You're not alone Mamzie, I haven't either.
You can both start  Big Grin .


Not going to happen, don't know what to do with one, let alone a bush of them.  Occasionally use bog standard chilli flakes ( don't shudder SC) for a bit of heat in cooking, but apart from that not too keen on fiery flavours.  But still find it fascinating reading about you enthusiasts.

Pitiful excuses  Rolleyes  Wink ! You could grow a Low or no heat variety ( there’s lots to choose from). Chillies doesn’t have to blow your head off. 
Even veggie ( the woman who is scared of them ) has been persuaded in the past to grow no heat chillies   Cool . I believe she tolerated the no heat jalapeños    Shy  . 

I’ll let you into a little secret. I don’t like hot chillies!

Firstly SC, a no heat chilli? Surely that's an oxymoron. Or perhaps a sweet pepper? Secondly, if you can recommend a mild chilli and what to use it for, then I might try next year, it's too late now isn't it? You never know you might convert me.

Freeze them and use them straight from the freezer, that's what I do.

Great news, Joy Michaud from Sea Spring Seeds has been in contact with me, she is replacing the 2 chilli plants Tinkerbell & Spaghetti free of charge, she is also sending me some sweet pepper plants that I tried add to my chilli order but she missed my email. I am really impressed with their customer service.

I’ve been in contact with Joy a few times and met her once. She really does care & know about her chillies.
Sea spring will always be my first recommendations to anyone.

I think it was a reference from you on the dark side that introduced me to them. I will order my plugs earlier of her next year so I can have a longer growing period in the poly tunnel.
