200 damn! Always up for a chilli swap :) Are you putting in ground or pots?
I’ve found the habs and cayenne don’t produce the same amount or grow back as big. The thais seem like troopers. Overwinter very well, decent heat and have a longer season (although start a bit later).
I don’t have a car so it would be pick up only and I’m starting from seed and even with 3 seeds per cell, with exotics and unstable varieties you know how that goes… So 200 rapidly becomes 90 and I wanna keep 60. Or 200 becomes 200 and I’m up shit creek and need more friends haha.
Pots and in true Northcote hipster style - glass jars, which surprisingly work great for smaller varieties. I’ve found that pequins for example thrive in tiny jars or pots and look gorgeous littered around the house. Although… I have had to release ladybirds inside before to deal with aphids lol.
My Thai ones seem to only produce about 25% the following year so I think I’m going to give up on over wintering unless I try and bonchi again. Everything is from scratch this year as I couldn’t look after them last season, barring one indoors one which refuses to die (some purple exotic and bird eye level heat).
