What Pepper Varieties You Are Growing ... 2017?
Quote:
This will be my first time with Tolli's. I really dislike raw peppers and all I grow are for cooking, drying, fermenting/pickling, or roasting. I'm hoping Tolli's does well so that I have a sweet variety for frying. |

I had a lot of success with planting my peppers in 5 gallon containers last year so I'll be trying that again.

I am going to try to develop a niche for restaurant sales of dried/smoked peppers and it's my thought that the pimiento type would work best with their thick walls.

Yes at one time all cheese was white or light orange or yellow.
The orange color was due to the caws eating rich grasses and getting the beta carotene from it. This was considered high quality cheese. They started using things like carrots saffron and sweet peppers and such to fake this color. This is why we now have orange cheese. There is no such thing as natural orange cheese. Maybe just maybe if you fed the cows basket fulls of carrots it would be orange. |

Interesting. I never knew that there's no orange cheese. Now that I think of it, it makes sense. So does this mean that chocolate milk doesn't come from brown cows??? (Just kidding with that)

http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/conte...am-pepper.html Their site says can take 2 week to 10 to germinate. I have dial up and my dial up must still be sleeping as it taking forever to load a page. Go to google and put in Pepper Cream Fatalii seeds and it will bring up a bunch of sites for you. Also, don't know if you know there is a Fatalii site: www.fataliiseed.net/New-products You might find better info there. I would say no because some of the sites say that the Cream Fatalii goes from green to cream to pale orange. Guess that must be if left long time on vine. |

I think that 'cheese' also can refer to a round, flattened shape, as in a wheel of cheese.
The last seeds arrived, so my list is finalized. Beaver Dam, Greygo, and Pizza are favorites, the only ones I grow every year. Trials/seed increases: Aji Cristal (hot) Amfora (sweet)(testing for stability) Djuric (sweet, trial) Doe Hill (sweet) Early Jalapeno (hot) Karlo (hot, trial) Numex Sunset (hot, trial) Pelso (hot) PI 315008 (hot)(USDA, to compare with SSE's strain) Pizza sport (hot)(attempting to stabilize dwarf plants) Professor Meader's Chocolate (sweet, trial) Suptol (sweet) Tennessee Cheese (sweet) Tequila Sunrise (sweet, trial) |

I was at HD yesterday, and bough a Red Bhut Jalokia. I have read rave reviews on its flavor. So we will find out. My next HOTTEST pepper is now Scotch Bonnet. Bhut Jalokia takes the first place.
