Deeby said:Rita, how many shishito plants will you have this year? I'm hoping to find just one plant at the garden center.
Well, I start my plants from seed so I can have many.
The only place around here I have seen Shishito plants is at Home Depot which had the Bonnie plants in one plant peat pots.
I plan to buy Mellow Star Seeds. Which is a hybrid Shishito. Then I will be staring my common Shistito seeds and my Green Star hybrid Shistito seeds. Not all come up so I plant many.
I think I will start 12 of each as I simply need a lot of Shishitos to plant. Maybe 8 of each to plant?
I think I had 16 or 18 plants last year and really needed more even though the plants just made peppers like crazy.
I can always give extra pepper plants away.
Honestly the Shishito are a very prolific pepper but even so one plant can't so too much. I need a ton of plants as many in my neighborhood have tasted these peppers and are eager to receive more next season. My grass cutting guy alone gets a huge bagfull every two weeks when he comes here.
