Last year I had 3 tomato plants and 5 pepper plants. This year I planted 26 tomato plants and 22 pepper plants. I had a few last minute additions in some pots as I wanted a little more heat. The hottest thing in my garden before those was the Serrano plants. This is what I currently have planted:
Tam Jalapeno (x2)
Grande Jalapeno (x3)
Purple Jalapeno
Jalapeno (x2)
Serrano (x3)
Early Jalapeno (x2)
Hungarian Wax (x2)
Black Hungarian
Anaheim
Big Jim
Fresno
Sweet Chocolate
Cayenne (late addition)
Tabasco (late addition)
I thought about starting some Habaneros this year, but so many growers around here grow them I can get them ridiculously cheap at the farmer's market in the fall. I think last year I spent $12 for 22 pounds of peppers. I am a salsa making fiend, but I think this year I will be trying to make a few hot sauces for fun.
