kittriana said: @TreeSong. I grow 'Gypsi' a sweet non bell variety, but also the 'Luncbox (orange, yellow, red) and these taste like Green Bell peppers, but are thin walled.
Poblanos ( the variety that turn black instead of red as they age) are standard south Texas. Used for Poblano Cream Sauce, as poppers (instead of Jalapeños) stuffed, and they seem to love a bit more coolness in the weather.
I grow tabascos to make pepper vinegar sauce.
I have a Serrano (look for Scoville Heat Units for pepper heats) because we love our homemade tostada dipping sauces. You control that heat by amounts, or a can of Redi Whip like pepper judging judges, or by sugar. I have a cayenne, but it's because I have seeds. The Count Dracula is an experiment 🧛♂️, but is beautiful. It got bombarded last night when the rain came in and grew an inch.
chili plants.com may have pepper varieties that can give descriptions of their plants.
Unless it is a squash, most summer vegetables are solanum ( nightshade) potato, tomato, eggplant, pepper, avocado. Then you have the Apiacae family carrot, celery, parsley, coriander( raw leaf is cilantro), cumin, Hemlock. See? We have adapted these herbs and know when NOT to use them
