Our Feedback
I have just tried growing your Victorian colossal pea, with fantastic results.
We have a small garden and my wife found these thinking we would get more for the same space as the 'normal' peas. Problem is they are so heavily laden with pods they are tearing from the support frame and I have had to tie them up with soft string. A problem that is very welcome. I have just sown more in the greenhouse to plant out for a later crop. I have also tried your coloured carrots but too soon to try, but I will be ordering more seeds and greater variety in the future.
Best wishes

How Hot Is That?...Chilli Pepper Heat Guide
Supplied as a packet of approximately 8 seeds.
This Product is Available Now.This is arguably one of the best-looking Chillies there is; in our opinion it is the best-looking!
" (2 cm) diameter by roughly " (2 cm) bell-shaped fruits mature from dark purple to an almost iridescent pale pink. Hanging from the plant in clumps they really do look stunning - though they do tend to hang under the canopy of the foliage so this is potentially a plant to grow on a bench or similar so you can see them from below.
The fruits have a very sweet, fruity flavour, very similar to the Habanero - though the heat is noticeably less intense.
Growing to around 3 feet (90 cm) tall and with a compact habit this is a lovely variety to grow. Similarly, it is a variety that lends itself well for bonsai.
To ensure good germination a constant compost temperature of 82° - 86° f (28° - 30° C) is recommended. Germination can be slow and take three weeks or more.
