Pepper opinions
I always want to know what tomatoes everyone is growing but have never asked for a pepper list or why people are growing what. It's only been in the past 5 or so years that I've tried to take care in what I select for peppers and hope that this doesn't develop into an obsession like the tomato
I wanted to grow a variety of colored bells so this year I'm trying the "Beauty" varieties of red, purple and chocolate. Sun Sweet is an orange. Bianca for white or cream colored. Gypsy and Blush Beauty looked pretty in the catalog Cal Wonder and Big Bertha performed wonderfully for me a couple of years ago. Lipstick is delicious IMO and I'm trying Apple for the first time. Hot Lemon is one of my favorites for flavor as is the Habanero (orange). I like the heat but can't handle TOO much so those are used sparingly. Probably 4 each of Jalapeno (I still prefer these in salsa), Tabasco (gonna try hot sauce) and Paprika for dried seasoning. I'm also doing a few multi-colored minis because of their cute value and perfect single salad size. Also some ornamentals for pots. Any comments to this selection or personal experience?
