Worth's Peppers and Tomatoes For 2016. - Page 61

Worth1 · July 18, 2016

Not a fan of thin walled sweet peppers and for the most part like the paprika type.
Since the discovery of Chili Arbol I have just about stopped using cayenne all together.
Very few peppers have a place in my home that dont have at least some sort of heat or flavor.
Years ago the Poblano pepper replaced the bell pepper for me even though I will stuff red bells once and a while.

What do you stuff it with? Meat or something else?

My Foot Smells · July 18, 2016

for some reason I have had a hard time with big block bells and poblano in year's past. I don't think they like the heat. my attempts at poblano, I got several, but never got any size like it should.

I now grow the "mini bells" and they produce like a rabbit on roids. the hybrid gypsy took the place of the pablano and a new mexico pepper which grows well.

Can you grow a big pablano in that texas heat? maybe I am doing something wrong?

Thanks for recommending de arbol, I love that pepper. Only grew one plant but it has really produced. Love the fresno's as well.

Have you tried padron? They are great producers and delicious roasted/grilled with olive oil and sea salt. About 2 out of a dozen are quite hot.

Cole_Robbie · July 18, 2016

Bells are one crop for which I am convinced hybrid seed is far superior. They like a lot of moisture, more than tomatoes. Two years ago, I had a nice crop of peppers and was finally able to grow colored bell peppers that looked like grocery store material. But everyone else at market had peppers, too, so they didn't sell.

I will try to answer everyone.

I stuff peppers with meat and cheese of some sort.
I despise rice stuffed peppers to no end.
To me rice is a cheap filler and that is all it is.

No luck but one time with pablano and not at this place but the other place I lived about 6 miles from here in sandy loam.
Last year would have been great but the wet weather took me out again.
Lets look at the pepper and where it came from.
The Puebla region of Mexico.
Puebla City itself is around 7,000 feet elevation.
So many movies have portrayed Mexico as a flat desert and it simply isn't that way.

Never tried padron.
And I dont grow arbols as they are almost free here in the dried form.

I gave up on bell peppers I have tried them all.

Cole, the one hybrid bell I grew, Penot Noir - did grow full size bell peppers that had a much better taste than I expected. I think I'll try some other hybrids too.

Cole_Robbie · July 18, 2016

Early Sunsation is my pick for best yellow bell. I haven't picked out a full size orange bell that I like yet. The lunch box peppers from Johnny's are quite good.

I never get great results from bells so i plant about 30 plants and take what they give me, I use it in cooking so I chop and freeze it. This year I grew some hatch peppers and it will be the bell replacement from now on. They're still flowering and putting out some peppers big enough to stuff. I also grew another big hot chille that was given to me and I don't know what it is but it's as hot a jalapeno.

The peppers on the right are the hot chillies

Cole_Robbie · July 18, 2016

Cherry Moon is a great pepper. I want to grow a lot of these next year:

I never will forget my old friend Green Eyes.
He stopped by to have a drink with me in the yard and took one of my hot banana peepers I was growing from a plant.
Be careful they are pretty hot.
#$%#@ you dont know what hot is who ever heard of a hot banana pepper you must be a sissy.
All in good fun because this is the way we talked to each other.
He smoked a pipe and he had his beer in his hand.
To prove to me the pepper wasn't hot and I was a sissy he gobbled the whole thing up in one big bite.
About 15 seconds later all of the fire and tobacco came blowing up out of his pipe like a volcano and his eye bulged out like a frogs.
Then his nose started running and he couldn't catch his breath.

Then Fat Dog and Snake came by later and we pulled the same stunt on them.

We had a lot of fun with those hot banana peppers that year.

Look at Samuel L. Jackson in the movie Black Snake Moan and you have Green Eyes after he ate that pepper.

Seed then chop Lemon Drop into guacamole. Works great with the citrus juice!

AlittleSalt · July 18, 2016

Thinking of peppers, being that it is already July - there should be some sites having sales on pepper seeds about now. Yesterday, I noticed Park seed has some on sale.

I'm going to look after our PS4 finishes the 2.444 GB download. It really slows the internet down.

Ok, curious - what kind of Hatch chili's are those? I thought Hatch was the location and only chili's grown in Hatch, New Mexico could be Hatch chilis? Still learning here... :-) They look yummy!

I wonder if my NuMex Big Jim peppers will be like those. I am totally wanting to grow some spicy big stuffing peppers (not bells).
