My chilli plants

[suityou01]

And here are the seeds.

Great to cook in Salsa's

Woofter.

Mine went in today Soupy.

Including but not limited to :

Ring of fire
White and chocolate habanero
Birds eye
Monkey face
Scotch bonnet
Purple Cayenne
Dorset Naga

Most of those are in a heated incubator in my office, and I put the rad on in there.

I have an overflow propagator in the airing cupboard.

Several green shoots waiting to break the surface are now visible on only 5 days. I would say heated propagators are a good idea for quick germination of chilli seeds.

First one's up are the "Ring of fire". Very keen they are

How many chilli plants does one need? I have three growing - actually left from last year as they sprouted so late they've been wintering in the living room - and thought a single plant would produce a pretty big crop?

I've never grown them before, are they single-crop plants or will they live multiple years as long as you can keep them safe from frost?

multiple years, but its more fun to start afresh each year

I read after 3 years they are better thrown away and start over. Years 2 and 3 you are supposed to get better crops.

you are probably right about that. but I just like growing seeds

it must be my maternal instinct

That's a small ding a ling you have.

I planted chillis once they failed I gave up.

They're the one thing which is failing to grow properly for me... radishes, carrots, spinach, onions and peas are all growing strongly but last year's chilli plant is just sitting there refusing to grow or die.
