Aji Habanero - Really love these peppers for seasoning.
 
Trinadad Perfume - Excellent flavor
 
Dulce Rojo Paprika - Excellent flavor
 
Peach Habanero - Might be the only Habanero I grow this season other than chocolates
 
Aji Amarilla Chinchi - Nice flavor and some heat
 
Lemon Drop - Great on fish
 
Thai - Love it on pork with some ginger and garlic.
 
Santa Fe Grande - even though mine this year was a not, I loved the ones I had last year
 
Goliath Jalapeno - Hope this year they produce
 
Purple Jalapeno - Don't know what happened this year
 
Bishop's Hat - LÔÔks cool
 
Peter Pepper - If I can get one to germinate.  
 
Chenzo - Tasty
 
Black Hungarian - Nice flavor
 
Jamaican Yellow Mushroom - Cool looking pods and tasty
 
Butch T in a pot.  Seeing this plant podded up is making me want to grow it again.
 
Cherry/big Bomb - Love these in salads
 
 
 
 
Jury is still out on some of these other peppers.  Same for some of the sweet peppers.
 
Haven't decided on which supers I will be continuing with.  So many of them look so awesome.

Already....what kind of changes ?
 
I just need to simplify things a bit.  I am looking to grow a lot of different things and I am wanting to start using my containers I got, so I could still possibly grow quite a few peppers.  
 
By January I might want to grow another 200 plants lol.  With the year being so crappy and my bikers being nots, my lanterns not producing, and several other nots, it has been frustrating this season.  
 
My jamaican yellow mushroom os a really cool looking plant... its like a squat little bush 3 feet wide and 10 inches tall... loaded with peppers... the first ones are just about to ripen... here in a few days Ill be able to try one XD
 
I too am already looking to next season...  I am going to over-winter and clone all of my best producers from this year.  I am building several compost piles and have 350 gallons worth of worm farm going... all of the organic material wil be layered onto the garden in the late fall.  Next season... I plant to have far fewer plants than this year, but they will be monsters (and they will be proven producers).  Each plant will get like 5 cubic feet of space to itself  :hell:
 
I am also going to get on top of the weed situation next year by using lanscaping cloth.  This season... i failed pretty badly with controlling the weeds... especialy on one side of the garden (the side with the anuums)... I let it go completely to hell, because unfortunately I cannot help favoritism towards my chinenses.  Actualy yesterday I made the decision to  completely rip up that part of the garden because the plants were so diseased... I didint want toi risk anything spreading to my promise children.  No sweet peppers for me this season :rolleyes:.  This week I am working to get everything looking good for some pictures.  (dont get me wrong... the garden looks unbelievable.... but the over-crowding is compounding the weed problem, because I cant even get to the pepper plants in the middle........ derp

Know what you mean, Bodeen. Had the same feeling at the end of last season, so this year I have only 3 superhots, some hots and the rest is mostly mild to sweet peppers :) but a lot with great flavor which I'm looking forward to! I'm growing the Goliath Jal this year also.
 
With my Butch T putting out yellow pods, I don't think it is true lol.....but I might still OW it.  Might do the same with the TFM...just tried it and OMG it has some nice flavor to it.  Even if I don't OW it, there will be one or two in the garden next year depending on the pod production I get this season from one.
 
Official list so far, sort of.

Made some reductions due to having enough on hand to carry me through the next year.  This should free me up for a few new varieties of peppers.

And the list will grow I'm sure!
 
 
I am sure it will too.  I mainly just put up the ones I can't spend the summer without lol.  I still have to put in my supers and more sweets.  The one thing I don't understand is why is the TS Green so consistent in its pod shapes when the yellow, red, and chocolate are not.

Maybe your Peter needs a little help. Maybe a little Viagra ?! Nice list. How come I didn't see the MoA scotch Bonnet?
 
I've never grown that pepper, don't know much about it.  The only reason I am growing, or trying to grow, the peter pepper is so I am not the only dick in the garden!!!

No Naga/Bhut types?  :tear:
 
There will be bhuts out there for sure.  My peach aren't ripe yet, but if they are as delicious as the peach habs are, they will make the garden.  Yellow bhuts for sure as well.  My chocolate bhuts are running blockier than a normal looking bhut.  Not sure if that is normal for them, or if the seed I was sent were nots.  Never grew them before and haven't really checked out pics online.  The aroma should give it away when I get to cut one open.  My reds are fatter this year than in the past.  Also would love to try the white, but not sure if I can find the seed.
Sort of at a crossroads here lol.  Yellow mushroom might go away and be replaced with more bonnets.  Going to need another taste test on the mushroom this summer.  The plants are really compact and the pods take forever to ripen.  Be a good container plant, so I will probably still grow it.
 
Red Fatalii vs Paper Lantern.  Really enjoyed eating the Fatalii this week, but want to grow the yellow as it is suppose to be fruitier.  The Lantern is just a sexy looking plant when it is grown out right and full of hanging pods.  This year's plant just didn't do well at all.
 
Spicegeist said:
Do you have Yellow Bhut seed?  I can send you some if you like...
 
I am fine on yellow bhut.  Thank you for the offer.
 
Time to go out to the garden for another harvest.  Don't know how long I can hold out from picking my first burgundy lol.  It has to be real close.
 
Just read that the Red Savina is a plant you can't save seed from.  That it won't grow true.  Guess if that is true I will need to try to find some true seed of that if I want to grow it again.
