Went for hot. I have since researched and established that they were capsicum annum cayenne, just nice for a curry, I put 3 or 4 whole into a slow cooked curry, or if I’m making a chilli con carne I chop up 3 and put them in, they say in my chilli bible (RHS red hot chilli grower) that’s they are 30-50,000 SHU, I think more like 20-30,000. I love licking my finger so for hours after i have chopped them up. BTW they freeze great whole, I keep them in a zip lock bag.(07-10-2020, 06:51 PM)Can the Man Wrote: I really liked my Killian and Lemonella so I will grow again, definitely not joe longs or apricot, not sure about apple crisp have yet to use them, a number of them became infected with some kind of burrowing insect in the fruit. Don’t know about my yellow bumpy yet, there’s a good crop of fruit but they are still green and I will definitely grow some more capsicums they were great, still producing fruit. I would like to try some scotch bonnets next year.CTM what variety of capsicums did you like? They're on my list for next year too.
