CHILLI SERRANO TAMPIQUENO ~ packs a hot punch whether green or red reaching 8000-23000 on Scoville scale 10 seeds
SOW: from mid-April to end of May, indoors in a warm soil in trays or modules barely covering the seeds as they need light to germinate.
GROW: when they reach the 2/3 leaf stage they can be planted into a greenhouse or hardened off and put outside in a warm sheltered spot. You can grow them in the soil in a container or in a grow bag. Plants can grow to 75cm
EAT: Tampiqueno fruits have thicker walls and are a little larger than a classic Serrano (Hildago) with a distinctive pungency. They are very versatile so you can dry them, pickle them, and use in sauces, salsa, stews, curries & so on. Chillies freeze well.
