I started some Apache Chili Peppers. Bought a plant last year and loved it. Also started Jalapeno and a ornamental called Medussa. Forgot to seed a sweet bell, so I will buy a couple of plants

I have 'Miniature Chocolate Bell' seeds that I forgot about. I'm going to try those as well. I've had Jalapeno plants in the past and really liked them, Joanne. Have you grow them before?

Anyone know how large a pimento pepper is? I can't find that info. This is the variety I have:

3-4 inches wide and 2-3 inches long, I think. Or thereabouts.

Anyone grow Peperoncini?

So, a little smaller than bell peppers, but big enough to stuff?

Yes, they could be stuffed.

Great list, Patti. Do you sell them at market or ?

You sure must like hot peppers as you have a really long list of them.

@ckatNM:

Cheshirekat, I agree that green bell peppers are yucky. I used to like them until the day I had my first red pepper. There's no going back.

Of course, green peppers are unripe peppers! It's possible that if you leave a green pepper on the vine until it changes color, it will get sweeter, or at least less bitter.

But best to grow sweet peppers "designed" to be eaten red. There are a lot of Italian sweet red peppers.

Patti - that is some list you have

I am vey disappointed with my hot peppers this year. I started my Trinidad Scorpion Butch T
and a few other hot peppers but none made it past germination.

Tee, I had great success with peperoncini peppers last year and am growing them again this year -- i pickled quite a few and they were excellent, just mildly spicy (at least in comparison to most of the hot peppers I grow)

I'm growing Fruit Basket (hybrid) because they are so good in containers, and trying one new pepper this year: Mucho Nacho. Supposed to have the jalapeno flavor with less heat (which is good, because I'm a wimp with hot peppers).

I don't like the hot pepper heat myself. Wanted to try those heatless types.

I might look at some different pepper plants, next time I'm out and about. Probably tomorrow after a morning doc appointment since I have to go to the bank that is close to the big box stores. And shopping only if I still have the energy. Right now, I have 6 non-hot pepper plants that are hanging in there. I can't ever remember their names, but one is a Banana pepper, Will have to see which variation of pepper it is. One of them has a bloom I noticed while weeding this morning. I would be happy with one more anaheim plant, or something similar so I can make a lot of chili rellenos to freeze for the winter.

So, this means I am trying one more time to get some more pepper plants to grow from seed directly sown in the garden this time. Or I could get lucky and find a decent sale on plants that look like an interesting variety to grow.

Today I purchased plants of one called "Chocolate Mint" and another "Purple".
I have seedlings coming along slowly for :
Espanola
Guilijo
Red Mercury
Green Apple a sweet pimento.

I was at Walmart today and looked at the pepper plants. I ended up getting another tomato plant instead.

I sowed a bunch of serrano and anaheim seeds last night. I guess I just can't allow myself to give up on those peppers. I have six sweet pepper plants, it only seems fair to sow enough seeds to end up with at least 6 hot pepper plants. My plan may backfire and I'll end up with a dozen pepper plants. I think I can probably find someone interested in free plants.

Some of my tomato plants went to a lady that has a foster home. I got to see pictures of her planting the tomato plants, and one of the younger boys decided to eat some dirt. It was quite funny. Maybe she will want some pepper plants when they germinate.

I still have no peppers.

Jala Banero certainly sounds interesting. I like both parents for their distinct differences, something to keep in mind for next year. Need to look into these!

Failed to visit my favorite nursery for ready-to-plant veggies earlier this week but I can always have a friend run out and pick up my "needs". The most important being an unknown Italian hot pepper brought back from Italy after WWII. I used to mix basic skinny Cayenne and Chili/Super chili for my everyday shaker but this one negates growing either. The cayennes this guy grows aren't much to my liking, before they ripen they could easily be mistaken for banana peppers by size alone. Impressive yield but not quite as hot as the skinny little finger-sized variety (to me).

I'd best describe it as a fat, stubby cayenne but the proof's in the pics right? The flavor isn't remotely familiar until you've had it. No Scoville rating but I find it enjoyably warm, my absolute favorite dried pepper for soups and casseroles.

Hopefully I'll get a few?? It's been given a home-state moniker for lack of ID. I'm not a "Buckeye" fan so hopefully I can grow a few and get the seeds dispersed to other locations. I do hope I'm not too late, I'll make a call/request this afternoon. If nothing else I'm sure I can get the Ghost, Trinidad, and Carolina Reaper but I'd trade all of those for this one!
