colon blow out chilli sauce, my god this is hot stuff, I'm glad I'm not growing anything too hot now!
*edit*
I've been stupid, got some on my eyelid, really should have washed my hands afterwards, it burns..
