| Hey All! It's coming close to planning for growing, especially if you are going to start from seed! Are you guys excited? I sure am! This year, I'm trying my hand at overwinter-ing: Big Jims, Poblanos, and Tabasco plants. We'll see if I was successful. I'm scared that the Maryland winter got too cold for them and even though I have a small green house, it's very basic. I'm planning on growing: Pepperoncini, Pasilla, Jalapeno, and Italian Marconi Golden or sweet cherry blend (or both) So, if all goes well I should have: Jessica |
Follow-Up Postings:

| I did two kinds of Pepperoncini last year (Greek and Italian). Pickled a bunch and dried the rest. Makes a wonderful spice for chili. Your list sounds great. I am going to try Hungarian Paprika this year. |
|
| I'll be sowing my pepper seeds next week. Golden Marconi was a winner for me last year and I'll be growing it every year now. I think it's the best for stuffed peppers. Also grew the Purple Marconi and it was just as productive but smaller in size. Has ornamental value I guess but we'll skip it this year. I grow more and more peppers each year and less and less tomatoes. I like that each pepper plant gives me a late spring/early summer crop and then great production again in the fall right up to frost. |
|
| You have a good selection , on the mild side. I am growing some of them too. Mine are already growing under light. Pepperoncini, Hungarian hot wax, Gypsy, Cubanelle, Shishito, Fresno, Thai, Manzano, Jalapeno, Habanero, Chilaca, ..++ NO bells for me. Never had a luck with them, plus I can buy them real cheap from Asian market. |
|
| This year will have jalapeno, cayenne, Aji Pineapple, Aji omnicolor, and Beaver Dam. The last two are the new ones I'm trying out. Oh, wait and I think I have Jimmy Nardello to try also. That one's not hot, we'll see if it activates the same reaction as bell peppers do. If so, those will all head to the restaurant. |

| The book 'Northeast Fruit & Vegetable Gardening' recommends 'Beaver Dam' too. Where did you find seed for that? |
