RE: 2010 season

Some of you all have some great varieties there. Where are the 7-pot/7-pod variants coming from? They sound interesting.

Mark


 o
RE: 2010 season

Like jrslick will be waiting until February. Probably the last week in February to plant my seed. I started February 1st last year for my Chinense and many of them were 12-18 inches tall by March 1st. It was hard to keep then under the lights I have.

I already have my seeds for next season thanks to several members here and also my order from TGSC which came yesterday.

Scotch Bonnet Orange, Caribbean Red, Habanero Golden, Orange Manzano, Golden Cayenne, California Chili, Chimayo, Crunch Sweet Orange, Sweet Cayenne, Sweet Banana, Sweet Pickle, Tam Jalapeno, Senorita Hybrid Jalapeno, Trinidad Perfume, Habanero Arbol and possibly 7-pot.

I also grow several bell pepper plants.

I really don't have room for all of these. I'm over my limit by about 3 plants. The Chimayo and 7-pot are on the bubble.


 o
RE: 2010 season

Smokemaster, that is quite the collection, no wonder I got so many of your seed packs in the exchange. I have to admit, I'm not one for seed mixes, but I kept thinking there might be something good in there. I've already started a couple of the mystery pepper plants, now I'm gonna have to plant the whole packet! LOL

Glad I didnt thow them in the trash(I almost did!)


 o
RE: 2010 season

I'm up to about 1500 varieties and strains of non bell peppers.Working on 400-500 more,I hope this season.Trades from Brazil,Mexico,Peru might bring something interesting.
Added 30 or so varieties last week.
As long as the seeds in the mystery pack were mixed well enough there is a chance of getting something good or rare(to some extent).
I trade a lot of seeds each year and always find spilled seeds all over the place,
They go into my mystery pack.
I know for a fact I dropped some good stuff in there on purpose because I was too lazy to put it in the collection.
I've also traded for 3-5 seeds of something rare and a seed went flying.When I looked for it I found 3 or 4 seeds on the floor.All had to go in the mystery bag...

As far as 7 pot variations,there are a ton out there.
LOTS.
I get most of my seeds from trades these days.

I've already baught most of the seeds the U.S. venders sell.

For anyone interested,Peppermania has just updated the site.
Beth has a superhot deal that I don't think will last long-she'll run out of seeds for it I think.

Scorpions,7 pot,red savina,Bhut Jolokia,yellow scorpion,chocolate 7 pot.

Great collection for defrosting the ice on your windshield next winter.Just hang a 7 pot from the rear view mirror.

I'm waiting for Rainbow Chile seeds to update now.

Tomato growers has pretty much the same as last year,got the cataloge Sat.

Redwood city seeds has their usual collection and a pretty ok price for Bhut seeds.Larger packs of seeds than most.

Tradewinds I don't think has updated since end of last season.Nice selection of sweets and hot stuff.

I've already got 2-3 inch sprouts under lights and 100-150(maybe more) plants outside.Some still with pods and buds.

Did over 400 varieties last year.
Not again this year.
Only a couple hundred (ya right,seems I say that every year) including the Manzanos and Rocotos out there now(with buds and pods).

No such thing as too many hot peppers.


 o
RE: 2010 season

Groovy, I'll let you take a wild guess who those 7 pod strains may have come from? Wink wink. lol.

Chris


 o
RE: 2010 season

I didn't say anything because I thaught it might fill up your mailbox with requests for SASBE's.

Ya Chris,every time I think I found something new you've already grown it last year.... :)

Good thing I have Villarta so close by or I'd have nothing to trade you with.

Now when those Red Rocoto seeds from Peru start putting out those giant pods we won't know how to act.2 kilo pods...
That'll just be the usual ones,not the bigger ones that the plants only grow a couple of.


 o
RE: 2010 season

Hey, Chili lovers!
Right now, I'm over-wintering two Thai chilis, a Hungarian hot wax, and a pepperoncini. Sometime around the middle of February, I'll be starting poblano, tobasco, bhut jolokia, chocolate habañero, and black pearl seeds...if the black pearl seed ever arrives, that is....

I still need to create a planting diagram for the garden.

Josh


 o
RE: 2010 season

This is on my 2010 list. Quite a bit came from
Heather's exchange:

Najluti..Feferoni..Chervena Chushka..Kurtouska Kapija
New Mexico Improved..Chinese Five Color..Peter Pepper
Red Belgium..Lemon Drop..Puya..Chili De Arbol..Peruvian
Orange..Big It Locoto..Peppadew..Rezha..Chocolate Hab
Aji Hab..Orange Hab..Tam Jalapeno..Naga Jolokia..
7 Pod..White Hab..Goathorn..Bhut's..Serrano..Tollies
Sweet..Marconi Golden..Antohi Romanian..Cubanelle
Purple Beauty..Nu Mex Big Jim..Thai Hot..Red Marconi..

There' more, tired of typing.


 o
RE: 2010 season

Chris, I can't believe how far 'behind the times' I am when it comes to new strains and variants. I remember how excited I was when the Trinidad Scorpion and Mustard Habanero were 'new technology'. I've buried my head in my beloved bonnets and I look up and it's old-school. They still taste darn good any way you cut them.


 o
RE: 2010 season

Yeah Groovy1, the last two years have created a true whirlwind of new stuff I never imagined existed. it's pretty amazing really considering all the years that went by with so little compared to these rarities.

Do they all taste better than Scotch Bonnets? NO in my opinion. Put the super hots in front of me and a plate of TFM Scotch Bonnets and I'll take the latter anytime.

Smokemaster, and I'm one year behind whatever John F usually finds. He's always on top of his game. :)


 o
RE: 2010 season

Well at least everything trickles down so we never get bored with the same old stuff.

So do you think John will find the first Homer Simpsons insanity pepper and first Peru soccer ball rocoto?

I'd like to find the first Super Hot Mexican Forklift Manzano...in any color. LOL


 o
RE: 2010 season

Low tech here. Just picked some Cayennes from my kitchen window for tonights lentil soup. Very low on Jalapenos so those are in the garden for certain. Low on Red Savina peppers and need to find similar. Serrenos seems to really produce for me so a plant or two of those. Pretty cold up here in Michigan so a short grow season outdoors. Indoor cayenne has been a lifeline.

Anything else that looks interesting at planting time. Lots of veggies and herbs but that is the list for peppers so far.


 o
RE: 2010 season

I sowwed some of my seeds last weekend (saturday Dec 26) in a Park Seeds Bio Dome. Today, new years eve, I noticed I have 2 Bhut's that are ready to pop up, I can see they are curled over, ready to stand up. I am amazed that this system has germinated seeds in less than a week!

I will post pics when they are standing. I tried to get a pic, but they are hard to see, since they are just about to break the surface. I am going to plant more probably mid next week, along with my tomatoes.

I have:
20 Bhut Jolokia
5 Habanero
5 Jalapeno
5 Cayenne Slim

RE: 2010 season

I promised myself at the end of last season that I was going to limit myself to 20 varieties max next season. Here’s my 2010 "hot and not" pepper list after aggressive pruning… I guess I lied to myself.

RE: 2010 season

btw, responding to the original post, the Holland Hot is a fantastic pepper - my favorite all-around pepper, in fact. Exceedingly difficult to find seeds, it was available last year at tradewindsfruit but not this year. If you like asian foods, cayenne type peppers, etc., you are going to absolutely love the Holland Reds.

RE: 2010 season

Well, this will be my first year with a garden again since 2006, so I'm excited.

I finally gave up on the old pepper seeds I was giving a chance to germinate. I didn't have high hopes for them, but I tried. The youngest of the lot did that thing where they sort of halfway germinate and then stop and die. It's a shame because I had some interesting ones, including some from John Fielder, and it looks like he isn't around anymore. I got them before I found out I'd have to be moving into an apartment for a while.

I tried not to get too many new pepper seeds this year just in case I managed to get the old ones back to life, but looks like that's not happening.

Anyway... starting afresh with some new seeds from 2009, none of which I've grown before, I'm going to plant:

Crunch Sweet Orange
Meek and Mild Poblano
Fish
De Arbol

Starting small, just one variety per "niche": one thick walled sweet pepper, one thin walled chile for powder, one medium-hot thick walled pepper for pickling/nachos/salsa etc., and one small very hot pepper for hot powder/hot sauce/Asian dishes. That should cover most of my culinary bases, pepper-wise.

At least, that's the idea. These are all new ones to me. I'm growing CSO instead of a bell pepper, and I use bell peppers a lot. I hope M&M isn't TOO mild, but I got it in a trade so I'll give it a chance and try using it like anchos/poblanos (mostly to make up the bulk of my chili powder, and the occassional rellenos or enchilada sauce). Sadly, I had ancho and pasilla seeds among the ones that didn't make it. Those I'm more familiar with.

Fish seems to most closely resemble a jalapeno or serrano, so I hope it subs well for those, especially since I still haven't been able to track down any of those "traditional fish recipes" it was used in, so I don't know what else to do with it. Again, I did have jalapeno seeds, but they didn't make it either.

The pepper I'm most familiar with here is De Arbol, since I live in an area with a lot of Hispanics. Never grown it, but it's in all the grocery stores. I may even have some dried ones in my cupboard, or maybe they're cayenne, they're really similar and I can't remember. Maybe de arbol is milder? Anyway, the old cayenne and Thai dragon seeds didn't make it either, *sigh*, so de arbol will have to fill that void.

Thankfully, my old tomato seeds still have life in them! Hooray for indestructible tomato seeds!

So yeah, pretty puny list, but I'm pretty much starting over this year and need to rebuild my collection.


 o
RE: 2010 season

all I have to say is "oh my goodness"!!! I read the lists above and couldn't help but think where I would put the rest of the veggies I am planting if I had that many peppers?


 o
RE: 2010 season

Ajijoe,

In the interest of trying to maintain some standard in pepper variety names, your listed Pretty in Purple is "truly" named Purple Passion.

I screwed up naming on a number of seed packets that were distributed before I could correct them. They were not sent by me but they were sent out through a trusted generous 3rd party.

Sorry, my bad.

Bill


 o
RE: 2010 season

Here is my grow list, all of which I got through trades. It's my first year growing, and I'm hoping I'm not biting of more than I can chew (who am I kidding, of course I am!) I'm planning on growing the Bhut's at work and I'm secretly hoping someone will help themselves to one .

Alma Paprika
Aji Dulce
Bhut Jolokia
Chiletepin
Chimayo
Fatali
Hawaiian
Jimmy nardello
Lemon Drop
Peperoncini
Shepherd
+ 1 other non-hot variety (TBD)


 o
RE: 2010 season

Last year I was tomato crazy, this year I'm pepper crazy. I ordered the
following extra seeds from Peppermania:
Costeno Amarillo
Chimayo
Chilhaucle Rojo
Hot Finger
Beni Highlands
Aji Dulce #2
Aji Panca
Jamaican Hot Chocolate
Cumari (smells like fruit loops is what sold me)

From Tomato Growers Supply:
Trinidad Perfume
Purple Jalapeno
Medusa
Fat 'n' Sassy Bell Pepper
Orange Sun
Gypsy
I love peppers and tomatoes. I will be learning how to make hot sauce
and powders. I will freeze, dry, and grind. Of course I have no experience
in grinding and drying, or making hot sauce, but I can learn. I don't want
to waste any of my peppers. The only thing I know how to do is pickle and
freeze them.


 o
RE: 2010 season

Hey Smoke,

I'd like to get my greedy mitts onto a few Choc Scorp seeds. You may have a few, but where else can I get some.

 o
RE: 2010 season

hey everyone, I'm a newbie, to growing, and these forums.
I've always been a fan of peppers, bells, jalepeno, habanero, etc..so I've decided to grow some this year, along with other vegs, but my list is quite basic, no exotics, and definitely no Bhut Jolokia! id be afraid to touch them bare handed haha

cayenne
jalepeno
serrano
habanero

any pointers or good seed starting ideas?
i want to go from seed to harvest, not with a store bought plant.
I'm in SE North Carolina, wilmington to be exact. Its pretty mild winters, and hot HUMID summers.

anyhow
take care


 o
RE: 2010 season

@crunchyuncle - Start the pepper seeds soon and don't overwater them. Other than that, they're really pretty straight forward to grow.

Good Luck!


 o
RE: 2010 season

Whoa...y'all are pepper nuts! ;-) I'm only growing 5 varieties this year. I may add Cayenne to the list, if I think i'll have room for it.

Hot Banana
Mucho Nacho Jalapeno
Melrose
Capsicum Baccatum
Chile de Comida (Guajillo)


 o
RE: 2010 season

Ok, maybe i'm growing a few more than 5. ;-)

Here's my final-as-any-gardening-addict-can-get list:

Chillie Chili
Hot Banana
Mucho Nacho Jalapeno
Melrose
Capsicum Baccatum (Pendulum)
Chile de Comida (Guajillo)
Chocolate Habanero
Caribbean Red Habanero
Red Thai Burapa
Tabasco

KOREAN: Maraca, Interchanga, Winner, Long Green.
JALAPENO: Purple, Jaloro, Maxi-Jala, Grande, Triunfo, Jalafuego, El Jefe, Ixtapa, Mucho Nacho, Pequis.

Each year I delete Jalapenos that were mediocre and add new varities. The Purple and Jaloro add color when pickling the Jals.


 o
RE: 2010 season

Wow. There must be some crazy huge gardens in this group. I've been doing a few hot peppers in some barrel planters and some pots I have and am this year expanding to a couple of 4' square raised beds (doing square foot garden in these)in addition to the old barrels and pots.

Doing fish pepper, jalapeno, lemon drop, chocolate hab, and tobago peppers.


 o
RE: 2010 season

Smokemaster and cmpman, between you two I'll never get ahead of you to have any new seeds to trade with you lol. I am working on planting every kind I have, need to replenish stock after last year's lousy crop. Anyway hope everyone has a great pepper summer. I really envy that year long growing season. Jackie


 o
RE: 2010 season

this year i plan on growing outdoor for the very first time.
right now i have 9 plants starting in rockwool cubes. 4 early jalapenos for my indoor hydro garden and 5 bhut jolokia for my outdoor. i will be starting all the rest of the seeds in about two weeks which will include 4 calfornia wonder, 4 cayenne, 4 tabasco and 4 scotch bonnet. im going to put them all in 3gal grow bags filled with pro-mix bx. i havent decided which nutrients/fertlizer yet but im leaning towards foxfarm grow big veg and tiger bloom.

 o
RE: 2010 season

Vikingkirkin, your list looks very similar to mine, well except for the Serrano and Cayenne, which are probably too hot for my family. I looked up that Pusztagold, and it looks very similar to the Giant Szegedi, both of which Gourmet Seed Int'l. carries.

I'm copying and pasting my list from the other thread:

Alma Paprika - this is a definite, love it!
Anaheim
Beaver Dam
Boldog Hungarian Spice
Botinecka Zuta
Cascabella
Chervena Chushka
Chinese Giant
Keystone Giant
Feherozon
Giant Szegedi
Gourmet
Healthy
Lipstick
Mariachi
Poblano
Patio Red Marconi
Red Cheese
Senorita - one of my favorites last year
Soroksari
TAM Jalapeno
Sweet Pickle
and maybe Tollie's Sweet Italian

Bonnie


 o
RE: 2010 season

I read with amazement that a fellow gardener is growing 150 varieties. That would be a pepper farm.

I will have probably about 10 varieties of sweets and hots all together.
The hot ones I am planting mostly as ornamental except for habs and jalaps to make hot sauce. Then I have sweets to eats raw, in salad, saute, grill and pickle. I have a ton of chili from last year, all dried and cured, all winter long in a shack,
that will last me for crushed pepper for years. I tried to give away as much as I could to friends, neighbors and strangers.lol
I have started some seeds inside and in cold frame. I will direct sow more later. We have a long season. everything will catch up.
