2015 Pepper Grow List

[Mojave]

Well, I think I'm done. But I know how that goes, if I need to take a trip to the nursery I'd better wear blinders.

Here's what's going on in the ground:

Mucho Nacho Jalapeno hybrid
Jalapeno (x3)
Orange Habanero (x5)
Caribbean Red Habanero
Aji de la Tierra
Fatalii (x3)
Bhut Jolokia (x2)
Hinklehatz Red
Hinklehatz Yellow
Tasmanian Black
Fish Pepper
Congo Trinidad
Chilhaucle Amarillo
Trinidad Scorpion

And in containers:

Thai Hot Black
Chilicostle (x2)
Congo Trinidad
Cabai Burong
Dragon Cayenne hybrid
Jalapeno
Vietnam Black Dragon (Goatweed?)
Trinidad Scorpion
Orange Habanero (x3)
Florentino Tuztan (x3)
Fatalii
Aji Angelo (x2)
Gong Bao

It's been a very cool month (May was colder than January in SF this year!) and they're all showing a bit of wear because of it. All will be fine once the temps come up.

I'll post pics in a few. Happy growing everybody!

Nice list.

I've never heard of Florentino Tuztan and seeing that you're growing 3 of them I wondered about it. Hot or sweet?

This is the first year I've grown it. It's a hot from Oaxaca and is described as a very productive small plant with yellow peppers turning purple at maturity. I like to grow something new every year and thought this would be a colorful addition to the yard.

[Mojave]

Sure enough. I went to the nursery to replace a tomato I am losing to fusarium and came home with a tomato and two more peppers.

Add another Vietnamese Black Dragon and a Shish*to to the potted pepper list.

Lemon Drop
Poblano
Jimmy Nardello
Leutschauer Paprika
Hungarian Wax
Jalapeno
And whatever other stragglers I can find at local nurseries (Cayennes, habanero, serrano)

Nice! Let me know how the Carribean Red and Trinidad Congo are. They're on my list for next year.

Here's a few shots I took this afternoon. The close up of the peppers is out of focus. When they start ripening I'll get some better pics of the peppers.

Wow! Looking good Mojave!

A couple of random pepper pictures.

Tasmanian Black, an excellent annuum.


Fish Pepper, medium to mild heat and very tasty.

Nice looking plants you have Bill.
I have wondered about the Fish Pepper. I saw it in a catalog many years ago. I have to look for that one again. Thanks for the info

[Mojave]

Some more pepper pictures.

Chilicostle peppers. An annuum from the Oaxaca area of Mexico. I'd like to make some rellenos and maybe some enchilada sauce with these.






Fatalii peppers, a chinense from Africa. I'll be pickling these and making hot sauce.






Ghost pepper (Bhut Jolokia) A chinense from Assam India. I'll use these like the Fatalii peppers.




Aji de la Tierra. A baccatum from South America. Pickling and fresh.




Congo Trinidad. A chinense from Trinidad. Fresh eating, pickling and salsa.



That's all for now.

Wow all these massive chili plants are making mine look small. I think I'm going to overwinter this year so I can get a head start for next year.

None of these were over-wintered, but I plan on doing it.

WOW, never knew peppers can look like that. Nice pictures too.
