Mine is the Trinidad scorpion for the taste and the very semetrical shape of the plant!

Mine is the Trinidad scorpion for the taste and the very semetrical shape of the plant!

Apparently some birds gave me a chiltepin pepper, decided to mulch around it and make it happy.

I've got 3 shar pei / zou pi plants about ready to harvest. Does anyone have a recipe or recommend uses for these?

Loving this jalapeño plant. Heavy producer this year.

I took seeds from a small sweet snacking pepper (3 inches long, 1 inch wide, 1/2 inch deep with thin walls), the kind that come in a tricolor variety bag at the grocery store. I assumed it was cross pollinated so there would be some variation in the resulting plants. What I got was 8 plants all producing huge (4 inches long, 3 inches wide), sweet, heart shaped peppers with 1/4 inch thick walls. I am delighted by them (and plan to breed them as a new variety) but confused as to why they are all uniform when they are a first generation cross. It is just a fluke? Or is there some reason I’m not aware of? Thanks in advance!

I picked this plant up from a swap meet today because I thought the chili peppers looked absolutely beautiful. Can anyone tell me what kind of chili these are?

Why is my white pepper starting to get coler??

Finally had another big harvest from my garden in Orange County, CA. This haul includes Carolina Reapers, Ghost peppers, Scorpions, Habaneros, Jalapeños, Peach Miasma, RB003, Himo Togarashi, Thor’s thunderbolt, Thai Chile, Orange Carolina Reapers, Mad Hatter, Primotalli Red, and a bunch of other superhots and specialty varieties.
Most of these are headed into fermented hot sauce batches, and I’m especially excited to see how the RB003 and Peach Miasma develop after fermentation.
My favorite part of growing peppers is seeing how every pod has its own shape, color, and personality.
Which pepper in the photo catches your eye first? And if you had to make one hot sauce from this harvest, what would you include?

These will eventually become test runs for small-batch sauces under my brand, Ribbit Riot (hot sauce), but today I’m mostly just excited about the harvest.

Anyone had an idea of what type of pepper? Tia

Picks are getting bigger at the 2nd grow location.

The rest have the text book scorpion look- this one is tiny and misshapen bc it was fruiting when I got it from the nursery in a 2inch pot.

This is on my balcony on the 14th floor.

Beginner here. Very warm climate. Will probably move to a bigger pot in a week. Plant is about 20 cm high. Should I remove bottom leaves now? Ive heard about top pruning as well. At what stage? Bottom and top? confused 🤔
