im from southern chile 10 c in winter and lot of rain and y growing rocoto peruano and its doing fine a have it for 2 years lots of rocoto every harvest very good chanel cheers
So my neighbour that has got me into growing produce, tomato and baby corn, and I am finding it an amazing way to beat the depression I have.. you plant you nature you look forward to the harvest... longterm thinking reduces risk of short term negative thinking. So any way he brought back a packet of pepper seeds, 8 out of 10 have sprouted in the first week.. I know it is late but they outside in a mini green house and they are quite a niche pepper... The Peter Pepper is an heirloom pepper that I will harvest seeds from to ensure it survives.
For anyone in a cooler climate without much sunlight, I highly recommend Murasaki and Shoshito peppers. I’m in Illinois and due to giant trees in my neighbor’s yard, I get almost no direct sunlight. These two Japanese varieties have been by far the most prolific for me.
I got Shishito seeds from a friend in Japan. I liked it, but is not a hot pepper I grow all my peppers together in pots on a long table so the dogs cannot pee on them. Unfortunately they cross at will so the next generation is a hodgepodge. Makes it all interesting. I raise them for my fun and for my son-in-law, who loves very hot peppers. I planted seeds from a Canadian Supplier this year - Bhut Jolokia, Yellow Habanero, Carolina Reaper, and Scotch Bonnet. I started them inside very early - like November. They did well and were doing well outside until they got a heat-related bacterial wilt along with the neighbouring tomatoes. I moved them to their own table removed from the others and they finally started to recover from the wilt. Now setting good fruit. I would like to hear more about cross-pollination as my Carolina Reapers provided only sterile, unproductive plants that were big, but useless and the few peppers had no seeds. That was when they were grown together with annum species.
@@jamesarcher473 Sadly, none of my super hots (Bhutlah, Reapers, Ghost etc) survived. Habaneros are the hottest I was able to grow this year, but they are refusing to ripen.
This year I planted from my own saved seeds (as I do every year) Ring of Fire, THai, Shishito, Cayenne, Noboru’s Hybrid Pepper, and Cheyenne(this is actually a variety that developed from the original hybrid Cheyenne. I got a variety of types from the first generation seeds and decided to plant only this one. Nice size and yellow ripened. I save my own seeds every year and it makes things more interesting. Can be surprising sometimes. I save all my own tomato seeds as well. Tomatoes do not usually cross pollinate, but it appears it might be pretty common with peppers.
I did not finish. I grow my peppers in pots. I mix my own soils and I find the peppers do better in pots than in the garden. Easier to give them attention and they produce “tons” of peppers that my daughter dries and then converts into various spicey hot sauces (using my tomatoes as well).
I stopped by to learn a bit more about some seeds I ordered from the Chile Pepper Institute and got sucked down the wormhole. Who knew there was SO much to learn about peppers???
I'm harvesting Jamaican Scotch Bonnets, Fish Peppers, Buena Mulatta, Chinese Five Color, Apocalypse Scorpion, Jay's Peach Bhut Jolokia and Corbaci Peppers. My 1st year growing hot peppers and it has been an amazing experience. I live in coastal SC and have been using 35% shade cloth over my garden. Grown in fabric pots. All from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. Great results. I started them indoors in Feb and it took a while then all the sudden they exploded
The "habanada" looks like what we call "pimento" peppers in Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹. It is an absolute must for our everyday cooking and green seasonings.
Numex Suave Orange has a distinctive chinense-type or Habanero flavor, but surprisingly almost no heat. Attractive plants. Made a unique and tasty salsa with them, inspired by the many Habanero sauce recipes out there.
I'm growing some Nadapeños this year - first time trying to grow a chili variety that won't burn holes in the roof of my mouth. Can't wait to taste them. 😁
Calvin, I cannot believe I missed watching THIS MOST IMPORTANT video of all time for beginner hot pepper growers like me!!! Thank you so much for linking me to this video
I’m from Florida. Every year I group pepper. One problem I had is. White bugs on the leaf under. I trying all different ideas but not working. I love pepper. Love your channel. Thank you for share with us.
Just subbed. Man didn't know there were that many varieties 🌶🌶🫑🫑. Like the sound of the cooler climate ones.Thanks for the info / advice. Will be following from across the pond🏴.Thanks for sharing 👍. Robbo.
I am glad to see the link to New Mexico State in the links. I bought Joe Parker and Big Jim, plus some poblanos from them this year. They were excellent seeds. I also am growing a package my son gave me labeled “peppers”. I hope to learn what they are likely to be by watching your videos!
Haha, that sounds like a fun mystery plant. We'll be filming more outdoors going forward as the plants get bigger and bigger. Glad you got some NMSU seeds - love their mission! In case you didn't know, you can become a donating member and they send a free packet of "rare pepper seeds" every year.
I'm a rookie pepper grower in New Jersey. This year my Bell Peppers, Jalepeno, and Hot Banana Peppers are all doing well and producing nicely. Next summer I want to branch out to more interesting varieties. However, I don't like too much heat. About 8,000 Scoville is all I can take in one sitting. That Lesya pepper you show is awesome looking! I'm gonna try to hunt that one down. Thanks for sharing all your great info!
Just discovered you two lovely folk and have been binge watching your vids for the last week. I grew approximately 400 Chilli plants (you say peppers) last year, but they were 2 maybe 3 different varieties tops. I had the seeds left over from something else, they were actually about 8 years old and I wasn’t expecting them to do much, but they did. With last year being a reasonable success and being a huge chilli fan, eating wise, I decided to throw myself head first into it this year. Here is a list of what I’m growing this year. Aji Amarillo, aji Verde, beaver damn, chile de onza, chimayo, corbaci sweet, Orozco, tolls sweet Italian, jelapeno and purple jelapeno, Willy chilli or penis pepper to you, scotch bonnet, orange habanero, rokita, Mexican hot, biquinho red, ancho grande and pablano, Serrano, pepporoncini, big Jim, cascabel, pasilla bajio and guajillo. I’m using the info in this video to help find each plants ideal final container size, I sincerely thank you and your lady friend for the great work, subbed with all 3 accounts 🤘
Thanks for the info. Will definitely venture out next year. Last season and this year I'm establishing my household staples: jalapeños, poblano, cali wonder, serrano and chiltepin.
Here in Argentina it's fairly common the "quitucho", it used to be classified as Capsicum microcarpum but I think it's now under Capsicum baccatum. It's great if you like pure heat.
Greetings from France.1st time Iwqatched this program,excellent.Iam a keen gardener on a small scale,and like to grow tomatoes and chillies.IN 2002 Ibought some chilli seeds in Singapore and forgot about them.This year Iplanted some of the seeds ,and one plant survived(the summer weather has been bad here )and had about 20 red hot chillies.Next year Iwill try different one,if Ican get the seeds.
Last year I grew 9 varieties and 35 plants this year amping it up to 16 varieties and 50 plants. To mention a few for this year; habanada, pimiento rojo, orange and golden cayenne and the yellow lava 7pot.
Good information. Your video seems to be backed up by a lot of research and experience. The Pepper Geek is morphing into the Pepper Guru. Keep pursuing your passion and you will be the go-to pepper expert
@@PepperGeek Until this year, neither have I. Grew it on a 2 year old hugelkulture bed. I was very surprised...I didn’t pan for this size, so it has silly, Frankenstein trellisx5, lol. So, not too great a sight to behold.
Hi from Austria! In Eastern Austria in the Area around Vienna Tomatoes are called Paradeiser. Fruchtig means Fruity. So it makes sense that those look like Tomatoes :-)
Just found your channel today, and I am hooked!! I'm not even the most adventurous pepper person. But this year I decided that these darn peppers were not going to allude me again. I've had meh success with growing peppers for about 7 years! To be fair, I haven't taken the time to delve into the specifics of the fruit, more than the cursory basics. But this year is the year darn it! I will have an abundance of peppers 🌶🙋🏽♀️!!
I typically grow dozens of kinds of peppers each year. One of the most exciting things for me is when a pepper plant turns out to produce something you don't expect. One of these is an accidental Tabasco Habanero cross (Tabanero; Frutescens x Chinense) with a lot of unique characteristics -- juicy, sweet, kinda hot, practically picks itself when ripe, small seeds so you can eat them directly if you can take some heat. The other was supposed to be a Fish pepper but looks more like an Anaheim (either way, C. Annuum) -- I call it "Chisel" because of the shape. Like the Tabanero it tastes good and is spicy at all stages of development, turns red early. Small bush, very productive even in cool weather. Of course, seed saving is crucial to taking advantage of special crosses, fortunately if you already grown from seed, seed saving is easier in peppers than almost anything else.
One pepper you didn't mention is the Texas Chiltepin. It's in the annuum family. Bird love them, so they usually show up at edges of fences as a result. I have one I planted doing well in Texas heat. You can pick them red and use right away or dry them and crush them on food.
Been growing peppers for 5 years now, '21 is my 6th, and I've really learned a lot from your channel. I recently discovered it and have enjoyed every video, thank you! I'm very interested in your indoor growing conditions especially..
When pronouncing the 'aji' pepper, the stress is on the 'i'. 'Aji' means chili. The most popular variety in Peru is 'Aji armarillo' which means , 'yellow chili'. They are favoured for their many culinary uses. Pimiento is used for sweet peppers and Pimienta is black pepper corns for spicy pepper, like pimienta negra and pimienta blanca, black and white pepper used on the table..
I grew Brazilian starfish peppers last year and loved them so much I'm growing them again. They grew much teller than every other pepper I've planted so I plan to trellis them in a tomato cage-type thing this year. I also grew some aji chinchi amarillos that looked like the aji lemons you showed but a little smaller/orangier and about as spicy as a super market habanero.
I also grew them last year for the first time, my first major foray into C. Baccatum. They need an extra month up front to get rolling but make up for it in productivity and a nice fruity taste. For me, a lot of the C. Baccatum varieties ended up 4-6' tall, but a Jasmyn Rissie (also C. Baccatum) was about 8' tall when it finally got too cold to keep it growing.
So glad I found your channel. My mother worked with a lady that always gave pepper plants to her friends. My mom has passed but the plants had a lot of different colored little tiny peppers. Purple,blue,red,orange,green and more can you tell me what pepper that was? They were very hot.
very nice, I have some of those same varieties growing right now indoors, currently still in their seedling stage, This year Im growing white ghosts, 7 pot yellow lava, carolina reapers, golden habaneros, jalapenos, 7 pot bubblegum red, ghengis khan brain strain, white bell peppers, california bell peppers, crispy hybrid bell peppers, yellow carolina reapers, banana peppers, chocolate bhutlah , roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and strawberries....happy growing!
Thanks for sharing your passion. I started branching out my pepper verities because the jalapeno and cayenne were not what I was looking for. Because of your channel I now have a number of sugar rush peach, serrano, Buena mulata, passilla, among other verities. Thank you for the inspiration.
I've been a pepper lover all of my life . Nobody in my family could figure me out . A couple of years ago I learned of general two's chicken at work on a Friday . I immediately fell in love . What peppers are used for this ? Your videos truly inspire me to do something , either grow them or purchase them already grown . Thanks
We understand you! Spicy peppers are awesome. As for general tsos, not sure what kind of pepper, but many chinese restaurants frequently use the Tienjin peppers, or Chinese Red peppers. Thai chiles are also great for cooking. Hope this helps.
'Cabai burung ungu' is pronounced 'cha-bye boo-roong oong-goo'. Cabai is chile pepper, burung is 'bird' so bird chiles and ungu is the color purple, so purple bird chiles. Just discovered your channel and it couldn't come at a better time 'cause I just started growing my first pepper plants.
I like the yellow Tabasco peppers in vinegar. The trouble is that they turn red when they are ripe. Do you know if they are hot when yellow and can be picked before they turn red?
The Anaheim peppers are Annuals. I have a few plants of Jalapeno and Pepperoncini that are all between 7 and 10 years old. Soil temps below 45F and/or air temps below 40 will kill them. Because they are from the Tropics as long as they stay warmish they will live very long lives.
Just as a note: I have limited space in my garden. I only grow things I like and would normally buy at a market. Sure it would be nice to have peppers I’ve never eaten. However, I cook and I know Bell peppers, Jalepeno, Anaheim, and a few others will be needed in my pans and pots. So, that’s what I put in the ground.
One other note -- there are at least 2 zero heat cultivars of Capsicum Baccatum: Aji Delight and Mad Hatter. I prefer Aji Delight, which is a similar sweet fruity taste, size, and crunch to Sugar Rush but without any heat and with straight flattened or triangular pods.
Great informative video! In the last year, I've gotten really into gardening, and two of my favorite types of plants are peppers and tomatoes. Some varieties of peppers I'm going to try growing this year are Buena Mulata, Sugar Rush Peach, Shishito, Tibetan Lhasa and Brazilian Starfish!
This season I purchased 2 small seedlings of Shishito (sweet) peppers to try them out .(PA) season was late this year so i kept them inside and when plants reached its 3rd full set of leaves i topped them. When i was able to plant in garden they went dormant for about a week then boom they took off and never looked back. Very prolific... plants are approx. 30" tall, bushy, and i have more than i can handle.... awesome performers!!
I'm growing an aji ahuachapan that is a battacum type, this year.. had a few pods from a good friend and the chillies are warm but very very tasty. Cant wait to see how that turns out. Its a 6 weeks old atm and the genetics are showing now.. very large boots for this plant are needed.
New viewer here, but I love gardening. my question is, with so many peppers y'all have grown over the years, which ones have had the best flavor profile for salsa? or have you experimented with making your own salsa with different peppers before?
I haven't done too much experimenting with different pepper varieties in salsa. Honestly I like jalapeño and serrano, and habanero/scotch bonnet also add great flavor. It is a goal to try more experimental salsas this year!
Wow, what an interesting set of peppers. I might try one of these in the future. For now I'm growing my first set of home grown peppers, Anaheim peppers and Cayenne peppers to try the milder side of the whole spectrum before kicking it up a notch.
i couldnt find scotch bonnet, so i picked up a habanero from the store and im drying out the seeds will plant them in a couple days, im gonna do 1 in soil and 1 in a water set up and see how much the one in water outgrows the one in soil
I grow serrano's, bell, jala, hab, stripped and poblano, I also got but dont grow "often" scorp reaper (yellow) but that's way too hot for me. Picked up birds eye chili this year for growing this spring, gunna give them a shot for my cooking needs.
Hi. I really enjoy your videos. My kiddos and I are doing an experiment growing peppers of different varieties to see which we like. We are growing in containers and have sweet peppers on one side of our condo balcony and mild yo hot on the other. How far apart are the plants supposed to be so they don't cross pollinate? Because our banana peppers are growing hot and so is our sweet paprika. Help please. We want to actually grow sweet peppers.
Caught this JUST in time. The Chile Pepper Institute is having their plant sale tomorrow! I love the unique taste of habañero but can't eat them. I'll see if they have one of those orange ones.
In cold climate the summer might be too short to produce some of the slowest varieties. I also think that older plants that have had time to grow produce more. But obviously overwintering, especially in cold climate, is a lot of work too.
Hello what is the pepper you show at 18 seconds in this video? I bought an unlabeled pepper plant that makes peppers that look just like the first one on the left. Also thank you for the very useful information in this video!
@@PepperGeek Thank you! I found a time lapse grow video for the red moruga and that looks just like it. I tried a tiny sliver of a fallen pepper so far and yes its way up there in heat like my reaper plant! Thanks for the introduction to all of these unique pepper species, I've been looking to expand what I'm already growing.
We have bull's horn peppers, banana peppers, sunbright bells, regular bells, and colored bells (green yellow red) Nothing too fancy, we have grown cubanelles and jalapenos, and would like to see a greater variety of sweet peppers to experiment with combining together.
Very interesting. I'm located in Southern Ontario, on a 100 acre forested rural property. Been growing my own crops for 17 years, and this year in my second attempt to grow peppers in the last few years. This is what I found locally at a food store. "Gigantico, Horn Pepper" I'm wondering are these perennials? One thing I've notice, very slow growth, mind you it is July 1. Some flowers, only one small baby pepper thus far. First frost will be around late September, or early October. Your thoughts and comments please. Regards Dale.
“Grow something you cannot buy in the grocery store”. Truer words have never been spoken.
im from southern chile 10 c in winter and lot of rain and y growing rocoto peruano and its doing fine a have it for 2 years lots of rocoto every harvest very good chanel cheers
So my neighbour that has got me into growing produce, tomato and baby corn, and I am finding it an amazing way to beat the depression I have.. you plant you nature you look forward to the harvest... longterm thinking reduces risk of short term negative thinking.
So any way he brought back a packet of pepper seeds, 8 out of 10 have sprouted in the first week.. I know it is late but they outside in a mini green house and they are quite a niche pepper...
The Peter Pepper is an heirloom pepper that I will harvest seeds from to ensure it survives.
Endophins from eating hot peppers is very nice for depression. I have Peter Peppers on my list for next year!
These are amazing videos. I'm a pepper growing novice and these are very helpful. Thanks a million!
Glad you like them!
For anyone in a cooler climate without much sunlight, I highly recommend Murasaki and Shoshito peppers.

Thanks for the info. Will definitely venture out next year. Last season and this year I'm establishing my household staples: jalapeños, poblano, cali wonder, serrano and chiltepin.
Those are all great peppers. Delicious and highly useful. Superhots are fun but they can be a bit intense to use on the daily 😂
Those red striped peppers were awesome!
Here in Argentina it's fairly common the "quitucho", it used to be classified as Capsicum microcarpum but I think it's now under Capsicum baccatum.
It's great if you like pure heat.
Chocolate douglah is wonderful.
Some very nice looking peppers. I'm growing Birdseye peppers in the UK which are doing great. I love the look of that orange striped variety.

I also grew them last year for the first time, my first major foray into C. Baccatum. They need an extra month up front to get rolling but make up for it in productivity and a nice fruity taste. For me, a lot of the C. Baccatum varieties ended up 4-6' tall, but a Jasmyn Rissie (also C. Baccatum) was about 8' tall when it finally got too cold to keep it growing.
So glad I found your channel. My mother worked with a lady that always gave pepper plants to her friends. My mom has passed but the plants had a lot of different colored little tiny peppers. Purple,blue,red,orange,green and more can you tell me what pepper that was? They were very hot.
There are a few that come to mind - maybe Bolivian Rainbow or Chinese 5 Color?
Im growing: ghosts, 7 pot yellow, naga, maruga, habanero paper lantern, devil's tongue, Brazilian caramel ghost, sante fe grande, jalapeños, Anaheim, birds eyes. - Happy growing chilli fiends.
very nice, I have some of those same varieties growing right now indoors, currently still in their seedling stage, This year Im growing white ghosts, 7 pot yellow lava, carolina reapers, golden habaneros, jalapenos, 7 pot bubblegum red, ghengis khan brain strain, white bell peppers, california bell peppers, crispy hybrid bell peppers, yellow carolina reapers, banana peppers, chocolate bhutlah , roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and strawberries....happy growing!
I'm growing Santa Fe Grande as well. Happy growing!
no disrespect, is it spelled chiles?
Great video! Loved all the info.
Thanks for sharing your passion. I started branching out my pepper verities because the jalapeno and cayenne were not what I was looking for. Because of your channel I now have a number of sugar rush peach, serrano, Buena mulata, passilla, among other verities.
Thank you for the inspiration.
That is awesome, thanks for sharing and good luck with the new types!
I've been a pepper lover all of my life . Nobody in my family could figure me out . A couple of years ago I learned of general two's chicken at work on a Friday . I immediately fell in love . What peppers are used for this ?
Your videos truly inspire me to do something , either grow them or purchase them already grown . Thanks
We understand you! Spicy peppers are awesome. As for general tsos, not sure what kind of pepper, but many chinese restaurants frequently use the Tienjin peppers, or Chinese Red peppers. Thai chiles are also great for cooking. Hope this helps.
I'll be growing Sugar Rush Striped for the first time also. Hopefully I'll be able to compare mine to yours.
Awesome! I’m hoping we can get ripe pods before the end of our season here
Great informative video!
Thank you!
'Cabai burung ungu' is pronounced 'cha-bye boo-roong oong-goo'. Cabai is chile pepper, burung is 'bird' so bird chiles and ungu is the color purple, so purple bird chiles. Just discovered your channel and it couldn't come at a better time 'cause I just started growing my first pepper plants.
Thanks for sharing! That makes a lot of sense, given the appearance of the pepper. Good luck with your first pepper plants, we're here to help :)
The aji limon pepper sounds good. I like the look and it sounds like it'd taste good.
You guys are so informative! I have learned so much from you guys!
I like the yellow Tabasco peppers in vinegar. The trouble is that they turn red when they are ripe. Do you know if they are hot when yellow and can be picked before they turn red?
The Anaheim peppers are Annuals. I have a few plants of Jalapeno and Pepperoncini that are all between 7 and 10 years old. Soil temps below 45F and/or air temps below 40 will kill them. Because they are from the Tropics as long as they stay warmish they will live very long lives.
Just as a note: I have limited space in my garden. I only grow things I like and would normally buy at a market. Sure it would be nice to have peppers I’ve never eaten. However, I cook and I know Bell peppers, Jalepeno, Anaheim, and a few others will be needed in my pans and pots. So, that’s what I put in the ground.
It’s nice to grow what you know you like, but there are so many delicious vegetables you’ll never get at the grocery store! Try it, you’ll like it😊
One other note -- there are at least 2 zero heat cultivars of Capsicum Baccatum: Aji Delight and Mad Hatter. I prefer Aji Delight, which is a similar sweet fruity taste, size, and crunch to Sugar Rush but without any heat and with straight flattened or triangular pods.
Great informative video! In the last year, I've gotten really into gardening, and two of my favorite types of plants are peppers and tomatoes. Some varieties of peppers I'm going to try growing this year are Buena Mulata, Sugar Rush Peach, Shishito, Tibetan Lhasa and Brazilian Starfish!
Sounds great! Can't wait to see how our Yellow Brazilian Starfish turns out this year.
This season I purchased 2 small seedlings of Shishito (sweet) peppers to try them out .(PA) season was late this year so i kept them inside and when plants reached its 3rd full set of leaves i topped them. When i was able to plant in garden they went dormant for about a week then boom they took off and never looked back. Very prolific... plants are approx. 30" tall, bushy, and i have more than i can handle.... awesome performers!!
Just amazing to see so many of these options. I’m growing 15 different varieties this year and just wish I could be doing another 15 plus.
Great verities, thanks for the info
I'm growing an aji ahuachapan that is a battacum type, this year.. had a few pods from a good friend and the chillies are warm but very very tasty. Cant wait to see how that turns out. Its a 6 weeks old atm and the genetics are showing now.. very large boots for this plant are needed.
We got some of those seeds from Fatalii and are growing 1 plant this year as well. Looking forward to tasting them. What are 'boots'?
I have developed new peppers from some that you mentioned.
New viewer here, but I love gardening. my question is, with so many peppers y'all have grown over the years, which ones have had the best flavor profile for salsa? or have you experimented with making your own salsa with different peppers before?
I haven't done too much experimenting with different pepper varieties in salsa. Honestly I like jalapeño and serrano, and habanero/scotch bonnet also add great flavor. It is a goal to try more experimental salsas this year!
Amazing information thanks!! We grow tons of these its nice to see more people are doing this!!
Been waiting for someone to do a video like this! Thank you for the great content
Wow, what an interesting set of peppers. I might try one of these in the future. For now I'm growing my first set of home grown peppers, Anaheim peppers and Cayenne peppers to try the milder side of the whole spectrum before kicking it up a notch.
Those are great varieties, super useful and not overwhelmingly spicy
Thank you
I'm trying Shishito peppers this year. I'll be interested in how they taste. Thanks!
i couldnt find scotch bonnet, so i picked up a habanero from the store and im drying out the seeds will plant them in a couple days, im gonna do 1 in soil and 1 in a water set up and see how much the one in water outgrows the one in soil
Love your videos!!
I grow serrano's, bell, jala, hab, stripped and poblano, I also got but dont grow "often" scorp reaper (yellow) but that's way too hot for me. Picked up birds eye chili this year for growing this spring, gunna give them a shot for my cooking needs.
Small red chilies are so useful in the kitchen, and easy to throw a bunch of them in the freezer for use over the winter
Very informative video. Great stuff, keep it up
I like Malaysian one with the purplish color when unripe.
Hi. I really enjoy your videos. My kiddos and I are doing an experiment growing peppers of different varieties to see which we like. We are growing in containers and have sweet peppers on one side of our condo balcony and mild yo hot on the other. How far apart are the plants supposed to be so they don't cross pollinate? Because our banana peppers are growing hot and so is our sweet paprika. Help please. We want to actually grow sweet peppers.
Caught this JUST in time. The Chile Pepper Institute is having their plant sale tomorrow! I love the unique taste of habañero but can't eat them. I'll see if they have one of those orange ones.
Please do a video on growing peppers as annuals! And are there benenfits as growing them as perennials over annuals?
In cold climate the summer might be too short to produce some of the slowest varieties. I also think that older plants that have had time to grow produce more. But obviously overwintering, especially in cold climate, is a lot of work too.
Hello what is the pepper you show at 18 seconds in this video? I bought an unlabeled pepper plant that makes peppers that look just like the first one on the left. Also thank you for the very useful information in this video!
Those are red moruga scorpion peppers (SUPER spicy). Thanks for watching!
@@PepperGeek Thank you! I found a time lapse grow video for the red moruga and that looks just like it. I tried a tiny sliver of a fallen pepper so far and yes its way up there in heat like my reaper plant! Thanks for the introduction to all of these unique pepper species, I've been looking to expand what I'm already growing.
Thank you again for this great info.
Like your video's, very informative. .
We have bull's horn peppers, banana peppers, sunbright bells, regular bells, and colored bells (green yellow red) Nothing too fancy, we have grown cubanelles and jalapenos, and would like to see a greater variety of sweet peppers to experiment with combining together.
Very interesting. I'm located in Southern Ontario, on a 100 acre forested rural property. Been growing my own crops for 17 years, and this year in my second attempt to grow peppers in the last few years. This is what I found locally at a food store. "Gigantico, Horn Pepper" I'm wondering are these perennials? One thing I've notice, very slow growth, mind you it is July 1. Some flowers, only one small baby pepper thus far. First frost will be around late September, or early October. Your thoughts and comments please. Regards Dale.
Nice video really great content 😊🙏🌶🔥
And i have about 1000 varieties of diffrent chili seeds at my home. And many rare varieties also
Very cool - do you sell them?
Thanks for shareing
hello, thank you, im trying to grow scotch bonnet, and Carolina reaper. any suggestions?
Have fun! We actually have an article on growing scotch bonnets: peppergeek.com/how-to-grow-scotch-bonnet-peppers
@@PepperGeek thank you.
You have a great channel!
Thanks!
