Newbie needs advice!

Hi everyone! Beginning chili head here....

I have in the garden now:

10 Green pepper plants producing massive amounts....
1 Lilac pepper plant with 4 large peppers growing...
6 Jalapeno plants producing nicely....
1 Thai pepper plant beginning to produce.....
1 Hot Portugal Pepper with lots of large peppers and one turning bright red...

I love watching them grow!

Now the questions:

1.) Where is the best place to get seeds on the net? Any in the states?
2.) Would like to add 5 varieties of medium/low intensity hot peppers with lots of flavor and color. What would you pick? I have to go slow with these things...

Thanks Jason

Welcome from Lake Constance, Germany!
Medium heat, a lot of flavor, nice color? Lemon drop is a fine choice. Poblano, Jalapeno, Serrano are fine. And there is a habanero-related chinense variety with moderate heat and a lot of flavor. I don't remember the name now and haven't tasted it myself. But I'm sure someone here will help out. Pepperonis and pepperoncinis are available in a variety of heat levels. The Turkish variety I grow has some moderate heat and a lot of fruity flavor. It makes a tasty powder and the fresh pods fit perfectly into a salad.

Anaheim, Banana, Cheyenne, and Black Hungarian are a few in the low heat class.

Serrano are fine.

I second that. You won't be disappointed with them. Take the plunge and get some habaneros too. I grew these the first time I had chilli plants in the garden. Just use sparingly in cooking and you'll soon be wanting more.

Hungarian Hot Wax is another good low heat good flavour chilli and it is ideal for stuffing!!!!
