Choose fruity and totally delightful Aji Delight (Capsicum baccatum). These are thick walled, 7-10cm long red chillies that are packed full of flavour with the merest hint of warmth (500-2000 SHU). Slice into salads or use instead of peppers in your dishes to explore their depth of flavour. Vigorous plants will give a good sized crop
SOW: can be started from February with warmth or 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. Aji Delight will continue to produce lots of bullet shaped thick fleshed chillies until the first frosts.
ENJOY: slice into salads or use instead of peppers in your dishes to explore their depth of flavour. Chillies freeze well.
