Your peppers please!

My beautiful "Aji Dulce Amarillo" an orange Peruvian pepper, can't wait to taste it. I've also tried to germinate "Lemon drop" peppers but nada.

Those south American peppers are perennial. Treat em like a rose Bush. Just dont let them freeze. Year 2 crop is epic.
Lemon drop is OK.

I like pimento barra do ribeiro.
Or
Manzano Orange Rocoto

Think of them as shrubs not annuals.

That orange Amarillo is tasty...! ;)

yess, I like peppers cause they're perennial, I have two bishop crown from last year, and they're getting HUGE. The amarillo is growing like crazy, leafs are big as my hand.
 
Wasnt really into hot peppers, I tried shishido peppers about a month ago, fried with olive oil and fuck yes, I finally found a reason to grow another pepper plant haha.

My first one was hawaiian chilli peppers, way to fucking hot for me, they are habenero-ish but have more of a red pepper flavor than habenero, some of you might like that.

Looks like I'll be joining in on here a few months down the line.
 
I've been picking jalapeno's but all of my other hot peppers are all still green except for the cayenne which I've been harvesting and using. I'm growing a Carolina Reaper this year. According to Pepperhead https://pepperhead.com/top-10-worlds-hottest-peppers/ the Carolina Reaper is the worlds hottest pepper at 2,200,000 SHU. I don't know what exactly I'll use them for. I like the cayenne and thai peppers for cooking and using the thai's to make condiments like Prik Nam Pla, Prik Dong, and a couple other Thai condiments. I'll use the habanero's to make a jerk seasoning paste. But I don't have any idea what I'll use the Carolina Reapers for other than to get someone to eat one and then laugh at them as they suffer. :fire: I grew a Ghost Pepper a few years ago. Those were "Can't taste my food" hot. I still have some dried in the cupboard. I break them out every now and then to show my lady. She's still mad at me for getting her to take a bite out of one. I run from the kitchen when I see her eying the knives.

With all the rain, some of my peppers rot before I can pick them. The other day I had picked pepper. then gone out with the chainsaw. I had on leather gloves, and I guess some of the pepper juice had got on my hands, then the gloves aggravated it. For the rest of the morning, my hand stung. I need to wear latex gloves when picking the habs especially. I've gave away three pickings of habs, but haven't used any of them myself. We did make pepper sauce a couple three weeks back with Cayenne and Jalapeno. And the wife made some sort of Jalapeno candy. Not sure exactly what it is, but I'll report back after I've ate some of it.
 
The ghost peppers are coming alone nicely. Ready to pick a few more in a few days.
@Roger A. Shrubber was it you who got rooked on the seeds? If so let me know. I will have plenty REAL seeds soon.

yes, it was, have no idea what they actually are, but they aren't worth growing, small bland peppers with no heat and little flavor...but i've got some more to try next year, from a hopefully more reliable vendor, if they turn out bad, i'll let you know, if they turn out good, maybe we can trade some....
thnx for thinking about me....
