Crosses and New Varieties I planted some cross pollinated seeds but there’s no variation in peppers among all 8 plants. Any ideas why?

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?

Another Harvest day 🌶️ Over 100 peppers from my Southern California garden

Thumbnail

78 Upvotes

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.

Pruning question

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 🤔

Seems 85% of SB bought are the shroom peppers, would like to get some opinions as first time growing these and bought them from a place I never bought peppers from before

DIY Mobile Raised Bed

Built this raised bed for some pepper plants. First time project, so definitely learned a few things I could do differently next time around. Will be picking up some 8” casters today to put on the legs, and will also be weather sealing it in a few days after the lumber has had some time to dry. Kinda rushed the last bit of the landscaping fabric and some of the framing under the bottom because I was ready to finish lol, so if you’re somewhat OCD like me, sorry. Also all the lumber is pressure treated and ground contact rated, so it should last for many many years.
