Yesterday I got all the peppers planted. There are 18 plants in total that I started Feb 25th. They were started two per cell and then later potted up to one per cell in these larger cell packs. This year I tried to pot up less and into smaller containers and it worked out well. Here are the varieties I am growing:
The seed for this group was shared by
Granny. There are three Golden California Wonder and three Quadrato Rosso D'Asti. Both are sweet peppers.
Here we have six Big Chile II peppers which are an
Anaheim type pepper. Heat with them is hit & miss and is quite mild when heat is present. I really liked them last year, good for green chili sauce & salsa.
The last group is a mix of three varieties. Two Ancho, two Pasilla Bajio and two Early Jalapeno. All hot peppers that are on the mild side.

Your pepper plants look really good sized and you have a nice selection of varieties too. Isn't it fun to grow varieties from seeds given to you by other blogger friends? I dd a spring video garden tour last weekend, and I found myself mentioning you and your blogsite alot because peppered throughout the garden beds are various items you sent me the seed for! Annie's Granny had some mighty fine peppers last year so the seed she provided you is likely to be a winner.
ReplyDeleteYour peppers look yummy! Mine are only half that size. Note to self, start them earlier next year! Love the variety!!
ReplyDeleteWe're trying peppers in pots this year. Since the pepper plant is actually a shrub our plan is to move them into the greenhouse when it starts to get cold and see if we can keep them alive through winter.
ReplyDeleteI love peppers! We're doing 13 plants this year and I still don't think it's enough! LOL
Mine will finally get to go out soon. They're spending their second night outside on the porch tonight. If the winds stay calm (or really, not gale-force) for a couple days, out they go!
ReplyDeleteNice selection of peppers! In my experience the heat in Anaheim peppers is dependent on drought and sunshine. So if you've got a good amount of cloudy days and rain they'll be mild. At least in my garden my peppers are much hotter when the weather is very sunny and dry.
ReplyDeletethose peppers look nice and healthy. I must confess that I find their growing season much too long, and I don't grow them now. Good luck with yours.
ReplyDeleteNice color on the peppers! Mine are growing pretty tall, but they keep setting fruit and loosing it.
ReplyDeleteYour peppers look really good. Mine looked great when I planted them outside. Then they got a bit stressed from all of the crazy weather. They look much better now though.
ReplyDeleteYour pepper plants are looking healthy and happy. I've grown the Quadrato D'Asti peppers before and they are one of the best sweet bells I've ever grown, very productive and they taste great.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you will have a great harvest! Good luck with your peppers!
ReplyDeleteDan - you must REALLY like peppers!
ReplyDeleteYou can never have too many peppers!
ReplyDeleteYou have a nice mix here. I have no idea what to expect when it comes to peppers. I'm wondering if i should place them under some row cover for added heat.
ReplyDeleteAh, it's pepper planting time, must be June ! :) Plants are looking excellent. Hope you get bumper crops !
ReplyDeleteI love peppers! They look fabulous.... We have had so much rain this past couple of weeks and Saturday is supposed to clear off....so I'm hoping to get mine in the ground too. What are your night time temps at?
