Oh, I just remembered a couple other peppers that I am thinking about growing this year to increase the heat in my homemade salsa - Sante Fe Grande, and Fresno. Any opinions about those?

Here's my list. I left out a few that I harvested seeds from peppers growing at tourist destinations I visited last year. I have many reasons for growing these varieties. Heat, size, color, use, etc. It's going to be a challenge keeping up with these.

Wow, fncer, maybe I should have asked which ones you're NOT growing, LOL. That's quite a list! Your garden must be pretty good sized to accomodate all of those.

Thats one helluva list! your gonna be busy!
Kevin

Last year was my first time to grow peppers to eat, so I'm experminting to see what we like.
My list is a work in progress. I may add or delete a few as my space is limited.
These are the ones I want to grow based on use and taste.
We like them stuffed with cream cheese and bacon, roasted, grilled, and in egg dishes, soups and stews. DH likes them raw on sandwiches.
This year I want to try salsa and jelly and dryed for seasoning.

Any comments to improve this list is welcomed.

So far my list is at 12.

Pepperoncini *thx Greenman28*
Serrano
Habanero
Cayenne

Jalapeno

Actually i planted one of each last night in potting soil filled egg carton. I got it on top of a double four foot flourescent light above my 90 gallon aquarium. Im thinking the heat from the lamp and the tank being at around 80 degrees should offer a nice germination atmosphere.

P.S. Hey Josh, i still got the Hot Cherry seeds for ya. They been in an envelope ready to go for over a week, lol. The temps been so damn cold im afraid to ship em. Assuming that the seeds were dried thoroughly maybe cold temps wont damage em?

Very Cool.. I'm jealous of the space some of you must have.. i'm not really sure how I'll be able to grow all of these given my limited balcony space... but this is my plan for a 2011 seeding in Feb...

The last two years I've been at my new home I've just done a couple pots on the patio (2 Jalapeno, 2 Cayenne, and 2 Corno Di Toro last year), but this year I will be re-doing a section of landscaping to put a dedicated garden. Good thing too since I joined in a seed swap earlier and have a lot more varieties I plan on trying out (and more than I have space for):

Mandarin Orange Bells
Yolo Wonder Red Bells
Santa Fe Grande
Jimmy Nardellos
Dragon Claws
Hot and Sweet Cherry Peppers
Trinidad Perfume
Sweet Pickle
Aji Dulce #2
Lemon Drops
Trinidad Scorpions
Calico ornamental
Black Pearl

I've also saved the seeds of some dried peppers that came in a Wanchai Ferry dinner kit (just said dried red chilies on the box) - don't know if they're viable, but it'll be fun to try.

Bonnie -

Not sure yet of all the varieties I'm going to grow this year, but am working on it. I started my different Harbenaros this past weekend since I have a short growing seasom for them. They will go in buckets earlier than other peppers this spring and I can easily move/cover them when temps dip....... I won't start my other peppers for another month or so.

I agree with you, the heat level from peppers on the same plant can vary. If a plant gets stressed (i.e. - too little water at times) can increase heat level so that may be part of it.

I grew about 50 varieties between my house and the cabin last year. Planted in buckets and in ground.

Santa Fe Grande and Fresno were very prolific and were great in our canned salsa. Also Pizza, Mariachi, Paper Lantern, College 64, and Volcano produced quite nicely and were used in salsa. Cool Peach is a hot pepper (edging towards harbanero hot) which adds good heat and flavor in salsa too. I guess I could go on and on.

If you want to try any of the peppers I've mentioned and don't have them, drop me an email.

Sandy

I have Peppadew seeds - not on any of these lists!

PM if you'd like some seeds.

I grew them last year - first time - and was too chicken to try the fresh fruit. I used them for pickling and at Christmas, the jars were emptied in a heart beat!!

The plants ripened late, so I dug them up and have them overwintering in my basement. Not sure they'll survive, but I am hoping they do so I can get an early jump on the season!!

I will plant in ground again, eventually, and try to take cuttings.

I just organized my stash and may place orders, so I don't have a list yet...but I need to get going and start some seeds!!

Bonnie, I'm cutting back on the number of varieties this year, but so far my list includes the following. Most I'm growing for my powder or seed needs, but I'm also trying to expand my stock of superhots:

Aji Amarillo
Bhut Jolokia
Cascabel
Chimayo
Cumari
Datil
Fatalii
Habanero, Brown Congo
Habanero, Cancun
Habanero, Golden
Habanero, Red Savina
Habanero, White
Habanero, White Bullet
Hawiian
Heritage Big Jim
Jalamundo
Manzano Red
Manzano Yellow
Naga Morich
Numex, Suave Orange
Pequin
Peter, Yellow
Peter, Orange
Scotch Bonnet, Chocolate
Scoth Bonnet, Foodarama
Trinidad Scorpion

Hi Highalttransplant: If you want to try something a bit hotter than jalapeno, you might want to try Tobago Seasoning. It's not as hot as habanero or Scotch bonnet, and has a very good flavour.
Northerner

Here are what I've started so far:
I just started 6 12cell mini greenhouses:

galopagoense-97450083 , cgn22208 and 639682
pimente nyde , cumari ou passarinho , bhut giant , bhut con. , peruvian surlano , royal gold , red savina , naga morich , yellow scorpion fg ,

Depending on what is going on I'll probably plant a lot more,usually 400 or so for summer and another similar amount for a winter/spring fruiting.
Mites killed everything last year so no winter crop this season.

I plan on growing Aji lemon,bhut jolakia,nu mex heritage #6,datil,fatali,white hab,orange hab,red savina,naga jolakia pc1,jalapeno,cayenne,poblano,chinese five color,tabasco and some mystery purple peppers. I do not know how you guys keep up with so many plants. I struggle with keeping up with this small grow list. But I am a rookie. Good luck to all. May the bugs be nice to us.

Thanks, Sandy for the information about Fresno and Sante Fe Grande. I'll definitely put them on my growlist. I received about half a dozen of each in a trade, so hopefully I'll get good germination on them.

Northerner, I have seeds for the Tobago Seasoning, but I'm a little confused about its heat level. The place I got mine from listed it as mild, having very little heat. So I looked it up and the only place that listed it as medium in heat was Seed Savers Exchange. Do you know the source on your seeds?

Bonnie

Here's what I've got started:

Anaheim
Golden Cayenne
Fish
Habanero
Jalapeno
Lemon Drop
Soroksari

So far Soroksari, Anaheim, and Lemon Drop are doing great. I'm down to only two Fish plants, but those two look good (the seeds I got had really lousy germination rates). Habaneros are growing veerry sloooowlly. I have them on a heating pad, but they still might be too cold.

Mau, interesting list! Quite a few on there that I am not familiar with. Looks like I'll be doing a little research : )

Bonnie

This year I'm doing
Mucho Nacho Jalapeno, Poblano, Sweet banana, Hungarian super hots, Congo Black, Congo Trinidad, Peruvian White Habs, Serrano, Cayenne, Pepperoncini. I got all my seeds from peppemania or Peppergal. I have the c. chinense in soil as of last weekend.

This list will probably change.
Lemon drop
Cascabella
Black Pearl
Maui Purple
Thai Bird
Thai Red
Tepin
Tollies
Serano
Jalepeno Biker Billy
Fish
Big Jim
Anaheim
Wenks
Jimmy Nardello
Cayanne
I think that about does it. Alot of the smaller peppers I just pot up! Had a great 2010 pepper year, lets all have a great 2011! dd.

So far I have the following but will be adding more:

Bhut Jolokia
Giant Bhut Jolokia
Orange Habs
Chocolate Habs
Mustard Habs
Chili
Marble Peppers
Long Red Slims
Scotch Bonnet
Peter Peppers
Pumpkin Habs
Golden Habs
Hot Banana Pepper
Jalapeno
Tabasco

So far on my list:

Yellow Rocoto - had to start from seed again as my overwintering plants died...have 2 tiny sprouts right now
Jalapenos - every year
Japones - I have a bad habit of picking up those large bags of dried pods in the produce section of WM(just to look at them). There are 1/4" holes in them and darned if seeds don't always drop into my hand. We'll see if they germinate.
Ancho - more WM freebie seeds to try
Chocolate Hab - I'll try to keep them safe from deer this year(along with everything else)
Chimayo, Espelette, or Georgia Flame - haven't decided yet
Serrano - if I remember to buy seeds
Lemon Drop - getting low on dried pods

I know there are more but I haven't gotten around to sorting through my seeds.

Well, now that I've finished the Pick-A-Peck of Peppers Swap, I can focus on this year's pepper crop.

My growlist changed quite a bit since I first posted my growlist. Here is the final version, though I may possibly still add a couple more:

Aji Panca - sowed about a week ago
Aji Yellow - 2 out of 2 are up (Thanks, Ajijoe!)
Alma Paprika - all four are up, yeah!
Ancho Gigantia - 1 out of 2 up so far
Ancho San Luis - 1 out of 2 up so far
Chilhaucle Rojo - sowed about a week ago
Chimayo - 2 out of 2 are up
Choricero - sowed about a week ago
Cosa Arrugada - sowed about a week ago
College 64 - 1 out of 2 up so far
Czechoslovakian Black - one sprouted and fizzled out, resowed
Frank's - 2 out of 2 are up
Fresno - resowed
Georgia Flame - 2 out of 2 are up
Giant Szegedi - 1 out of 2 up
Jimmy Nardello - 1 out of 2 up
Joe E. Parker - 2 out of 2 are up
Kalocsai V2 - resowed, then 1 sprouted the next day from the first sowing
Lemon Drop - 2 out of 2 up (I literally had seeds in my hand to resow, and they suddenly appeared, LOL)
NuMex Espanola Imp.- sowed about a week ago
NuMex Pinata - sowed about a week ago
Peppadew - sowed about a week ago
Pimente de Padron - sowed about a week ago
Sandia - 2 out of 2 are up
Santa Fe Grande - had to resow
Serrano Tampiqueno - 1 is up, and the other is on its way

I'm pretty pleased with the germination so far, considering, I have no heat mat or light set up. That will change soon though. My husband brought home an old light fixture from work, and bought me a grow lamp to go in it. Now he just has to mount it to the table that my peppers are on, and I'll be all set : )

How's everyone else's pepper crop coming along?

Bonnie

I've got a short list this year.
Bhut Jolokia
Fatalii
Chiltepin
Tepin
Scotch Bonnett
Hot Paper Lantern (one of my faves for flavor)
NuMex Big Jim
Corno di Toro
Jalapeno

Here is my wish list:
Poblano, cubannele, bird's eye, jalapeno, Habanero
Gypsy, sweet anaheim...some bell.
I had a fantastic crop of most of the above , last year.

I'm growing:

Trinidad Perfume
Yellow Mushroom
Habanero
Cubanelle
Mammoth Jalapeno
Golden Marconi
Peter Pepper
Trinidad Scorpion

Last year was my first year growing peppers, and to my suprise did extraordinarily well. Wound up making tons of jalapeno poppers, jalapeno jelly, and chicken stuffed peppers. This year I'm hoping to make some hot sauce, definitely getting anxious.

I finally had 2 bhut jolakias sprout after a month and a half. I guess they are tough. I have 3 fatali, 2 aji lemon,1 numex heritage 4-6 , 1 datil, 1 chico 111(got in swap not to sure about it) and tons more sowed and our overwinted. Kinda of waiting to see what comes via your awesome swap before i get too crazy. Thank goodness for spring. Let the fun begin. Even though my wife is ready to kill me for my new addiction. She still loves me though( i think).

Here is my simple list this season.

Sweet:
Aconcagua(Giant)
Alma Paprika - For Paprika
Cubanelle - for Stuffing
Feher Ozon Paprika - For Stuffing
Giant Szegedi
Gicler from Urumiyeh, Iran(Heat level?)
Golden Greek
Marconi Rosso
Yellow Sweet Banana - Salads

Hot:
Habanero
Jalapeno
Kasier Piquin Hot(Found Mexico)
Manzano - Red
Manzano - Yellow
Serrano
