Peppers ripen so slow.

I guess it's a good thing though. A Sweet Banana and Carmen that are starting to color up now will still be ready for me when I get back from Orlando.

I just finished planting my peppers in the ground and in containers. I planted around 125-150 peppers total. Probably 100+ different varieties. It was a LOT of work. Looking forward to the results though when the season picks up. I live in Michigan. Our weather has been pretty nice lately.

Is there some kind of Kung Pao festival going on, or am I the last one to grow it!

Got Kung Pao to spare form two plants, oodles of them, very good flavour, excellent culinary hottie for asian dishes. Recommended: 8.5/10. Also Ring of Fire is on par, but perhaps a tad hotter. Very good flavour. All told, I still have about 30 loaded pepper plants and more pepper products in my fridge than anything else? Beware the excess

Well I’ve been meaning to post in this thread for a long time. I started a new bed this year devoted to a few eggplants (6) and about 35 pepper plants. Here are the varieties I planted this year.

Aji Orchard
Alma Paprika
Anaheim Chile
Ancho
Ariane
Banana Bill Hyb
Fat & Sassy
Feherozon
Fish
Frank's
Georgescu Chocolate
Golden Treasure Sweet
Jimmy Nardello
Lipstick
Marconni Rosso
Pimento de Padron
Pimiento Elite Hyb
Pimiento L
Red Belgian
Sweet Cayenne
Solonovo Uvo (Elephant Ear)
Tangerine Pimento
The Big Early Hybrid
Wenk's Yellow Hots
Yellow Miniature Bell

Jeanne (montanamato)- I know you are suppose to know something about the varieties you plant but I got Frank’s in a trade with you but can’t find anything about it. Can you (or anyone else) tell me what to expect?

Jerry...Seed is from Sand Hill, and it is a dwarf pepper. Very early and a good producer of Italian frying type peppers...I use them fresh too...Not as thin walled as Jimmy Nardello, but not as thick as a bell...I have 2 Frank's in my cold frame loaded with small peppers already...
MDVPC (Michael) , posted some pictures of the plant and pepper in this pepper forum awhile ago too...

I picked the first couple of ripe Carmen peppers a few days ago, roasted them for a pasta dish. Mm! I'm very pleased with the taste. I'm especially pleased because this is the first time I've ever gotten ripe peppers out of my garden. In the past, providing the plants didn't die before flowering, I would be lucky to get an undersized, bitter little fruit that seemed permanently green.

This is far and away the earliest I've ever picked a pepper that had turned all the way red but I did on Friday. It was a Melrose and it was really good. I didn't bother cooking it, though as a frying pepper, I'm sure it's good that way, too. I have two plants and they are both loaded. I think this one's a keeper.

And one of my old favorites, Doe Hill, is doing great too. Lots of fruit on those plants but none turning yellow yet. This has been a really reliable variety for me in the past so no worries there.

I have two Tennesee Cheese plants but only one pepper between the two, but surprisingly, it's turning red too!

I have several varieties of seasoning and hot peppers but out of these, only Mirasol has set any fruit so far.

I've been picking peppers off my two Carmen plants at the rate of 5-7 per week and there are plenty of greenies waiting to ripen. I have been so impressed with this pepper. I will definitely grow it again next year.

I've picked loads of Melrose this week from just two plants. I've had a few Tennessee Cheese and some Doe Hills. Picked my first two Mirasols yesterday.
