Just about to start my seeds off for this year and was wondering what everyone else will be growing?
I'm starting with: cayenne
naga jolokia (hydroponically)
jalapeno
orange habanero
corno de toro
paper lantern
aji crystal

corno del toro is a mild stuffing pepper, there's bell peppers and mini bells which are a small bushy plant

Anyone grown them using hydroponics/aquaculture? Thinking about growing some in caddies in my open top aquarium, are there varieties that don't mind having their feet wet?

I'd start them off somewhere else though, as I imagine seeds would just rot if submerged.

I've grown a few varieties hydroponically, it's not that hard and you get a lot less pests than in soil. I'm going for naga jolokia and paper lanterns in water this year

. Start the seeds off in rockwool cubes.

Has anyone tried to grow a bonchi? ( Bonsai Chili )

Edit : Example

I like the thought of a bonsai chilli but not sure i'd have the patience for it.

Got my first lot popping up, even with the snow coming down
