Yep, great climate for growing them here! I get fresh chillies from June to Nov-Dec at a push outside.
The chilli you mentioned is berbere hot which is used in Moroccan cooking, striking pods! What chillies do you like growing?

this year i grew jalapeños, red cherry hot, scotch bonnets, habañeros, purple beauty (which wasn't hot at all!), fresno and some that i cant rememeber what they're called cos they're from saved seed. tried doing a lot more sweet peppers this year but didnt really get much of a yield because of the good old british climate - the corno di torro were not the corno's of any kind of torro! - but the chillies as always did fabulously!! do u sell your products?

Yep but I only tend to send seeds abroad because the postage is soooooooooooooooo expensive here at 10 times the price. I'm waiting to get distribution in the UK come summer fingers crossed! check out http://www.allchillies.com
