2015 Pepper list
I've seen lots of tomato lists, what peppers are on your grow lists this year?
Here are mine: Sweets: Red Ruffled Sweet Apple Marconi King of the North Feher Ozon Spicy : Numex big Jim Numex orange sauve Aji Colorado Chocolate cherry bomb Leutschauer paprika As you can see, I am not a fan of really hot peppers but I had one empty cell and chose Tshololo, a hot orange Chili from Brazil that has purple foliage. Why not, I figure I should grow one superhot and this one is unusual. I grow my peppers in pots or in the greenhouse, I find peppers in general don't do well outdoors in my garden here.

I'm still a month away from starting seeds but I got a tentative list going:
Bell Peppers California Wonder Purple Beauty Red Bull F1 Hot Peppers Biker Billy Jalapeño Jaloro Jalapeño Jalmundo Jalapeño El Jefe Jalapeño Mammoth Jalapeño Jaluv N Attitude Jalapeño Heritage Big Jim Chile NuMex Joe E Parker Chile Mirasol(Pueblo Chile) Devil's Kiss Fresno Santa Fe Grande Triple Hot Habanero Caribbean Red Habanero West African Red All of these are used to spice up and add color to a number of canning recipes such as salsa, pepper relish, Ro-Tel knockoff and Habanero Gold jelly. If only thinking about the heat from the "hots" would melt the snow on the ground, I would be happy! George

I'm trying to improve my pepper growing skills.
For Chile powder Anaheim Corno di toro Looking for some pablano seeds Hot sauce Orange Habanero Serrano Pickled Greek pepperoncini Sweets Cal wonder China giant For those growing in containers/bags please list your mix. I have given up trying to grow them in my alkaline soil. Last year I had good results in SWC with 50/50 mushroom compost and peat. I might try a little vinegar water since my well water ph is 8.4 |

Karen,
The Biker Billy Hybrid and Mammoth jalapeñoes are new for me this year. I like the Jaloro for the yellow color to give some contrast with the green and red of some of the others. Jalumundo is my favorite jalapeño, big and thick walled. I have a friend who takes all the extra jalapeñoes that I have to cold pack in quart jars and he really likes the thin walled Jaluv N Attitude jalapeño when it has reached the red stage as well as the Santa Fe Grande. I usual don't start peppers until the first of April and I usually have some good size plants to put out by the third week of May, which usually is past our last frost. I start them under lights in the area where the boiler for the hot water heat is located, so temps stay warm enough for quick germination and growth. George

a month away for peppers George? Are you trialling the jalapeno's to compare or have you grown them and they are different from each other or early/ late etc.

For grow bags I've been using three parts Miracle Grow Potting Mix (not Moisture Control) and one part bagged composted cow manure. This year I'm thinking of giving Wonder Soil a try.

pondgardener, I like your signature
My wife and I really like Jalapenos, but we usually have to peel them because the skin is so thick. It's good to read there are some thinner skinned Jalapeno varieties. |

Well, when I mentioned thin-walled varieties, i was referring to the thickness of the wall and not the thickness of the skin. I like the thick-walled ones because there is more of the pepper to use after removing stems and seeds. I have never removed the skin from jalapenoes...now the chiles like Big Jim and others...those are the ones that require peeling after roasting and a thicker skin is desirable.

My pepper list is simple:
Joseph's Sweet Peppers. They are my own landrace variety. I've been working on them for 6 generations. |

Without reading any replies or whatever after this... Cool Joseph . My gardening interests are to respect and grow the older varieties, open mindedly try new varieties, and to do exactly as you have... grow something different. If and when you introduce this variety publicly, I will be more than interested in buying some seeds.
