Peppers

@Bullfrog
When do you usually harvest these alepos?

Traditionally they're left until they're red then dried and ground as seasoning. If I don't start them in February I don't get many that turn red, like this year, maybe a dozen turned I used some green but a bunch got froze out. I still have a big string of dried ones. Chopped up fine it makes great pizza topping in place of the red pepper flakes. Used a couple green in my tacos tonight, still a few in the fridge.

I thought they were decent green, tastes like a green pepper. I like peppers green and red. I'd advise you to try them both ways and see which you like better.

That plant is looking really nice, good job. The biggest one on there is looking like it's close to it's max size but it's hard to really tell from a photo. It's getting the right shape, kinda indented and slightly twisted. They're good sized peppers, 3 inches or so. Seems like they throw a lot of peppers too. Not super hot, brings it's heat right up front. Some heat did linger on the lips from a bite of raw pepper.

When you try one let me know what you think of them.
 
I'm on their site now putting an order together thanks to you posting this. I always appreciate trying a seed vendor I haven't used before. Huge selection with lots of reviews. No more burpee from meiher lmao.

We are in to sweet peppers for frying and they have quite a few. Thanks for sharing
 
About to try my hand at some pepper growing. Never done it before.View attachment 240894
Hell yeah! I sowed some yesterday. Some California Wonder, Pueblo, Pueblo Landrace and Aji Rojo. Growing more than last summer, ran out of hot sauce already. Loved the Pueblo pepper sauce I made but it wasn't hot enough so I'm going to add some Aji Rojo's to the ferment to make it a hot sauce.

Peppers are super easy. You'll do awesome. What variety you growing?
