I'm fighting anthracnose this year. First thing was a crop rotation, and there's some specific fungicides to use in rotation. It's no fun. Definitely post those pics for a better ID

@salsalady is a great resource for info on this, definitely pay attention to anything she has to say! I'll add in a few things from a local perspective since I'm also in NC: If you're not already, sign up for Got to Be NC with the Dept. of Agriculture. You'll get to display "Got to Be NC" on...

Around 6 weeks left? You should be able to get at least some harvest if you have pods now.

That half-green one I would probably wait a little longer, but the all/mostly red ones definitely. If there's a little green it's still fine - it will ripen to red before long. And these looks like NuMex varieties which are quite good green, too (especially roasted) (and then stuffed with...

I was thinking they look somewhat Anaheim-ish - which is pretty much the same thing. Shishitos aren't too different either, in general appearance.

You know what they say about people who say "Trust me"

They usually have a pretty big gap in availability from midsummer until January. Good chance you're running into that. The one thing that I don't like about them (and, unfortunately, the reason I don't use them - I need my seeds before January). BUT, usually the listings also say that they're...

Smell test may not always tell you if it's GOOD, but it's a pretty sure way to know that it's BAD :)

Not sure where you're getting them from, but there's some good reliable sources discussed around here - I would try some of them next time.

@lesmyer agreed - none of those look like poblanos or mulato. Pasilla possibly, but they're a bit short for that. They look rather anaheim-ish to me, but that's a very broad category.

I'm used to seeing them bushier, but that could easily be due to climate differences - I'm in North Carolina! Other than that it looks healthy to me! Keep us posted with pics as it develops fruit.

I agree that it definitely looks most like aleppo. Doesn't look like any of the other suggestions to me.

> a little biit goes a long way Oh yeah! I was making a salad dressing for dinner one night & used too much xantham - I ended up with salad butter

I think I agree - tepins growth pattern would be good for that sort of treatment.

Tomatoes stop setting fruit when it gets too hot - I use shade cloth to keep mine cooler so they keep producing. I haven't experienced it with peppers yet but it wouldn't surprise me that they also have a max temp. I've also never grown rocotos - maybe they're more sensitive than annuums and...

That doesn't look like anthracnose - and if it were I think you would be seeing it in your nightshades before the cucubrits.

These are NOT doing well. It looks to me like multiple problems but I'm not totally sure what all of them might be or what to do next. The cracking is probably due to the weather recently. The holes look to me like something eating them, and it also looks like some signs of anthracnose. Do you...

Not likely to do any actual fruit or pepper any time soon, just the oils. Additives like in chocolate that get into regulatory issues I don't want to deal with at this point. I want to try to get my habanero nougat working again but nougat is really difficult to work with, and probably going to...

Mint - that's the other chocolate I make: "Cool Heat" mint patties with Serrano. It's been crazy popular, but I think this one is going to outsell it.

I got some a couple years back, still haven't worked up the courage to open it. Probably should since I can take Reaper, but there's just something about that can... 😱
