2021 grow list

SC / All

Can you recommend any chilli's or sweet peppers that do reasonably well outside please?

If it's none fair enough!!

Sweet Chocolate and Amy (both sweet peppers) did OK for me outside last year. Etiuda was worse off but I still got a few fruit. They did really well early in the summer but when the wet, cooler weather came they were much less productive. They would do much better under a low tunnel.

The only chilli I've grown outside is Alberto's Locoto Rocoto and that was only because it was getting too gangly for the greenhouse. It actually set fruit much better outside, it seems like the greenhouse was too hot for proper pollination. The branches are quite fragile and will snap in high winds though. It'll go in a bigger pot next year and will have a wire cage for support.
