RE: The Spoils of Summer Have Arrived - Garden Abundance
Hi @kristaluton, do you let your chilis ripen? Some chilis don't get as spicy until they ripen. Also do you save your own seeds or did you get seeds from a reputable source? If you or your seed source saved seeds that were near non spicy peppers they may have crossed and lost their spiciness in the hybridization.
I think we have done a bit of both: some saved, some bought, just from garden centres in the UK. And we definitely have some probs with hybridisation, some of them turned into half bell peppers half chilis! So interesting. We keep the different types pretty separate now. Getting some pretty spicy habaneros coming out of the garden now though! I hope this continues. Thanks! xxx
