Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.
What will you be growing next season?

Pumpkin Habanero primarily, looking for more unique varieties.
I had to review this entire thread, to see if I already responded. Seems like these threads (thankfully) come up frequently, plus this topic is pretty much always on my mind...
I've been planning out lists and I keep changing a lot of the schemes, but there are a few constants, namely:
-shit-ton of Yella Scotch Bonnets. I grew far too many Yella Bonnets this year, and in really happy that I did.
-hand full of other-color Bonnet-types (Bahama Goats, Freeports, Safis, those big'n'pretty Chocolates from White Hot Peppers, etc
-some low-heat chinense: NuMex Trick Or Treat, Aji Jobitos
-Superhots. Probably more than I ought to. Mostly "old" favorites (Red Brains, Nagas, jpgs, boc, 7Jonah) and some new-to-me stuff (7Douglah, BBM, regular red Ghosts, other weird shit I got in the stash and forgot.) I am super stoked to grow of Cappy-strain Brains, and I'm also kinda surprised that I'm considering NOT growing Yellow Brains, which was an unthinkable notion the last two years. Regardless, I have recognized that I ought to grow fewer Supers but I also realize that I am weak-willed and will likely grow as many or more than before.
-yellow Fataliis.
-baccatums. I don't even recall what varieties of purchased, but I grew Bishop's Crowns on 2018, and I'm borderline obsessed.
-I think my big theme this time around will be growing the simple, pedestrian Mexican-type peppers that I can usually find at the produce spots. In addition to Zapotec Jalapeños (I grew them in 2018 and I'm in love), I'll be growing some of the same favorites i grew last season (Guajillos, Poblanos, Serranos, regz Orange Habs) plus some I'd neglected so far (de Arbol, Puya, Pasilla Negra***)... Stuff that isn't deadly hot, but useful, "normal" shit that nobody brags about. I found that, like with most things, the homegrown shit tastes better than the market stuff. But, mostly, I find that these types make me feel like a real and normal gardener. When I grow Sevens, I r stoked, but it makes me feel like a weird pepper pervert; a hopeless fetishist getting illicit kicks from painful and esoteric chiles. Of course, in missing myself; the concept that growing poblanos makes me a humble and honest farmer or some shit is a really creepy fantasy, in and of itself. I oughta be ashamed of myself.
**this reminds me: I need Pasilla Negra seeds. I think they are the same as Pasilla Bajio?? Can anyone recommend a reliable source for the seeds? I've only seen then available from some dubious vendors...

Sandia Seeds offers Pasilla Bajio / Chilaca - https://www.sandiaseed.com/products/pasilla-chilaca
I was looking at these and their Guajillo Chile for next season - was thinking about a practical pepper focus for the summer season especially with my winter indoor grow being mainly the hotter, less day-to-day use type peppers. I bought from Sandia once before and it was all good.
Question for you, Rob, where did you source your Zapotec Jalapeños? Have heard you rave on them and was thinking they'd might fit in well with a practical grow list. Didn't grow Jap's at all last year and would like to get them back into the rotation.

Thanks to cmpman1974's generosity, I have his OG Brain Strain Red and Tovarii to grow, which I'm pretty jacked about. I actually started both already, but they'll be growing next season - at least if I have the skills to germinate the Tovarii they will.
The BSR-OG popped at 100% germination already, so if the Tovarii doesn't hatch I suppose I'll have only myself to blame.

Thanks for the lead on the Pasilla seeds. I saw Sandia had them from a Google search, but I wasn't sure they were reputable or not. If you had good experiences, I'll give then a shot.CaneDog said:
I grew Guajillos from seeds saves from pods I bought at the local mercado. If I cull the off-color seeds, I get 80%-90% germination from Guajillo pods sold one then over, on plastic baggies. The Pasilla seeds I get from dried pods aren't nearly as intact and they don't germinate for me. Hence, the need to find a reputable source.
I got Zapotec seeds from Gary M, aka Windchicken. I saved seeds from open-pollinated pods; of be happy to send you some but they weren't isolated. Just HMU via pm if you're interested.
A month late in response, but yes, Sandia Seeds is a reputable company and I at least grab a few packs from them every year. Also check out the Chili Pepper Institute (NM State University) at https://cpi.nmsu.edu/
I've been growing stuff for years now, but for the next season i armed myself with :
-Carolina reaper (seeds from my friends and bought from ebay)
-Chocolate Habanero
-Numex suave orange
-Bhut jolokia ghost pepper
-Red cherry small
-Tiger skin (purple pheno; bought on ebay)
-Trinidad scorpion pepper Butch
Carolina reaper from ebay is already sprouted but seedlings look a bit small. I also have 5 strong seedlings of tiger skin. Looking foward to this season!
I also have seeds from past years, but unfortunatly i dont know strain names, since i got seeds from all around.

Pubes: Manzano Red, Manzano Orange
Bonnets: Boatmans, Boyds, Freeports, Dreadies, MOAs, Schneiders, Longs, Cappuccinos, Giant Chocolates, TFMs
Bonus Bonnets: Goats, Beasts, EO Rust
Old Mex: Chilhaucle Negro, Chilhaucle Rojo, Guajillo, Pasilla Bajio, Arbols, Puya
New Mex: 6-4, Big Jim
Hab: Barbados, Chichen Itza, Lemon
Bhut: BOC, Arseclown, Salmon
Jala: Brown, Giant
Poblano: Mulato Isleno, Giant
Stuff: Cubanelle, Fresno, Spicy Cayenne, Shishito, Serrano Giant, Scorpion Moruga
