Default 2015 Pepper list

I've seen lots of tomato lists, what peppers are on your grow lists this year?
Here are mine:

Sweets:
Red Ruffled
Sweet Apple
Marconi
King of the North
Feher Ozon

Spicy :
Numex big Jim
Numex orange sauve
Aji Colorado
Chocolate cherry bomb
Leutschauer paprika

As you can see, I am not a fan of really hot peppers but I had one empty cell and chose Tshololo, a hot orange Chili from Brazil that has purple foliage. Why not, I figure I should grow one superhot and this one is unusual.

I grow my peppers in pots or in the greenhouse, I find peppers in general don't do well outdoors in my garden here.

I'm still a month away from starting seeds but I got a tentative list going:

Bell Peppers

California Wonder
Purple Beauty
Red Bull F1

Hot Peppers

Biker Billy Jalapeño
Jaloro Jalapeño
Jalmundo Jalapeño
El Jefe Jalapeño
Mammoth Jalapeño
Jaluv N Attitude Jalapeño
Heritage Big Jim Chile
NuMex Joe E Parker Chile
Mirasol(Pueblo Chile)
Devil's Kiss
Fresno
Santa Fe Grande
Triple Hot Habanero
Caribbean Red Habanero
West African Red

All of these are used to spice up and add color to a number of canning recipes such as salsa, pepper relish, Ro-Tel knockoff and Habanero Gold jelly. If only thinking about the heat from the "hots" would melt the snow on the ground, I would be happy!

I'm trying to improve my pepper growing skills.

For Chile powder
Anaheim
Corno di toro
Looking for some pablano seeds

Hot sauce
Orange Habanero
Serrano

Pickled
Greek pepperoncini

Sweets
Cal wonder
China giant

For those growing in containers/bags please list your mix. I have given up trying to grow them in my alkaline soil. Last year I had good results in SWC with 50/50 mushroom compost and peat. I might try a little vinegar water since my well water ph is 8.4

For grow bags I've been using three parts Miracle Grow Potting Mix (not Moisture Control) and one part bagged composted cow manure. This year I'm thinking of giving Wonder Soil a try.

Karen,

The Biker Billy Hybrid and Mammoth jalapeñoes are new for me this year. I like the Jaloro for the yellow color to give some contrast with the green and red of some of the others. Jalumundo is my favorite jalapeño, big and thick walled. I have a friend who takes all the extra jalapeñoes that I have to cold pack in quart jars and he really likes the thin walled Jaluv N Attitude jalapeño when it has reached the red stage as well as the Santa Fe Grande.

I usual don't start peppers until the first of April and I usually have some good size plants to put out by the third week of May, which usually is past our last frost. I start them under lights in the area where the boiler for the hot water heat is located, so temps stay warm enough for quick germination and growth.

George

pondgardener, I like your signature

My wife and I really like Jalapenos, but we usually have to peel them because the skin is so thick. It's good to read there are some thinner skinned Jalapeno varieties.

My pepper list is simple:

Joseph's Sweet Peppers.

They are my own landrace variety. I've been working on them for 6 generations.

I have so many I want to try i have grow lists for the next 3 years. I have 10 other paprika peppers, and many sweets I want to try. I'm trying to figure out what works here. Last year I grew mostly hot peppers and some grew like crazy.
Eventually I'll only grow about 18 on a regular basis.
Same with tomatoes except I have enough for 5 years at this point.
