Other diary years to look at:

A few hot ones this year mixed in with some windowsill ornamentals. The chinense varieties are mostly Trinidad types.
Mustard Habanero: (capsicum chinense) This is a rare Habanero. Large plant (18-32") produce high yields of peach-colored fruits.
White Habanero: (capsicum chinense) Small bushy chilli plants produce very high yields of fiery hot chili peppers of a lantern shape with a creamy/white coloured skin. A Caribbean variety, a favourite for its smokey taste and extreme heat.
Pyramid: (capsicum annuum) Early ornamental and hot. Compact plant producing small, conical, yellow fruits with lilac shading, turning red when ripe, ideal for the conservatory or hot sunny windowsill.
Etna: (capsicum annuum) An early, hot Italian chilli pepper. Compact plant which produces bunches of conical dark green fruits which grow upwards, turning bright red when ripe.
Firecracker Pequin: (capsicum annuum) These striking multi-branching multi coloured plants with their brilliant coloured hot spicy fruits. Plants are soon covered with little cream, purple and orange that slowly mature to red.
Demon Red: (capsicum annuum) Bred for growing on a windowsill or in patio containers. Attractive, very dwarf plants, for edible and ornamental use. The flowers and upward pointing fruits which start green and turn bright red, are produced throughout the season.
Chinese Pot Chilli: (capsicum annuum) Hundreds of chillis per plant. Tiny ½" long fruits all point up and ripen from green to red and and stay on the plant for a long time. Great for drying and grinding or using whole. ideal for the conservatory or hot sunny windowsill.
Pusa Jwala: (capsicum annuum) Popular Indian hot pepper. This variety is also often called Finger Hot Indian Pepper. The umbrella type plant produces lots of fruits in green colour in early stage and later turning into red ripe. The matured hot pepper has high pungency, excellent to use fresh or dried. The fruit with wrinkled skin is about 4" in length.
Purrira: (capsicum frutescens) These bushy plants grow to 18–24" and produce a profusion of 2in long conical shaped hot fruits that grow upright on the plant. The medium thick fleshed pods start off yellow and have a purple mottling before maturing to an orange/red colour.
Trinidad Congo: (capsicum chinense) In Trinidad, Habanero pepper relatives are called 'Congo peppers' and this one is an extra-large red Habanero type. At 2 inches long and wide, its peppers are significantly bigger and more ribbed than the typical red Habanero. They are also intensely hot and extremely productive, with large harvests of peppers.
Trinidad Perfume: (capsicum chinense) This Habanero type variety produces 1 to 1.5 inch long by 1 to 1.25in wide 'turks cap' type pods which matures from green to bright yellow. The pods have a fantastic aroma and good smoky flavour with no heat.
Yellow Trinidad: (capsicum chinense) Produces heavy set of 1-2 inch wrinkled deep orange-yellow fruits with very hot and strong smokey flavor.
7 Pod: (capsicum chinense) This variety is from the Chaguanas area of Trinidad and is extremely rare. In Caribbean regions it is also known as 7 pot as one pod is said to provide enough heat to spice up 7 pots of stew. Pods are Habanero like in there shape but have the characteristic 'pimpling' as found on another fearsome variety - the Naga Morich.
Trinidad Scorpion: (capsicum chinense) The plants are tall, upright and reasonably productive bearing 2 to 3inch long pendant pods which taper to a sharp pointed 'tail'. The pods mature from green to orange and finally red.

Aug 28: As can be seen the 7 Pod is starting to ripen well with a huge crop, with a few of the Trinidad Scorpions just showing signs of turning on the first few smaller ones. All the types grown hydroponically have now reached the greenhouse roof, and bursting with chillis, requiring constant nutrient top ups and stringing up to keep them up.

(Don't think these are true 7 pod, see later on variety as I am growing from 2 different sources)

Sept 20: The 7 pod (right) seems to more genuine with its dimpled skin than the earlier displayed photos which are now questionable, if they are even 7 pod as I was given the plant earlier in the season.

There is now an enormous amount of good sized chillis on all the hydroponically grown plants this year with the majority now starting to ripen.

Sep 27: Still slow progress even though the last week of September was fairy warm. Pot plants are beginning to suffer from the cold with yellowing leaves and dying back branches, but still picking chillis from them. All the hydroponic plants have had a drastic deleafing (above) to let in more light and free flowing of air to keep mildew down, still plenty of fruit to ripen on these.

Left can be seen various stages of ripening of a Trinidad Scorpion, it seems to like ripening from top to bottom, underneath Mustard Habanero, Red Congo and Trinidad Perfume.

The Mustard Habanero's are growing into all shapes from round ones to longer types with scorpion like tails on them all on the same plant. (see below)

Oct 25: Two hard frosts this week, needing to de-ice the car in the mornings, so time is now running out, just had a pick of all the hot ones as they are still going strong. Will clear the potted plants out this weekend, leaving just the hydro plants at the end of the greenhouse.
Greenhouse clean and scrub down time looming and a think of next years varieties, introducing 2 more NFT tanks as they seem to easily outstrip the soil grown plants for size and fruiting especially in the poorer Summers.
