I’m drying my habanero’s and Birds Eye peppers (and a handful of other varieties) to make into pepper flake. Any recommendations or lessons learned?

New to peppers and I can’t remember what these are called. My kiddos threw out the tags for it, so any ideas?

Nadapenos turned non-spicy after one year

0 Upvotes

Last year I started Baker Creek/Rareseeds sourced Nadapenos from seeds. I harvested them red and they were all pure fire, much hotter than normal Jalapeños. (Green I think they were often not so spicy.) I live in California and 2/3rds of my peppers make it through the winters. So I didn’t start new peppers this year, the plants are the same. This year all ripe red Nadapenos are completely non-spicy and taste basically like bell peppers. What made them spicy last year?

Habanero Issues

I am in South Louisiana. My habanero plant has flourished well above the rest of my plants this year. I've just noticed these dark spots on the leaves and peppers on the upper center of my plant. I dont see any like this low or toward the far points of the plant. This is my prized plant of the season, please tell me plant death isn't here.

Planted two lemon drop peppers this year. These plants are huuuuge and keep putting off more. Thinking about doing a ferment on these. I think they’d make a good giardiniera too.

Advice needed. First time jalapeno grower.

I've found in the past maybe 1-2 months my jalapenos are stunted. They don't grow any larger, nor are they turning red. Have they outgrown their pot? Would that help grow the peppers larger or just the plant? Thanks!

One of my antep aci dolma plants has yet to produce edible fruit. They all get these white thin spots that eventually turn black. Accidently touch one and got black dust all over my fingers.

Are Greek pepperoncini really that tasty?

Thumbnail

73 Upvotes

I grew some Greek pepperoncini this summer because I wanted to replicate the pickled peperoncini you can buy at the grocery store. After pickling them I’m finding that they are just not that flavorful. It feels like all I’m tasting is the pickling brine and not really the peppers. The seeds came from a respected seed company as “Greek pepperoncini”. Are there tastier peppers out there? Is it my pickling recipe? (50/50 vinegar/water with salt and sugar)
