My Thai pepper plants are also HUGE this year and loaded with peppers. I probably have over 100 peppers on each plant and they are growing out fairly wide.

Cayenne always do well here in Oregon and the plants will be covered with green peppers and seemingly the next day they are almost all red. Lots of them.

My jalapenos were not very prolific.

Hot Lemon Peppers are one of my favorite and they are just beginning to turn yellow. We have had the remnants of a typhoon come through and drop over 6 inches of rain in the last few days. We normally only get 1.5 or so for the month of Sept. Hopefully my peppers won't rot before they ripen.

Giant Marconi is truly giant! And for having such large fruit, the plant had a lot of them. Another pepper I forgot to mention is Criolla de Cocina from Nicaragua.
Spicy, fruity sweet pepper. Medium size. Plants were loaded with fruit. They are odd shaped, kind of wrinkly. This is a terrific addition raw into a salad. I see Baker Creek is offering the seeds now.
