This year I'm growing a lot of sweet and milder peppers for a change. I've been growing too many super hotties over the last several years and I always end up with a huge surplus, but never with the milder ones which rarely make it past Christmas.

What is everyone growing this year on the sweet or mild side and what are your favorites?

Here's roughly what I'll be growing, I don't think I've ever grown this many C. annuums:

Sweet
1. giant aconcagua(Cubanelle)
2. red lamuyo
3. orange mini bell(?sweet bite maybe)
4. Tobago Scotch bonnet sweet
5. Botinecka zuta(cheese Pimento type)
6. szeged paprika(Hungarian paprika type)
7. super shepherd(Italian ramshorn type)
8. Tobago seasoning(?red, maybe yellow[AJ])
9. pimento L(Great productive Pimento type)
10. Pimenta D'espelette(French "paprika")
11. Murupi doce
12. Jimmy Nardello**
13. Mexican mixed mini bells**
14. Super sweet cherry

Mild
1. poblano brown(mulato)
2. poblano red
3. crimson hot(A great red poblano type
4. Chilaca
5. big chile hybrid(Or possibly some better Anaheim type)
6. numex sunset**
7. bishop's crown(Seems to have become popular recently;))
8. cascabel
9. Caterina/Catarina (Tobacco and berry flavor)
10,11. golden Greek(2 sources,1 is known to be untrue but interesting)

Medium
1,2,3. Chimayo(3 new seed sources)
4. Fresno**
5. Jalpeno M
4. Numex pinata(new seed source)
5. jalapeno gigantia f2(what the hell)
6. mirasol**
7. guajillo

**Maybe, but likely not growing these this season
 
I have a list that I am updating as seeds sprout.

I too am growing a lot more sweet and flavorful peppers.

I will post when the list is done!!

Super burners are great, but you can only eat so many and make so much sauce and powder!

Your list looks pretty great!

Now, now, Mr. Unattractive Smugness, I've never claimed to a chilehead habanero muncher. I've always been careful to point out I am a pepper geek, not a chilehead. And Potawie asked for a list of our milder peppers, not the hotter ones we're growing as well. That is only about half of what I'm growing.

So, take your wagging finger and do something more productive with it. Like picking your nose.

Damn woman, you crack me up!:lol: I tried to put some thought into what I'm growing for my first time. I too, am growing some hot ones, but I wanted to make my own seasonings and I also love bells... just not the green ones.
I've got a few different jalapenos that I want to mix together for chipolte seasoning, so to keep it on the mild side. I'm growing senorita's and fooled ya's to mix in. About 4 or 5 for chili seasoning and such!

ancho(poblano)
anaheim
banana sweet
beaver dam
bulgarian carrot
cherry sweet
cherry mild
cubaanelle
cyklon

golden treasure
guajillo
hungarian wax
jalapeno
jimmy nardello
mucho nacho
pasilla bajio

No offense TB, but I was just waiting to see who would be the first Macho Man to start a pissing contest in this thread.

Perhaps, if we emphasis the 'ex'.

And it was in a past life where you didn't cook. You cook too good to be let out of the kitchen much.

Serrano
Maybe Jalapenos...maybe


The rest are Hots and Superhots.

I knew it wouldn't be long before the post 'ho arrived...but then there was a mention of "urine" earlier.
