We are growing many of the same varieties, but I am at least a month behind you. What is your seed source for the Greek Pepperoncini?
I have a pack of older Burpee seed and several still germinated, but they only have Italian Pepperoncini listed this year.

Cole_Robbie · March 25, 2017

One of the experiments I look forward to this year is comparing the different colors of ghost pepper, as well as the different colors of Fatali, the original of which was my favorite super-hot from last year.

I also have several new heirloom sweet peppers to try, thanks to generous gifts and trades from other t'villers.

I think I got it on trade couple of years ago.
I also had/sowed Burpee Italina pepperoncini but it did not germinate. So I have just 3 Greek version.

Robert, you've got lots of peppers.

Cole, I grew red Fatali two years ago. I think I might have dry pods but not marked. I will try to grow Bhut Jolokia one day. It has good reviews.

Starlight · March 25, 2017

Going to do just a few hots here this year and those mainly for friends. The main one will be Rooster Spur. One of the more popular peppers wanted down here. They make a great pepper sauce. Guess that what you call it. They take all the peppers and put in bottles with vinegar and shake out on food. Makes a pretty bottle with all the different colors in it.

Everything else is going to be sweets. Top of the list

Enjoya
Pustzagold
Ros De Mallorca

Paprika's and a bunch of sweets from generous MMMM swap folks.

TomNJ · March 25, 2017

For hots I have six Serrano, which are used mainly in my bottled hot sauce, and three Cayenne Ring of Fire because they are early and red in time for salsa canning. I also tried a few hot pepper seeds that followed me home from a Persian restaurant in Vienna, but they did not germinate

For sweets I like large thick-walled bell types that reliably turn red in August. I have been planting Red Beauty and King Arthur which perform well, but are hybrids so I have to buy seed each year. This year I substituted Ozark Giant for the King Arthur to see if this open pollinated variety turns red in time. I have six of each under lights.

I cut back on peppers this year since I still have 25 half-pints of my hot sauce in the cellar from my 2016 harvest, and a freezer full of sweet peppers. One 50' row should fulfill my needs this year.
