What pepper are you looking forward to?
 

So with dreams of next season creeping into my winter-numb mind, I think I'm most looking forward to growing two chilies the most.
-
MoA Scotch Bonnets and some seeds I picked from a Hawaiian chili plant while in Kauai this past September.
-
Although I have a nice variety going in this season, I'm really looking forward to those two.

I'm looking forward to:

NuMex Primavera
NuMex Vaquero
NuMex Jalmundo
Costeno Amarillo
Onza
Chilcostle
Bhut Jolokia
Chilhuacle Negro
various Thai peppers
Biker Billy F1
Legacy
King of the North
California Wonder
Jimmy Nardello
and other's I cannot think of right now.

1. Revolution F1. I grew one plant last year out of curiosity - wow, I was very impressed with a plant loaded with huge bells. Never suspected I can grow sweet bells successfully in my Northern climate. I will plant at least a dozen next year.

2. Carmen F1 and Gypsy F1 - my "working horses", never disappoint me. Dozen of Carmen, half-dozen Gypsy next year.

3. From Non-hybrids: Doulce d' Espagna and Elephant Ears impressed me last year - they are coming back in bigger numbers.

4. For early crop: Tolli's Sweet was productive and early, though peppers were somewhat smallish. Will plant maybe 2-3 of them

5. Russian varieties: Bohatyr and Zolotoy Telets were good last year - growing them again, will plant more than last season. Adding Orangevoye Chudo for the first time - supposedly these are big orange bells for Northern climates - we will see.

6. Hot peppers: Crimson Hot and Long Red Cayenne were very productive - planting one of each,no need for others hots, two of these plants will satisfy all my needs of hot peppers

7. Shishiito - planting at least 4 of them. Tried for the first time past season, I just loved fried Shishiito, definitely need more!

8. Others: a few plants each: New Ace, Zolotoy Dozhd, Lipstick, King of the North, Novogogoshary

We grow a Korean variety that I only know as Wrinkly. My Korean wife uses them to make her Hot Sauce and Kimchee.

I received some seeds in a Christmas Card. The seeds were marked Korean Twist Pepper. It is some kind of Shi-shi-to pepper, but shi★★★★o are Japanese.

Aji Amarillo and Aji Limon.

Worth

Aleppo pepper (new-to-me) and again Punjab Lal. I hope my Krakatoa F1 will survive this winter, it's too good to loose it.

I grew Fushimi this summer. Talk about a productive pepper.

I grew 52 different hot peppers last year and plan on scaling back to make room for the maters Here is my top :
7 Pot Barrakpore
7 Pot Yellow & red Brainstrain
7 Pot bubblegum red & yellow
7 Pot Caramel
7 Pot Infinity 7 Pot Jonah
7 Pot madballz burgundy
Aji pineapple
Carolina Reaper
Cumari Every year I grow this
Kraken
Orange Thai
Orange Tree Habanero
SBJ7
VV7

Bulgarian Carrot, Hot Portugal, Hungarian Yellow Hot Wax and Emerald Fire.

Orange Thai, Aji Amarillo, and Dolce di Minervino (The last two thanks to Fred Hempel!)

Thai dragon pepper for my hot pick.I like to roast sweet peppers,looking for a large type.I have some seeds from last year,but at the moment I am still looking.Cubanella(hope I spelled that right)are the seeds I have.

I am widening my habanero plantings. Big Sun Hab and Chocolate Hab are probably the two best peppers ever for pico de gallo. I find habs to be a good compromise between the superhot and the boring.

Only growing 6 peppers next year, 2 plants each. Aji Amarillo, Bulgarian Carrot, Czech Black, Nardello, Padron, TS Morouga.

Space saved will be used for watermelons.

Peppers are destined for salsa and beans for the most part, nothing will be wasted.

The TS Morouga has a very special purpose, there's a man who married into my extended family and he loves to talk.... boast about his abilities to handle spicy food, and when I see him I have to listen and endure due to family ties. It's been 5 years of this. TS Morouga will allow me to make him a very special salsa, lovingly crafted in his honor, with thick gloves, carefully designed to say hello to the crypts in his intestine. muahahahahahahah.

Gonna buy a heat pad to make sure everyone germinates adequately.

You are an evil man Gerardo :D

Fair warning will be given, the cool part is given his proclivities, it'll only goad him more. Evil only when necessary.

I would love to be a fly on the wall.

Gerardo, at that "Muhahahahaha" I really did laugh out loud!

I had never heard of the Elephant Ears, they look like a great sweet pepper sub for typical bell peppers. Gonna have to get some of those.

Big Sun did amazingly well for me here. Seemed later than other Habs but worth the wait.

Last year, I had a sport appear in the Pizza peppers; heart shaped, [U]very[/U] thick walled, and quite spicy. I saved seed from them & will be growing a fairly large planting, in hopes of stabilizing those qualities. Will also be growing a sample of PI 315008 from the USDA, to compare it against the sample from SSE that I grew out last year... it did really well, but I want to verify whether the wide variability that I observed is inherent to the accession, or whether crosses might have been introduced. Other than that, I will be waiting for the SSE Yearbook, to see what might have appeared there from my wish list.

I only grew shi-shi-tos and some type of Italian Frying Pepper (that's what it was named) before. This year I'm growing...

Aji Amarillo
Cajun Belle
Giant Marconi
Peperoni Di Senise
Jimmy Nardello
Corno Di Toro Giallo
Coban Red Pimiento
Padron
Numex Jo E Parker

Forgot Datil... :-)

Excited to try them all!!

I was trying to find Donkey Ears, and must have had one Rum Punch too many because I ordered some and when they came in they were Elephant Ears... lol. I looked back at the order and I had indeed ordered Elephant Ears seeds when I already had some. Long story short, if you want some PM me because I have extra.

Ginny

I have been so limited to the number of peppers I could grow since I was a contract seed grower for Datil peppers. This year I decided to stop doing that so I could grow more. Chile peppers are the 2016 herb of the year and my elderly friend that owns an herb farm hates starting seeds so I agreed to do it and my original list grew much larger than planned.

Bhut Jolokia
Buena Mulata (Purple Pippen)
Bullnose
Carolina Reaper
Chocolate Bhut Jolokia
Chocolate Habanero
Datil
Fatali
Hungarian Hot Wax
Jalapeno
Leutschauer Paprika
Lipstick
Long Red Cayene
Mulato Isleno
Numex Heritage
Red Thai
Scotch Bonnet
Serano
Shi shi to
Sweet Datil

I am going to isolate the Carolina Reaper to save seeds since they were so expensive but that is the only pepper seeds saving this year. That is going to be a nice change for me.

Sweet peppers here only and looking forward to success with:

Aconcagua
Cubanelle
Giant Marconi

I would love to have yellow and red peppers, but with the short growing season for peppers all I really ever get in green ones. I read somewhere the mid-west is not the right place to have peppers ripen. True or not?

I forgot to include Rocoto to my list. I started those 5 months ago and with the mild winter I have been able to leave them outside so I almost forget about them.

PaulF, I remembered seeing a discussion about short season peppers. Maybe this will help.

Kay,

How do you start the rocotos? Ive tried a few times and havent had any luck with them sprouting. Is there a way you do it that gives them the boost? How long for them to sprout?
