We pick our coloured peppers as soon as they start to turn from green - the tiniest spot of colour - and let them ripen in a cool room - they don't deteriorate if we make sure they are dry when we pick them and they taste great. I never, ever use green peppers - not a flavour we enjoy at all, but the coloured ones are a favourite for all!
I plant my sweet peppers with 2' between each. Plenty of airflow, and minimal problems. Organic near Buffalo, NY. Gotta wait till the end of August- sometimes Sept.... But worth it. Growing Yellow Monster, Ozark red and Orange bell from Baker creek. All are doing well!
Hi Sarah, thank you for your videos. I am from Hungary and our country is very famous of dried paprika. I have checked and these are the 2 varieties that people use to make it. Capsicum annuum var. longum Capsicum annuum var. longum grossum I hope it helps.
I really enjoy your videos ! Especially in the garden. I love that. But it's heart breaking about the ones that have gone bad. I really hate that for you ! Well God Bless, & Be Safe !👍👍☺☺💜💜🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌷🌷
I started my bell pepper from seeds this year. I'm very proud of myself. We usually buy plant starter's. The taste of a bell pepper you have grown is 100% different than those you buy in the grocery store. I loving my garden this year. Tomatoes, green bells, cucumbers and banana peppers on my plate daily. 😍
Hi Sarah! Too cool😄 about your crossed pepper- you didn't say how spicy they are? Hope they come back true for you. Maybe you can patent & sell those seeds!
Found this very interesting. Never gave any thought to the damage to my peppers that it is the variety . Thank you for pointing that out.. I have bought the mini colored bags of bells from Wal mart. I’ve saved the seeds. They do grow and I’ve had good luck . Glad to hear your going to show how you roast and prepare your peppers. Thanks and God Bless You and your Family .
Try Big Bertha Peppers. They are slow to start but, once they do they take off . When it gets cold they can be dug up and moved inside, They will keep growing and replanted out side next year, they will keep going.
OH Sarah I am a failure but am going to try again & probably just keep trying- I am unsure of what I am doing wrong at this stage but persistence will win. Your peppers look fabulous. Cheers Denise - Australia
One thing you can make with the ajvarski (sp) peppers is Ajvar, a Czech roasted red pepper and eggplant spread. Mix 3.3lb roast red peppers with 2.2lb roasted eggplant, ~6 chopped hot chilies, ~6 crushed cloves of garlic, ~1.5 tsp salt, black pepper, 1/3 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar. All the flavors are to taste. The spread is great on bread as a dip, as a sandwich spread, as a pasta sauce, as topping on grilled chicken, etc... I hope you try this and enjoy.
I got the chocolate bells from Bakers Creek. Turns out they are a mini pepper but with the best flavor. I also got the no heat Habanero which are wonderful.I as well do not want to depend on the grocery store and trying to grow all we can plus go to organic pick your own farms a few times during the season. God's blessing to you and yours.
I got them from Baker Creek also. The first 4 or 5 were regular size for me and then the rest were mini. I was so confused. I thought it was a result of cross pollination. It is a very prolific plant though. I only planted one and I really like it. Will definitely plant again next year.
Those were the only bells I planted in that area so I think that is the way they are to be. The taste is wonderful. Love when I can harvest food I grew. God bless you
Thank you for the review. We have to grow our peppers in the greenhouse hear in the north, we have grown King of the north here for years. This year we're branching out and trying a bunch of different ones.
For all you-tubers posting video's on gardening, Please list your growing zone and elevation. I watch Gardener Scott a lot, he is in zone 5-b in I think Col., I am in zone 5-A in NH. But he is at 7000 ft. elevation, I am at 1150 ft. elevation! Big difference! So often when watching gardening video's, I need to watch numerous video's from 1 source to find out this info.
My daughter makes the cowboy candy and i just love it . She also cans just the syrup from the cowboy candy so you can pour it over eggs anything and it too is great. I like just a little heat but, i love sweet. And when i first take a sip of the syrup it is sweet, very sweet but, once you swallow WOW, the heat is there. She made so much everyone had both for Christmas in a pretty little jar with twine decorating it. It was so pretty didn't want to open. lol
Love this information. I am growing a handful of sweets and 2 hot peppers this year. I like the Alma Paprika but agree, there must be something closer to the store type. I will try your recommendation.
We grew a hot pepper last year called, lemon pepper. It sounds very much like the lemon drop that you have. I plan on ordering the Not-a-peno next year. Thank you for all the great information! Always a pleasure to watch you guys!
Used to nice jalapeño salad from a local restaurant. Bought a handful jalapeño the other day and cut them for the deep freezer. When I washed my hands I started burning and it kept on for two days. Now I understand Wil look out for seeds.
Oh Sarah! Your enthusiasm for peppers is so sincere and hearfelt. Sigh! I hate peppers! LOL! I have tried believe me, especially the yellow, orange and red. But they cause stomach upset and...burps. Can't do! But I love your spirit! However, I am on the edge of my seat for the same kind of vid for your tomatoes!!! Give me a salt shaker and a couple slices of nice crusty buttered bread and any kind of tomato, my idea of heaven.
Oh my! Green, Yellow, Red and Purple Peppers! Hot and Spicy🌶️ or Sweet and deliciously Not-A-Peno🌶️ I'm going to have to try finding these Not a peno peppers!
Go FERMENTS!!! i have become ADDICTED to making and consuming Ferments this year.... Kefir is my top priority ferment the past several months as it is a daily project and i Love it! Go to Steve Shapson, The Cheese Maker, for Grains.... please do more ferment videos, Sarah! Love and Blessings upon You and Your LovedOnes!
I love all peppers pretty much! I love the taste of green bells red bells yellow bells! Thanks for sharing your videos. I hope you make some of making your spices! Is Kevin going to do a tomato video. I pretty much feel like a kindred spirit with him when it comes to tomatoes. As long as they are home grown I will eat it. Takes me back to being a little girl and my grandmas garden. I would eat so many tomatoes while I was out in the garden with her the acid would break me out on my chin! Awe the memories!
I just watched your episode where you tied up Tomato plants with cotton string which you get at walmart in the kitchen department. Head to the yarn section and get cotton yarn. More for your money and works great
My mother loved a thick bell pepper stuffed with sausage and onions topped with cheese and she would stuff tomatoes too. The smell from the oven would fill the house and your mouth would water.
I can give you a southern tip for sure. Down here in South Carolina Clemson developed a pepper. Just like how you have your pepper for the cold. We have ours to help the root knot nematode. One is called Charleston Bellpepper not so popular. The real popular one and the better of the two I believe is called Carolina wonder. They are for sale at Southern seed exchange exposure whatever it’s called! lol. The Carolina wonder is my favorite one and it really does help with that bad nematode.
I absolutely love your informative videos! Will have to remember & get some seeds for those "notapeno" peppers - love the flavor but not the heat. & congrats on the new cross breed!
I think something like Serenade would help the peppers. I think there are a few different products that use natural bacteria to protect plants from a few different wilt diseases. Serenade worked great on my bell peppers and heirloom tomatoes this year.
We have grown lemon drop for years...a big hit with the local Chinese restaurants...I trade the peppers for meals! They come up volunteer each year and are one of the last to turn yellow and get that full citrus/sugar flavor. They dry well, but don't keep the pretty yellow color. They are almost as hot as a Habanero pepper. The plants are huge producers of small bright yellow wonderful peppers. They turn purple when it gets cold at night...and are even more attractive. We fill bowls with all the colors of peppers in the fall and they look like huge bouquets of flowers for weeks! Love peppers...
Here we take peppers and slice them into 1" slices, toss into pan ( I use dutch oven) with oil and butter and fry them up with a little garlic if you like. When limp, pile them into a " torpedo " roll that has been buttered, sprinkle with salt and eat. YUM. You can sprinkle parmesan cheese on it if you like. I used green bells for this.
Re: the cross of emerald & jalapeño. Each year I save one or two of my pepper plants and winter them over as a house plant. Just before a predicted frost, I will severely prune the pepper to about 3 or 4 inches, leaving only a few stalks. Pot them and keep them near a window with daily turning and water. In just a week or two, the peppers are sending out new growth. Yes, we will harvest peppers over the winter. Come spring, transplant to the garden. This will work for a few years. But, I hope your seeds are a true cross and will bear the parent characteristics. I live in the mountains of central Virginia-- Really enjoy your channel. Gene
Hello! Can you help me? Can I plant all kinds of pepper from the fruit from the store? Can I plant both the triangular and the square (I've heard that they are male and female fruits) ones? Thanks 🙏
My son grew around 100 pepper variety one year! It was so exciting:)! We are in North Alabama. They were gorgeous! Ghost peppers, peter peppers, habaneros, poblanos, you name it he grew it! I am trying fish pepper this year. From Baker's Creek:)! And a few others- lol:)! Yours are gorgeous and your mix bell and jalapenos was really fun! Also, I want to try the paprika pepper now!
This is my first year to follow you and I am so very impressed with how you all are living out your dream. I see a lot of joy and a lot of hard work. Your plants always look so happy and healthy. Your animals do as well. Do you ever hire out or do you all do all of this on your own?
Go visit Hungary, if you want to learn all about peppers or real paprika! It is paradise for peppers. by the way we eat most of them raw, besides pickling them.
I backtracked to comment here after my first season of growing colored bells. I tried Flavorburst Yellow Bells and have had pretty good luck here in East TN. I also grew the same Northern King red with good results. Tried a purple with mixed results. Definitely want to try that roasting red.
You have to try the chocolate peppers. They taste good and make some delicious salsas, a little spicy but I like my salsa spicy. You can harvest before they change colors and they aren't so spicy.
@Living traditions. Sarah, I have been watching your youtube channel for quite a while now and you and Kevin are my favorite homesteaders. You guys are so genuine. I know this is an old video but I wanna try my hand at more pepper growing. We have a small yard and am going to try growing next year in 20 gal tubs. My question is can I put the tubs next to each other or will that cause cross pollinating? Or do you have a suggestion as far as how far to plant from each other? I hope you will see this! Thank you for your videos. Enjoy every single one!!
I love green peppers and found that frying them up with mushrooms in a bit of oil and salt is oddly delicious. Not sure if anyone else would think so but one of my cats certainly agrees and she will beg me for some of the green peppers too, haha. I wonder if they have a red version of the not-a-puegno because I'm also a wuss about heat but i do love the taste of sambal I just can't eat a lot of it. I feared a not spicy version would just taste like a red paprika pepper.
Iflie when I was a kid my mom would pan fry green bell peppers with a little oil until they were scalded and tender-crisp, then salt them and put on buttered wheat bread to make a sandwich. Sounds strange but it’s delicious 🤤 now I want one lol
@@SarahHansford Doesn't sound strange to me, if the bread is good a lot of things that are simple just make a great sandwich. People focus a lot on the red peppers but the green have a lot of flavor too. A bit of sunfloweroil and salt enhances it as do some regular run of the mill mushrooms. I love that combination on pizza too.
You never know what you are going to get when you plant crosses....but they can be stabilized get as many plants as you can and gradually you can pick the traits you want and plant. keep all the plants separate ..It may take a few years but it can be done..Actually mild Jalapenos are a bell jalapeno cross.
Hi Sara, My wife's family makes Ajvar (Serbian Roasted Red Pepper Sauce) with the roasted peppers. It is very good as a spread on bread or toast. Mix it with some parmesan cheese or even add it to pasta or along with grilled meats. They also can it too make it last into winter.
I love bell peppers too Sarah. Since I don't own a back yard or homestead (yet) I live in an apartment and I usually buy my peppers from the supermarket. I usually buy green and red and when I want to splurge I'll treat myself to an orange or yellow bell pepper when I want a variety of color. Here where I live jalepenos are plentiful to buy along with habaneros and some times scotch bonnet but that's about it for spicy fresh peppers. I also like serrano peppers which aren't spicy but sort of mild and has a bit of sweetness. Keep us updated about those paprika peppers; I'd love to see you make paprika from them.
Have you guys tried selling finished products at the farmers market? Good way to increase item profit with a bit of sweat equity. :) I would imagine some of your pepper sauces and fermented/pickled peppers would be a hit!
Sarah, do you make pepper jelly? Used to use mint jelly with my lamb chops but since I have tried pepper jelly............I love it and now I have a little lamb with my pepper jelly.
I had the same issue with my Golden Cal Wonders. They are super tasty though and we really enjoyed them (after I cut out the bad spots). I wondered what the deal is with them and why they get the rotten spots so easily? I really thought it was something I did accidentally.
I've never had luck growing peppers, small plants with poor production. And don't usually get color even though zone 7. 😕. Maybe you have developed a new variety with your super sized jalapeno plant! If you're able to grow more next year, think about propagating for seed sales. 😃❤️
I had tried a pretty purple bell once...the flavor just was not there...just pretty. I definitely want to try the Notapeno peppers! We are a mild-Med. heat lovers. We grew green bells and let some turn red and nice mix of color - I chop/dice, flash freeze and but in freezer bags with my onions...Great video and explanation on all the types!
Red chili peppers = Sambal Oelek! I had no idea what to do with all those red chili peppers until i found the recipe for sambal oelek - if you like sirachi or spicy relish you have to try it! Next year I'm growing 10 plants as all of our friends want some. PS - I am giving up on colored bells...
I just tried hot banana peppers last year. It was a young plant and late in the season, so I did not get many fruits. This year is its second season, and I'm looking forward to see how it does. It's now one of my new favorite chili peppers, not super spicy, but a nice, delicious kick. I had a great season with my Serranos, very fragrant, and the taste was incredible! Your peppers are so beautiful!
Would love to know a bit more about the red roaster pepper. What was the name again? The CC is giving me a name that comes up with nothing. Would you be offering seed on etsy? Wonderfully informative vlog! Thank you and God Bless.
I’ve got gallon bags of lemon drop peppers and Hungarian wax peppers in the freezer from last year...more than I can use up......lemon drops are prolific producers
Peppers are my favorite as well. This was very informative. Thanks. I love drying and fermenting peppers. I’ve been experimenting with paprika peppers as well and haven’t had a ton of luck. I’m trying sheepnose and one I shortened to PASS from baker creek. I grow lemon drop and pickle them. I grow peach sugar rich to ferment and I love them. Spicier than a jalapeño but a really nice sweet flavor as well. I’m going to make a sauce with them this year. Black Hungarian is my favorite new pepper this year. Very prolific and I think it will ferment well. I have no luck with colored bells. Ever! I run into the same issues as you do. I’m going to try the lilac next year.
Did somebody say peppers? I love growing peppers, but my production is way down this year .... you have much warmer temps than I do here in central Pa, yet my plants are in "survival mode" .... dropping the buds left and right. My plants are leggy as well .... poor (re. terrible) start in the seed starters. I am growing two paprika peppers from Baker Creek this year ... Ostra Cyklon & Leutschauer ... they seem to be coming on now, as many peppers seem to be late bloomers here, and like the later months. I'm impressed by the variety of paprika pepper you are growing, as well as some of the other peppers. Right now my favorite pepper for making pepper flakes are the Cajun Belles ... they have a sweet component, and just enough heat to not be overwhelming. They are a small pepper, but are very prolific .... my best producers in the garden. I think you would like them, and based on your green thumb .... they would prolly go nuts in your garden. Their wall is kinda thin which makes them easy to dehydrate and great for crushing up for pepper flakes. I've been growing them for 3-4 years and will grow them for as long as I am gardening. I really really enjoyed this tour of your pepper plants and may have gotten a few new varieties to think about for next year .... much thanks. Take care to you and your family.
wow... that is a very nice garden
We pick our coloured peppers as soon as they start to turn from green - the tiniest spot of colour - and let them ripen in a cool room - they don't deteriorate if we make sure they are dry when we pick them and they taste great. I never, ever use green peppers - not a flavour we enjoy at all, but the coloured ones are a favourite for all!
Liz G kk
Thank you for that tip. I can't stand the taste of green peppers (they taste like soap) but I love colored peppers.
I plant my sweet peppers with 2' between each. Plenty of airflow, and minimal problems. Organic near Buffalo, NY. Gotta wait till the end of August- sometimes Sept.... But worth it. Growing Yellow Monster, Ozark red and Orange bell from Baker creek. All are doing well!
I do the same thing
Exactly what I do as well :)
Sarah, I would Love your recipe for your Chili Powder, or Taco Seasoning. Want to plan which peppers to grow next year. Love your garden!
Great video, very informative. Thank you for all you do and the lives you have touched in the homesteading community. May God bless you and yours.
I agree! I was thinking the same thing! lol
Would be interesting
Would love to learn also
What a beautiful yield on all your peppers. I am learning new things each day. Thank you for sharing this.
Great. Captive.
What Wonders! Thank you, Sweet Sara,going through the peppers.
Want to thank you for information. Just ordered the Nadapeños seeds. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. God Bless 🙏🏻
Wish my peppers looked as good as yours. My tomatoes and peppers are just beginning.
Hi Sarah, thank you for your videos. I am from Hungary and our country is very famous of dried paprika. I have checked and these are the 2 varieties that people use to make it.
Capsicum annuum var. longum
Capsicum annuum var. longum grossum
I hope it helps.
I really enjoy your videos ! Especially in the garden. I love that. But it's heart breaking about the ones that have gone bad. I really hate that for you ! Well God Bless, & Be Safe !👍👍☺☺💜💜🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌷🌷
Fresno Chili peppers are my favorite. I saved seeds from some I bought at a grocery store last year, I got 100% germination.
This video is GREAT!
My kids mixed bananas and Hungarians together last year 😅 give them a big whiff, the bananas will always smell sweeter
I started my bell pepper from seeds this year. I'm very proud of myself. We usually buy plant starter's.

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers . A great video Sarah. Thanks for sharing. 🌻💕🌻💕
I can not wait to try the nadapeño, I will be ordering seeds for next year.
For a bell pepper this yet I am growing the Bull Nose Bell Pepper and so far so good.
OH Sarah I am a failure but am going to try again & probably just keep trying- I am unsure of what I am doing wrong at this stage but persistence will win. Your peppers look fabulous. Cheers Denise - Australia
awesome peppers
Súper video!!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Chili relleno! Cheese/pork stuffed breaded peppers that are air fried. Oooh pickled banana peppers! 😋!
One thing you can make with the ajvarski (sp) peppers is Ajvar, a Czech roasted red pepper and eggplant spread. Mix 3.3lb roast red peppers with 2.2lb roasted eggplant, ~6 chopped hot chilies, ~6 crushed cloves of garlic, ~1.5 tsp salt, black pepper, 1/3 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar. All the flavors are to taste. The spread is great on bread as a dip, as a sandwich spread, as a pasta sauce, as topping on grilled chicken, etc... I hope you try this and enjoy.
Ajvar is not Czech though. It’s a Balkan traditional condiment.
@@cangel201 I was given my recipe by someone from the CZ Republic, so that was my assumption. Thank you for correcting me.
Great video. I love seeing in depth reviews like this!!
I got the chocolate bells from Bakers Creek. Turns out they are a mini pepper but with the best flavor.

If you smoke those paprika peppers before you dry them; you would have smoked paprika which enhances the flavor considerably. Great for goulash!

I struggle with growing peppers but it's getting better year by year. I'll keep trying and eventually I'll figure out which does well in my area
This year is bad for peppers in my garden
You have to try the chocolate peppers. They taste good and make some delicious salsas, a little spicy but I like my salsa spicy. You can harvest before they change colors and they aren't so spicy.
Sarah Grande!
@Living traditions. Sarah, I have been watching your youtube channel for quite a while now and you and Kevin are my favorite homesteaders. You guys are so genuine. I know this is an old video but I wanna try my hand at more pepper growing. We have a small yard and am going to try growing next year in 20 gal tubs. My question is can I put the tubs next to each other or will that cause cross pollinating? Or do you have a suggestion as far as how far to plant from each other? I hope you will see this!
Thank you for your videos. Enjoy every single one!!
I love green peppers and found that frying them up with mushrooms in a bit of oil and salt is oddly delicious. Not sure if anyone else would think so but one of my cats certainly agrees and she will beg me for some of the green peppers too, haha. I wonder if they have a red version of the not-a-puegno because I'm also a wuss about heat but i do love the taste of sambal I just can't eat a lot of it. I feared a not spicy version would just taste like a red paprika pepper.
Iflie when I was a kid my mom would pan fry green bell peppers with a little oil until they were scalded and tender-crisp, then salt them and put on buttered wheat bread to make a sandwich. Sounds strange but it’s delicious 🤤 now I want one lol
@@SarahHansford Doesn't sound strange to me, if the bread is good a lot of things that are simple just make a great sandwich. People focus a lot on the red peppers but the green have a lot of flavor too. A bit of sunfloweroil and salt enhances it as do some regular run of the mill mushrooms. I love that combination on pizza too.
Great video Sarah!
You never know what you are going to get when you plant crosses....but they can be stabilized get as many plants as you can and gradually you can pick the traits you want and plant. keep all the plants separate ..It may take a few years but it can be done..Actually mild Jalapenos are a bell jalapeno cross.
I really like migardeners purple beauty sweet peppers
Hi Sara, My wife's family makes Ajvar (Serbian Roasted Red Pepper Sauce) with the roasted peppers. It is very good as a spread on bread or toast. Mix it with some parmesan cheese or even add it to pasta or along with grilled meats. They also can it too make it last into winter.
Please share your recipe for the roasted pepper soup!
I love bell peppers too Sarah. Since I don't own a back yard or homestead (yet) I live in an apartment and I usually buy my peppers from the supermarket. I usually buy green and red and when I want to splurge I'll treat myself to an orange or yellow bell pepper when I want a variety of color. Here where I live jalepenos are plentiful to buy along with habaneros and some times scotch bonnet but that's about it for spicy fresh peppers. I also like serrano peppers which aren't spicy but sort of mild and has a bit of sweetness. Keep us updated about those paprika peppers; I'd love to see you make paprika from them.
Have you guys tried selling finished products at the farmers market? Good way to increase item profit with a bit of sweat equity. :) I would imagine some of your pepper sauces and fermented/pickled peppers would be a hit!
Sarah, do you make pepper jelly? Used to use mint jelly with my lamb chops but since I have tried pepper jelly............I love it and now I have a little lamb with my pepper jelly.
I had the same issue with my Golden Cal Wonders. They are super tasty though and we really enjoyed them (after I cut out the bad spots). I wondered what the deal is with them and why they get the rotten spots so easily? I really thought it was something I did accidentally.
I've never had luck growing peppers, small plants with poor production. And don't usually get color even though zone 7. 😕. Maybe you have developed a new variety with your super sized jalapeno plant! If you're able to grow more next year, think about propagating for seed sales. 😃❤️
I had tried a pretty purple bell once...the flavor just was not there...just pretty. I definitely want to try the Notapeno peppers! We are a mild-Med. heat lovers. We grew green bells and let some turn red and nice mix of color - I chop/dice, flash freeze and but in freezer bags with my onions...Great video and explanation on all the types!
I was wondering are you going dehydrate the peppers in the air fryer if so I'd like to see how that works. And ty for the videos
Red chili peppers = Sambal Oelek! I had no idea what to do with all those red chili peppers until i found the recipe for sambal oelek - if you like sirachi or spicy relish you have to try it! Next year I'm growing 10 plants as all of our friends want some. PS - I am giving up on colored bells...
I just tried hot banana peppers last year. It was a young plant and late in the season, so I did not get many fruits. This year is its second season, and I'm looking forward to see how it does. It's now one of my new favorite chili peppers, not super spicy, but a nice, delicious kick. I had a great season with my Serranos, very fragrant, and the taste was incredible! Your peppers are so beautiful!
I’d be saving seeds from that plant too and develop your own variety of peppers the “Living Tradition” Pepper
Would love to know a bit more about the red roaster pepper. What was the name again? The CC is giving me a name that comes up with nothing. Would you be offering seed on etsy? Wonderfully informative vlog! Thank you and God Bless.
Ajvarski. I ordered some from Baker Creek today! Didn’t want to risk them being sold out in February 😂
I’ve got gallon bags of lemon drop peppers and Hungarian wax peppers in the freezer from last year...more than I can use up......lemon drops are prolific producers
Peppers are my favorite as well. This was very informative. Thanks. I love drying and fermenting peppers. I’ve been experimenting with paprika peppers as well and haven’t had a ton of luck. I’m trying sheepnose and one I shortened to PASS from baker creek. I grow lemon drop and pickle them. I grow peach sugar rich to ferment and I love them. Spicier than a jalapeño but a really nice sweet flavor as well. I’m going to make a sauce with them this year. Black Hungarian is my favorite new pepper this year. Very prolific and I think it will ferment well. I have no luck with colored bells. Ever! I run into the same issues as you do. I’m going to try the lilac next year.
Should have included the names of the peppers in the Show More.
Did somebody say peppers? I love growing peppers, but my production is way down this year .... you have much warmer temps than I do here in central Pa, yet my plants are in "survival mode" .... dropping the buds left and right. My plants are leggy as well .... poor (re. terrible) start in the seed starters. I am growing two paprika peppers from Baker Creek this year ... Ostra Cyklon & Leutschauer ... they seem to be coming on now, as many peppers seem to be late bloomers here, and like the later months. I'm impressed by the variety of paprika pepper you are growing, as well as some of the other peppers. Right now my favorite pepper for making pepper flakes are the Cajun Belles ... they have a sweet component, and just enough heat to not be overwhelming. They are a small pepper, but are very prolific .... my best producers in the garden. I think you would like them, and based on your green thumb .... they would prolly go nuts in your garden. Their wall is kinda thin which makes them easy to dehydrate and great for crushing up for pepper flakes. I've been growing them for 3-4 years and will grow them for as long as I am gardening. I really really enjoyed this tour of your pepper plants and may have gotten a few new varieties to think about for next year .... much thanks. Take care to you and your family.
I would also appreciate your chili powder recipe
