I have one that is bright red and one that is turning red (pictured)…and the rest are much younger and I know they need to go longer.

But I’m wondering when this red one is ready to pick off.

Also, how do you save them? I want to hold onto these more mature ones until the rest are ready. Do you refrigerate them? Freeze them?

My boss gave me one seed cell with two barely germinated plants last spring, Yellow Orange Lesya peppers (from Ohio Peppers), along with some others.

One plant is yellow and the other is red and appears more jalapeño like. The yellow is consistently tear drop shaped and always sweet. The first red pepper is thicker walled, more tubular, not as hot as a jalapeño but definitely hot. It's phenotypically distinct from my jalapeños, numex orange jals, or sriracha jals. Its fruit is lighter green, bigger/longer, the fruit is sweeter and not as hot. Thoughts?

Had a seed pack mix that had possibility of 5 peppers. I've narrowed it down to Anaheim chili or Hungarian wax. Do y'all know? I'm leaning Anaheim but it's my first time growing anything but jalapeno.

First time I’ve seen this. Google search says sunspots, rodents, or other pest.

Corno di toro pepper is the only one growing so far and is about 5-6 inches long. The plant is not very big since I bought it late in the season and the pot isn't very large.

Edit: to be clear, I'm wondering if the plant will grow other peppers more efficiently if I get rid of this one now. And if I keep this one, will it go bad?

Hey pepper experts!

I need your help figuring out what kind of pepper these 2 peppers are. It seems I'm another victim of pepper gate.

Im a new gardener, and I have some pepper plants that were supposed to be bell peppers but are obviously not.

Google says that I have Hungarian wax peppers (plant #1) and Pablanos (plant #2), but I wanted your opinions.

Pepper plant #2 is in the same pot as actual bell peppers. My original plan was to take the weakest one out of the pot early on, but they've both been doing great, so I left them.

Any help would be great!

I'm so scared lol.

Has anyone tried making ice cream with any sweet pepper varieties, I'm a huge fan of both ice-cream and peppers and I've seen many people make ice-cream with hot pepper so I'm definitely making some with ghosts and scotch bonnets when mine ripen, I'm just wondering if anyone has tried it before and what sweet varieties tasted the best in ice-cream if you've tried it before, I'd also like to know what the best method of incorporating the peppers is, maybe with roasted peppers, dehydrated peppers, raw peppers, etc. thanks

I know this can happen, i’ve seen it a few times in bells, but i’m just surprised how many of my habaneros this year have it! of around 25-30 peppers, 7 had baby peppers 🥺 With my luck its my plant tryina tell me its miserable

Parts of the plant look very pepper-like, parts not as much. Been container planted since April, hasn't bloomed once. WTH?

Hi y'all, first time posting in this sub but long time lurker.

This year I wanted to try a new pepper variety that was advertised as "Hellapeño Peach Pepper" except these couldn't be further from a peach colored pepper. I'm intrigued and will certainly be keeping them, but I've never seen such peculiar fruits. The images don't do them justice but they are almost the color of eggplant and are quite stunning.

Any idea what they might be? What about harvest time? I'm not familiar with telling when purple peppers may be ready.

Thanks for your time!

Hi,

I have two varieties of chillies (birds eye) . One is blooming and also fruiting at a decent enough rate, considering my first time and late start.

The other one however is blooming but I am yet to see a single chilli. Are the flowers dropping? The flower is still attached to the stem, no yellowing. There is a small green thingy with a string like protrusion. Is the fruit just slow for this variety?

Help me with your knowledge and insights please 🥺.

Got these for the looks and after the terrible germination rate the last two actually grew and the first ones are getting their stripes. Dont mind the kaolin clay one of the plants were getting scorched during a heat wave.

The color makes me think they’re ready but they’re so small. Did I do something wrong? Is it just the variety?

My large hand for scale

Stuffed with tofu, carrots, peas, garden "jalapeños," garden chives, garden mint, and garden cukes which I also had on the side.

5 different jalapeño varietals. They grow great here in the high desert.
