Chimayo Pepper chilli seeds give pods of almost 10 cm – properly substantial,
and perfect for stuffing and grilling.
This is a fairly unusual variety that is hard to get hold of.
The pods are also excellent for drying and making into powder.

Sow in moist seed compost or peat pellets and keep warm, at around 25–30°C for best germination.
The compost should be moist but not wet.
A propagator helps to keep the humidity up.
Once the seedlings have grown a little and developed their second pair of leaves, you can lower the temperature to around 20°C and move them out of the propagator.
They do well on a sunny windowsill, in a greenhouse and outdoors in summer.
For best results, soak the seeds in Growhelper for 12–24 hours before sowing.
