What Hot Peppers are you growing this year

Organic_Nut · May 13, 2006

Lets see what everyone is growing this year on Hot Peppers. I have not seen much mention of this around here.

I am still on the hunt for plants. hope to score some yet. but here goes on what I have now.

Habanero almost 100 plants.
Red Savina
Jalapeno ( hot )

old seed failed on
Serrano
Tabasco
tepin
chiltepin
few others
Lipstick a sweet pepper good for the north.

well I used to grow lots of hot peppers and work called me away. now I am trying to get up and going again but I started a bit late. So I am making most of my plans for next year. too late to start seed now.

I was hoping to get plants. found a place but their plants are hardly out of the seed pods. so I will only get a few. they will not be available until the end of the month. they are still in the seed sprouting trays. not even put into the pots yet. getting too late up here. I need big plants now to get some thing this year.

Habanero almost 100 plants

I love hot peppers and I have raised many before, but this seems like a lot

Just out of curiosity what do you do with this many peppers? In my experience, habaneros are usually very productive. I know I can't eat many of these without a possible lower intestine replacement

not to mention further down the line.
I am only growing a few Senorita (nobody but me will touch them if I were to grow the REAL hot ones) and some hot cherry peppers for stuffing (hopefully) and eating fresh. I started the seeds at the beginning of April and will put them out 1st week in June if the temperatures are warm enough.

I'm growing the usual Jalepeno's, Habenero's, and Chili's at my parent's place, but I have a couple of interesting varieties I'll be trying in addition to these:

Chinese Five color
&
Variegated

Both will be grown as ornamentals in and around landscaping. The info I have says they should taste good and are alos quite hot.

HeirloomNewb · May 15, 2006

Oh heck I'll join in. I'm growing from mildest to hottest.... Ancho, Jalepeno, Thai Hot, Lemon Drop (peruvian), and Fatalii. I got all of them but the Jalepeno from the Seed Saver Exchange. So far all of the plants seem to be coming along well. Only 2 out of the 5 fatalii plants I've started have grown large, the others are growing leaves, but are still small. We'll keep our fingers crossed and wait to enjoy!

Ive a managed to 'limit myself to 60 odd varieties. I could even decide on one theme so I decided to go with these three:

1. Wild species - unlike the common varieties which are
fairly easy to grow, many of the rare wild species are
supposed to be hard to germinate. I like a challenge!!

2. Tasty peppers - after all chiles are grown to be eaten.
I've got plenty of new recipes I want to try this year
particularly blisteringly hot ones to feed to my mates
who 'can handle anything'

3. Unusual Pods & Beautiful flowers - as well as being
great to eat, some chile varieties are simply stunning
and make great gifts and house plants.

because I am trying not to do too many.

I have only about 50 hot jalapenos also. but that is so small I dont really count them.

this year is just a test garden to get setup for next year and the real garden.

I would love to hear some recipes for what you all use all these hot peppers for. I only use mine in salsa and would like to learn more. I have a string of dried Purple Peruvian still hanging in kitchen that I have never used.
Anyway, this year I am growing jalepenos and fish peppers and I think there are a few annaheim out there(need to look and see where I put those

).

JohnF · May 29, 2006

I adapted a bread and butter pickle recipe, sustituting pepper-- mostly jalapenos. They are very tasty and can either be stored in the fridge without processing--they stay crispy-- or proceessed in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes and stored at room temp.

I usually increase the amts for the brine to be sure I have enough to cover the peppers

1 1/2 to 2 lbs peppers sliced 1/4 " thick
2 medium onions sliced thin
6 ice cubes
1/4 cup coarse ( Kosher ) salt
1 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon mustard seed
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon turmeric

In large bowl combine peppers, onions, salt, and ice. Let stand 1 hour tosssing occassionally.

Fill bowl with water and drain vegetables in a colander. Rinse and drain three times to rinse off all salt. Drain well.

In large pan combine vinegar, sugar and spices. Bring to a boil. Add the vegetables and when the liquid barely begins to simmer remove from heat. Transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature.

Put in jars with enough brine to cover vegetables and store in the fridge. Ready to eat the next day but I have kept in fridge for many months. really good--crunchy-not too sweet--not too sour. Can also be hot water processed.

Unprocessed --mostly jalapeno

Hot water Processed --mixed varieties

I am growing a few (4) habanero plants. It is hard to grow them in Canada because of the short growing season, but my fingers are crossed. I bought a few seedlings at a local greenhouse.
Next year I need to plant them indoors in March and then transplant them as large plants I think.
