This is the first season I've been growing these varieties so I can't
comment with any certainty about the reason for it going so well. The mild
weather may have been a factor, plus the fact that I've been making use of
both the greenhouse & the conservatory, I haven't used any extra lighting
however. The Chinense varieties have been no problem at all in my area
(Hertfordshire), nonetheless I've already got some Rocoto seeds to try out
for next season (thanks for the tip though).
FWIW, here's the full list of what managed to grow for me, if anyone wants
to correct me on my semi-guesswork species guide then please do (nb. 'pj'
means from Pepperjoe's, otherwise from Tough Love apart from the Thai Dragon
& Hungarian Hot Wax, which came from a friend).
