Cherry sweet peppers and Cherry hot peppers (the op kind) - Sweet and Mild Banana peppers - Green Bell peppers - Cayenne peppers long thin ( use these by packing in white vinegar then pour onto greens and eat with cornbread).
The Cherry sweet and hot peppers haven't grown in awhile but found seeds this year to grow and save seeds from. |

For sweet, Jimmy Nardello is probably my favorite. I love the look of them, and they taste even better.
I'm a big fan of superhots from Trinidad. My favorite is 7 Pot Yellow. Very beautiful pods, and plenty HOT with a lemony pineapple flavor. |

For hot peppers, I love serrano, as it's the perfect pepper ingredient for my homemade pico de gallo. For sweet peppers, I don't have wide exposure, but I love the aroma and versatility of yellow bell.

Love sweet peppers (mainly for stuffing, fresh too) but haven't had much success growing them - 1-2 per plant, so don't have a favorite yet. My favorite hot is a ghost pepper (Naga Bhut Jolokia). Love it but difficult to grow. Have 20 beautiful plants now but will be lucky to get a few ripe peppers. Slonovo uvo looks very tasty to try next year, if get seeds somehow.

I tried manzanos for the first time this year and just love them. I don't know how much success I'll have with them, but I'm going to put a couple of plants in pots so I can extend the season if I have to.

He means that he is or will bagged the flowers of the plant(s) that he wants seed from, This is to prevent the seed from being a cross of that pepper and what ever other one has flowers at the time. The seed comes from the ripe pepper.

I'm a big fan of spicy foods so I grow mostly hot varieties. Serrano is a favorite, love to use it for salsa verde. Trying a bunch of new varieties this year, only 4 out of 10 plants are one's I've grown before, two of those are Serrano plants. Hoping to find some new favorites this year.
