God I love growing our own

You may remember I managed to overwinter a chillie plant... one out of about 8 that survived well into the winter. All the rest did not restart in spring ... Well... its fruiting and the chillies are now turning red... BUT ... I have no idea what variety they are and more importantly what heat they are....any ideas ?

They look like habanero peppers.

Oh dear .. I think you might be right - 100,000 – 350,000 Scoville !! I'm frightened to even touch them ...

Habaneros are not that smooth in my experience; they have a more "wrinkled" shape. Yours look more like one of the "cherry" varieties to me. I doubt they'd be as hot as a habanero, but depending on variety they might vary from a bit less hot than a jalapeno to a bit hotter than a jalapeno.

We always plant too many chillies, been giving them to our village shop to sell on. Bags of mixed tomatoes on the gate are selling well. And , at last, after three months of none ....... WE HAVE RAIN...... everything was dying,
