Using excess Chillies hints

You can never have too many chillies in my opinion but just in case

Linking this from another Blog that I found.

Semaroh Sweet Peppers - great crop.

So this was the first year growing Semaroh Sweet Peppers for me. 
Got the seeds from Real Seeds (www.realseeds.co.uk)

The story behind this fine pepper is that in Czechoslovakia there was once a breeding program aiming to improve on the traditional chilli 'Palivec', and it actually generated a pair of new pepper varieties - one hot, the other sweet.
This one, Semaroh, is the sweet one. It is classed as being "early and productive, with lots of long sweet peppers with a goats-horn shape" and I can certainly attest to the productive part!!
Somewhat slow to ripen from the attractive early light green colour, these chillies adorn the plant which looks brilliant weighed down with them.
A definite must grow again for me in 2017.....
MUST ADD TASTE REPORT !!

Ohnivec chilli - great crop 2016

Picture

2016 was the first year growing Ohnivec chillies for me and what a surprise...
Plants were laden with long beautiful looking chillies as you can see. 
These will ripen to red eventually and will be very hot!!.

I got the seeds from Real Seeds (www.realseeds.co.uk)
Real Seeds say: "This large chilli from the Czech Republic is undoubtedly the biggest hot chilli we have ever had - loaded with fruit, almost a foot long and 2 inches wide, starting out a wonderful pale yellow, and ripening through orange to red.
They are completely mild when yellow, but don't say we didn't warn you - they really are extremely hot once ripened to orange."

A definite grow again in 2017!!

Sante Fe Chilli - great crop
