Hello All,
I'm a new member who has primarily grown cayenne pepper varieties in the past. I'm in zone 6b near Philadelphia PA. I'm going to try to grow some pepper varieties in 2017 (in raised beds and containers) that will be new to me, and I thought I'd share the list and ask the community for some general advice.
I have obtained seeds for all the varieties on the list below, and I plan to start the seeds in mid-February.
Please let me know if you see any major discrepancies in the plant heights, days to maturity or species that I have listed below.
Would you suggest I organize my chili pepper garden by plant height, or species or in some other manner?
Also, which of the varieties listed would be best suited for containers? I plan to use 15 gallon nursery pots for my container gardening.
And, please let me know if you have any other pepper gardening advice for me in general, or specifically pertaining to the peppers on my list.
Fyi, I've tried to list the peppers by species and then by shortest to tallest plant...to the best of my knowledge (and googling efforts).
Thank you!
