What pepper are you looking forward to? - Page 2

ScottinAtlanta · January 3, 2016

I am widening my habanero plantings. Big Sun Hab and Chocolate Hab are probably the two best peppers ever for pico de gallo. I find habs to be a good compromise between the superhot and the boring.

Gerardo · January 3, 2016

Only growing 6 peppers next year, 2 plants each. Aji Amarillo, Bulgarian Carrot, Czech Black, Nardello, Padron, TS Morouga.

Space saved will be used for watermelons.

Peppers are destined for salsa and beans for the most part, nothing will be wasted.

The TS Morouga has a very special purpose, there's a man who married into my extended family and he loves to talk.... boast about his abilities to handle spicy food, and when I see him I have to listen and endure due to family ties. It's been 5 years of this. TS Morouga will allow me to make him a very special salsa, lovingly crafted in his honor, with thick gloves, carefully designed to say hello to the crypts in his intestine. muahahahahahahah.

Gonna buy a heat pad to make sure everyone germinates adequately.

I would love to be a fly on the wall.

Gerardo, at that "Muhahahahaha" I really did laugh out loud!

BigVanVader · January 3, 2016

I had never heard of the Elephant Ears, they look like a great sweet pepper sub for typical bell peppers. Gonna have to get some of those.

Big Sun did amazingly well for me here. Seemed later than other Habs but worth the wait.

Zeedman · January 5, 2016

Last year, I had a sport appear in the Pizza peppers; heart shaped, very thick walled, and quite spicy. I saved seed from them & will be growing a fairly large planting, in hopes of stabilizing those qualities. Will also be growing a sample of PI 315008 from the USDA, to compare it against the sample from SSE that I grew out last year... it did really well, but I want to verify whether the wide variability that I observed is inherent to the accession, or whether crosses might have been introduced. Other than that, I will be waiting for the SSE Yearbook, to see what might have appeared there from my wish list.

Fiishergurl · January 7, 2016

I only grew shi-shi-tos and some type of Italian Frying Pepper (that's what it was named) before. This year I'm growing...

Aji Amarillo
Cajun Belle
Giant Marconi
Peperoni Di Senise
Jimmy Nardello
Corno Di Toro Giallo
Coban Red Pimiento
Padron
Numex Jo E Parker

Forgot Datil... :-)

Excited to try them all!!

I was trying to find Donkey Ears, and must have had one Rum Punch too many because I ordered some and when they came in they were Elephant Ears... lol. I looked back at the order and I had indeed ordered Elephant Ears seeds when I already had some. Long story short, if you want some PM me because I have extra.

I have been so limited to the number of peppers I could grow since I was a contract seed grower for Datil peppers. This year I decided to stop doing that so I could grow more. Chile peppers are the 2016 herb of the year and my elderly friend that owns an herb farm hates starting seeds so I agreed to do it and my original list grew much larger than planned.

Bhut Jolokia
Buena Mulata (Purple Pippen)
Bullnose
Carolina Reaper
Chocolate Bhut Jolokia
Chocolate Habanero
Datil
Fatali
Hungarian Hot Wax
Jalapeno
Leutschauer Paprika
Lipstick
Long Red Cayene
Mulato Isleno
Numex Heritage
Red Thai
Scotch Bonnet
Serano
Shi shi to
Sweet Datil

I am going to isolate the Carolina Reaper to save seeds since they were so expensive but that is the only pepper seeds saving this year. That is going to be a nice change for me.

PaulF · January 8, 2016

Sweet peppers here only and looking forward to success with:

Aconcagua
Cubanelle
Giant Marconi

I would love to have yellow and red peppers, but with the short growing season for peppers all I really ever get in green ones. I read somewhere the mid-west is not the right place to have peppers ripen. True or not?

kayrobbins · January 8, 2016

I forgot to include Rocoto to my list. I started those 5 months ago and with the mild winter I have been able to leave them outside so I almost forget about them.

PaulF, I remembered seeing a discussion about short season peppers. Maybe this will help.

Kay,

How do you start the rocotos? Ive tried a few times and havent had any luck with them sprouting. Is there a way you do it that gives them the boost? How long for them to sprout?
