My peppers really did start to grow nicely - and then two were severely hit by that frost of two weeks ago or so. I have one that got reduced to just a stem, all the leaves got mushy and came off. Others, only two feet away, were basically fine. I pulled the stem out and am seeing if it regrows. It kind of looks like it's going to. I trimmed up the rest and bought a serrrano plant to go where the one bell had been (the stem.)
Started a few more seeds of the King Crimson bell and the Joe E Parker NuMex (Anaheim) that I had, as back-up, and possibly for sharing. Today I made a stop at The Fresh Market (do you all have those? Upscale food market chain, a bit pricy and none in my area but I'm a sucker for their flavored coffee beans) and got some dried anchos. I'm testing some of the seeds to see if they would possibly germinate. I also raided their olive/antipasto bar, and they had some of the marinated cherry tomatoes. Now I realize those would be great to try to grow.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a cherry pepper that is slightly hot but not too too hot? Thanks.
