Wow, those look great, I like the look of the purple ones, I'm not keen on really hot chillies. Let me know if/when you might have seeds.

Hiya Kathy, soon as I can dry some will PM you and send you some seeds.
I've found that air drying the whole chilli's for seeds is the best way, at the moment these black ones are very "fleshy" or rather pithy in the middles at the moment, I'm assumeing their not 100% mature as yet, they have a quite mild (to my taste buds anyway  ) flavour. Hopefully all will go well with this experiment and I'll post seeds as soon as .
The Piri Piri (I think) plant I forgot to post I grew them from seeds dried from the Indian shop It is matureing quite nicely so will have some spare seeds really soon for them but their very hot  .

Today got a wonderful prezzie offa good friend of mine talk about a chilli addicts dream (and I am a chilli addict !)
A great selection Pincchios Nose, Cheyenne, Jalapeno, Cherry Bomb, Alberto's hocoto and 2 that I've yet to identify
I'm going to dry most of them for the seed's and use the flesh obviously in cooking and a few homemade salts. Below's a pic taken today of Richie's "willy's" his sister sent him 5 seeds for his birthday and all have come up! well chuffed

I've never really taken much notice of chillis before, those look great and have inspired me to learn more!
