Orange Habanero, bought from my local chilli farm and didn't grow for weeks, recently flowered though and has baby chillies on it.

Dorset Naga, should beinteresting to try these :twisted:

Also got some sweet Peppers on the go.

Ones in front are Joes Long Cayenne and the ones behind are i think Anahiem chillies, aka "Big Red" folks bought one back from mexico so i kept the seeds and planted them.

To give you an idea of the size of a "Big Red".

This was a freebie as it was in with the Orange Habanero, no idea what it is, looks a bit like the Prairie Fire / Hot Patio Sizzle but with longer thinner fruit.

And finally the pot closest produced the "Mutant" from one of the plants, again no idea what they are was given a few plants last year and kept a few seeds. The rear pot has Hot Cayenne plants in it, more or less finished fruiting now though.

Yeah thats right i used a pair of binoculars in front of the lens on my 1000d :|

How hot and spicy are these chillies you are growing??

[mac124]

From quite mild to OMFG!!

Google Dorset Naga ;)

Sweet jebus!

From www.dorsetnaga.com (http://www.dorsetnaga.com/)



most recently, in 2008 the crop was tested at 921,081 Scoville Heat Units (SHU).

To put these figures in context, a Jalapeño chilli – considered hot by many people – has a heat level of around 10,000 SHU.

So that's only 92.12 times hotter than a Jalapeño then!

[mac124]

Yup quite warm then :D

On the wider stage Jalapeno's are actually quite mild, have a look at this table, i got a few of the sauces on there too.

So how do I go about getting some of the OMFG Dorset Naga of you then??

[mac124]

You could try tescos, seriously they have started stocking them in some stores.

I only have the 1 plant, atm, so will be keeping most of the fruit for their seeds.

[coiler]

Mac thats very impressive!

I think my lack of glass house has not done me any favours.

Got loads of Padrons (of spanish olive oil fry add some salt fame) although they grown big very fast so are a bit too spicy for tradional Padron De Piamentos.

My sweet Corno De Torro's have had like 3 peppers turn red so far, and some got eaten by bugs.

The Peruvian Purples have stayed purple and don't taste of much, but my Fresno's are doing very well in the plastic greenhouse and got loads of red crop now. :thumbsup:

[alexnifty]

Hrmm, I might have to get into this Chilli malarkey. Opposite to overclocking; you want high temps.

[coiler]

LOL!

check my Chille Farm out... (pics take a month ago - after a July of rain!)

Some strange cross between a Peruvian purples and a Halabeno I think >>> (most resilient to bugs and yellow leaves etc)

So on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being almost blind.

If i was to get one of these and rub my finger on it and inside it and then rub my finger in my mate's eye, how much would it hurt???

I have seen the affects of this being done using a Jalapeno and it looked like it stung a bit.

[mac124]

I'm guessing it would smart a bit. Go on youtube and look for chilli man, he tests a few chilli's / sauces. Some of his vids are quite funny.

[mac124]

Supposedly someone eating a dorset naga, i am at work atm though so can't view it.
