Our Feedback
I've just read your little thing about being organic or not on your website and I'd like to congratulate you on being such a breath of fresh air! I'm a keen gardener and also a geneticist and I get so frustrated with the way people who know nothing about things confuse matters by using scientific terms incorrectly. "Organic" is a prime example of this, and it's wonderful that there are still people out there who will not jump on the PC bandwagon and are willing to stand up and put something honest out there for all to see! You cannot imagine how impressed I am with you, congratulations and a big heartfelt "thank you"!

How Hot Is That?...Chilli Pepper Heat Guide
Supplied as a packet of approximately 10 seeds.
This Product is Available Now.A recent introduction from our friends at the Chilli Pepper Institute of New Mexico State University (CPI), this improves on one of the classic and best-known varieties of chilli in that fruits are larger and fleshier. Whilst perfect for eating fresh or cooking with, this variety really comes into its own when making sauces as the additional size and fleshiness of these peppers means you need fewer of them!
The fruits are around 6-8" (15-20 cm) long and 1" (2.5 cm) thick; fruits can be harvested green or allowed to mature to a rich red colour.
The compact but bushy plant grows to around 3 feet (90 cm) tall with a similar spread.
