| Depends on the heat you like. Annuums are about the easiest in general,then frutescens. Frutescens are usually great producers of smaller pods that have a quick short burst of intense heat. Baccatums can be big or pot sized plants that put out a lot of med. to hot ,very late ripening pods. |

| Jalapeno is a great pepper to start with. Many types with variating heat and like smoke said very easy to grow. |
|
| I have found orange habs to be easy to grow...They are on the upper end of the heat spectrum. not super hot, but hot. |

| When should I try to plant jalapenos or orange habs in north ga? |
|
| You could plant out right after the last freeze. I think that would be mid march or early April in your parts. You can purchase these from home depot if you don't want to start from seed. Jamie |

| Yes, Romy6 is correct. I start mine indoors about 3-4 months before I can plant them outside as I have a much shorter growing season than GA. And you can fine Jalopenos and Orange Habs at most garden centers so that makes it real easy. That is what I did my first year. I grew a Hab and a Cayenne from starters from Home Depot. I would try starting some seeds indoors a month or so before last freeze. If they don't make it, you can always head to Home Depot for starters. Growing from seeds feels a bit more gratifying in my opinion. Good luck, Bruce |
