Giant Red Marconi peppers have outstanding flavor. We are foodies and this pepper does not disappoint! Thick walls, very sweet with a slight smoky flavor.

I’ve been growing them every year for about 10 years, we love them!
My brother has colitis, a bowel disease that is exacerbated by hot chillis but he is addicted to Mexican food. Most of these varieties are impossible to get in Australia, but I did manage to secure an heirloom banana variety for him so it's good to know that at least a kind of banana chilli is considered excellent.
Ajivarski, a semi long wedge shaped sweet pepper from Macedonian origin. From Baker creek, this pepper is thick and sweet with a little juice. Outstanding cooked or raw. Really love this one.
Shishitos were new to me this year, I bought plants that were suppose to be poblano, but they were shishitos, we did grill them like you recommended and now they are one of our favorites, definitely on the grow list for this year, they were also amazing pickled, my family keeps begging for more.!
You made one comment that is really important- ask around and see what grows well in your area. Best garden advice ever!
The Pizza Pepper from Territorial Seeds is a must grow! Really thick walled, petite size and prolific. Complex, sweet, and soooo crunchy. So delicious that I barely got to try a ripe one as my 3 yr old stole them all before I could get to them 😂 But a great sweet snacker.

I've grown Habanada the past two seasons. Tip : make absolutely sure that the pod is fully ripe before you eat it. If you try it when it's still green, it tastes really bad. But once it has turned orange, it gets this amazingly sweet citrus-like flavor. I'll probably grow them every season now.

I tried Habanada last season and it is true that fully ripened they are amazing. For me this variety has 2 drawbacks. First, the plant is extremely attractive to aphids and second it has really tiny habitat so it needs some space not to be overshadowed by normal sized pepper plants.

Agreed! Pepperoncini is great and surprisingly quite productive. I grew 3 different varieties of Pepperoncini last year, the standard kind as well as the Orange and Yellow/Gold kinds. All were had great yields and flavor but just the right amount of low heat for that spicy kick without triggering reflux. The orange and yellow ones are beautiful grown together for a nice pop of color.

My all time fave! Can't get enough of these little pickled peppers❤
I love using poblanos in cooking, and that was my best performer I had for my first summer growing! I only get up to 8 hours of direct sun on my apartment porch so it was slow going. But I also learned, repot in BIG pots! I got the plant from a store and put it in a trough with four others, they all struggled except for the poblano I put into a 5-7gal pot. It’s overwintered and still living, so I’m looking forward to it this year!

Candy Cane Peppers also look amazing once pickled ... If you share with family and friends they really add a unique look .
I would laugh at people who ate Nadapeno's. I didn't understand why you would grow a non-spicy jalapeño. Most of the ones in the stores are mild. But last year my 4 year old granddaughter ate her first pepper EVER. And it was out of my garden. She sat and ate two Nadapenos I grew just for her and after she ate the two, she wanted more.

Very great video! Very well delivered and right to the point. Thank you for sharing Peter Piper picked a pack of pickled peppers!
Thank you for this video, and for the info about your kits on bootstrap farmer! I snagged two kits just now. This will only be my second year gardening and I want to plant in ground this year and see how that goes. I am excited to start seedlings soon!
You should check out Piment D'esplette.- also known as Gorria peppers. As mild or milder than jalapeños. But much sweeter with lots of flavor. In France, it's dried and ground up - used in place of black pepper.
I am also in CT and love growing Jimmy Nardellos! They are fantastic for roasting an pickling.
Great list! Happy to see you included Shishito, those are my favorite snacking peppers out of the garden. I have also grilled and stuffed them with goat cheese and made a fermented dipping sauce with them. I want to try some of the others you mentioned.
I love the Lesya pepper, so sweet!
Glad the Carmen worked out for you. That's my favorite but I did have some leaf spot issue where I'm at in North Carolina last year but may have been my seedlings were contaminated. We'll see this year! Can't wait to start again!

Glad to see my top 2 peppers from last year on the list. Shishitos produced INSANELY well last year despite being smaller plants (~2 ft), and the Jimmy Nardellos grew very aggressively and gave me a really nice early harvest, then ballooned up to 4-5ft and put out hundreds of peppers. Deers got into most of my hot peppers last year, so I am hoping this year I can work out some of my favorite hots.

Jimmy Nardello is definitely a great plant! Did well in my zone 7 climate (MD). I usually roasted and even pickled mine.
I've been growing Jimmy Nardellos for a few years, and last year I also had luck with Lesya peppers. But the one I'm raving about now is the Mad Hatter pepper. I had three plants that became absolutely massive last year - one was so large and laden with fruit that I had to tie the tall tomato cage I was using to support it to my fence posts with rope to keep it upright.
I highly recommend the variety Carmen. So sweet, so delicious!
I grew some Tangerine Dream peppers last year, and they were my favorite of the varieties I planted. They grow upside down, and ripen into a bright orange color. I only had one plant, but ended up with more peppers than I could use.

Nice, Tangerine Dream looks like a great snacking variety, beautiful orange color
Huge fan of Nardello. Also love Poblano which is our bell pepper substitute. Easy to grow, and is far more prolific (in the PWN zone 5b)
Loved this video thanks
I love this! We grow Spicy Banana and Sweet Banana chiles all the time! Cubanelle peppers are great for paellas. Durango pepper have a sharp flavor to. Giant Marconi are ridiculously big
I will say the Carmen is a great pepper! I am in North TX and the drought left me with no peppers all summer. when the drought broke in Oct. all my carmen plants put on fruit and ripened them before the end of our season.
I like the Ajvarski pepper from Baker Creek. It is similar to the Carmen (which I've never tried) but it's an heirloom. I like to save seeds.
My favorites sweet peppers are Cornito Giallo hybrid (yellow when mature), Blot Pepper (Baker Creek), and Lunch box pepper. Was still harvesting these in November in Georgia this year!
I'm a fan of all kinds of peppers. Thanks for sharing
I highly recommend trying Australian Broome Chilli if you can get a hold of some seeds. It's a great chilli for snacking on. Awesome video, thanks for sharing your favorites with us 👍
I grew Etiuda bell peppers last year and holy cow, I think it may be the sweetest pepper I've ever eaten. They're a bright tangerine orange, huge and blocky, perfect for stuffing, though I hardly had any for that, because I just wanted to eat them all sliced up raw. I tried Lesya last year and found it to be a bit bland. I was expecting more flavor, but could have just been a fluke. Giant Marconi was also a big hit, and great for stuffing. I just wish I'd gotten more of them! What I did get were super tasty though.

Etiuda peppers are amazing! I’m in Alaska so it’s too cold even in the summer to grow them outside. I grow them indoors hydroponically all winter long in an AeroGarden Bounty. So delicious!
Eros and Cupid are great mini snacking red and orange bell peppers, i also like the lunch box mix of snacking mini peppers that come in red yellow and orange (i think i got both from Johnny seeds.) Grew all of them in PA last year and they were extremely prolific and great healthy plants didnt even get any sunscalded fruits.
I had really wonderful production last year from Mad Hatter Hybrids. Some sources online say it has a slight heat (
03:33 My absolute favorite for non spicy peppers. I eat them like apples... Every time I try to cook with those, I can't help but to take a bite, and end up eating the whole thing, leaving none to put into my dish 😂🌶
Great channel, keep it up. We plan on growing several peppers this year.
Jimmy Nardello is a perennial favorite of mine. They even produce heavily during 100F NTX summers when other plants are experiencing a drop off
I love Etiuda bells from Baker Creek. I grow them indoors hydroponically all year long in an AeroGarden. I’m in Alaska and it’s not warm enough in my area to grow them outside even in the summer. Very fruity and sweetly delicious. Heirloom so save the seeds and grow more!
Escimillo, chocolate beauty, purple beauty, oda and gypsy. Excellent choices for your list Mr pepper geek 😊
Nice video and a nice list. I agree with what you said about the Habanada about that there's something missing (and also what someone else said in the comments that they need to fully ripen to taste good). I also agree with the statement about Jalapeño having an awesome taste. I would love to try a Shishito at some point. Also, what variety was growing in the yellow pot? It looked so beautiful 😃
Thank you for your plant saving video. My 3yo lunchbox pepper is hanging out waiting for spring again. I love growing Aji Chachuca & Aji Dulce because of their upright/bushy growth habit. I combine them with Lemon Drops to make Aji sauce at a heat that my family can stand.

I love the Ajis! Most are too hot for me, unfortunately, but I love your idea of mixing with Aji Dulces in a sauce. I've haven't been successful at growing the Dulces, yet (2 tries and counting).
Yolo hope everyone is doing great
My favorite from last year was the "Escamillo" from Johnny's. Large, very sweet, and very few seeds. The most disease resistant pepper I have ever grown is the Giant Sweet Devil's Horn from Heritage Seed Market. It was not affected from any of the pests or weather issues we had here in Eastern CT (I'm about 15 miles east of you).
My peppers got off to a late start last year, but I still had a very good pepper harvest, harvesting right up to frost. The peppers that did the best for me were the Corona di Toro, Big Red (MI Gardener), Hungarian Yellow Wax, Lipstick, and Lesya.With the exception of the Hungarian Yellow Wax, all of my peppers were supported with a single bamboo steak. However, the Corona di Toro grew very tall-over six feet tall. They were my best producer, producing several peppers large enough to stuff. The Big Red grew to be as its name implies, a large bell pepper that is perfect for stuffing.
I'm currently growing pimiento blanco del pais (Puerto Rico), aji sabrosito and shishito peppers, as far as non spicy ones. This week I'll ve transplanting aji dulce of the Carnaval variety.
I tried Jimmy Nardello's in NE Alabama for the first time last year. Oh. My. Prolific and so, SO tasty when fried in olive oil and garlic. Makes a nice addition to pasta. They freeze well, too.
I really like your suggestions for non-spicey peppers. As a small home gardener I have a hard time buying all the seeds for recommended veggies since I only need 1 or 2 plants of most varieties. Usually I plant more than I can use and it just causes me more work for nothing. Have you ever thought about selling multiple seed varieties in a single package with just a few seeds of each variety? The seeds you talked about in this video would make a perfect package. You could even charge a premium for the repackaging labor. Where I would pay $2-$4 for a paket of seeds I'd happily pay double that for a small variety.
I love Carmens. They were very cold tolerant for me in zone 7b!
Jimmy Nardellos live up to the hype - highly recommend!
Per your recommendation I now have ten Jimmy Nardello peppers in 5 gallon grow bags outside doing really well and with peppers forming (pinched many flowers early on). I'm in NH so as usual started them way too early mid February. I potted them up a lot and babied them but next year late March minimum is when I'll plant seeds. I'm so excited for Jimmy Nardello peppers as I hear nothing but rave reviews. Already they're about 18" tall and loaded with flowers. By Fall they should be trees! I'll make paprika / smoked paprika from some but looking forward to roasted and olive oil marinated strips for sausages and sandwiches. Thanks for the recommendation, I never grew them before but already they're my favorite. 👍🏻
Thank you; this is helpful.
I love the Carmen's probably my favorite sweet peppers. I'm growing some Italian Red peppers this year along with the Carmen's to see if there is much difference.
I like the Thunderbolt and Big Daddy sweet peppers as well.
I grew Cubanelles for the first time last year. They're very similar in flavor to a bell pepper, but shaped like a wider banana pepper and have a much higher yield than the bells I've tried before. I'm not even bothering to try bells this year, just going with cubannells.
I grew Jimmy nardello last year and I agree. Hands down favor. Pepper. Like a sweet thin walled bell pepper.
My 2 favorite non spicy are sweet sunset banana pepper, and a hybrid bell pepper called early prolific(3 lobbed 55 day to harvest). For me up in Canada with short season these do best with massive harvests.

Thanks for all of your great content here and on Geeky greenhouse. I'm growing the Majestic red bell pepper for the first time and noticed you had a cage around yours. I just have a pretty sturdy stake in mine. Should I get a cage instead?
Last season I tried growing Ajvarski peppers and loved them! The flavor is amazing and the plants were strong & productive. I saw some Italian peppers at a farm stand that looked similar, so I bought them to try. They were bland. I've never had good luck with bell peppers (they were always small and flavorless, even when mature) and I like more flavor than the green bells provide, anyway. This is why I have added Ajvarski to my permanent rotation.

I tried growing Serrano peppers but sadly it stopped growing very early into the season and died around fall. I'm not really sure what happened to be honest. As for my Shishito that one also started dying around that time and I often had very dwarf sized pods the whole season. That being said, it was actually kind of a surprise to see how strong my Cubanelle was. It just seemed to keep growing and never stop even through some very cold days. In the end I was actually able to overwinter it too. Chopped up and everything with no leaves, it's still as green as ever and I'm excited to finally have some again hopefully soon. This time with new friends and my new found joy for growing plants. Currently I have an Aji Fantasy and Sugar Rush Peach that I grew by seed indoors, and they're all looking great! Definitely looking forward to seeing how those turn out. But yes I think you're right about Cubanelle peppers being underappreciated to the extent deserved!

My most used pepper is the Cajun bell, bell pepper. I use them in everything.
Four peppers that I grow along the side of my house in three gallon buckets (available from Menards) that I highly recommend are Just Sweet, Chablis, Gypsy and Hungarian Cheese (available from Seeds 'N Such).
I love Carmen peppers but as the only pepper eater in my family they end up being wasted. Johnnys also sells Cornito Rosso pepper which I believe essentially is a smaller fruiting “Carmen” pepper. In my opinion it has Same great yields but better for a 1or 2 person pepper household. I’ve grown them both in the Canadian prairies in large pots and always have great luck, huge yields and awesome taste. Thanks for this video!
My favorite bull horn pepper is the Corno de Toro, every year I can hardly wait to put one on the grill. I do banana and Cal wonder, yellow and red. My shishito were almost cayenne hot, not sure I will grow this year. If I ever have a question about peppers I search your channel. Stay Well!!!!
I got some Tam Jalapenos to try this year in my container garden. I don't care for spicy heat but like the flavor. These are supposed to be free of heat.
The older I get, the less heat I can handle. Plus, my friends do not like hot food. So I've switched to mainly sweet peppers. Mad Hatters, sweet banana & Candy Canes are great for sandwiches or cut up into various dishes. Jimmy Nardello & really any sweet pepper is great fried with eggs for a meat free breakfast. I just couldn't get into Shishito last year, so it figures that's the plant that went berserk growing way too many peppers. Always plant in big pots - the bigger the better. I am trying to scale back on the number of varieties I grow - let's see how that goes this year. Love your videos.
Informative as always, and again you give me another type that I have to order seeds for.... But all good having a veggie hobby I can eat the evidence.😉
I am growing several non/very low spicy peppers this year. King of the North (a bell type), Matan, Paprik, Pepperonchini (these last 2 are about 500 on the Scoville scale), Bulls Horn, Witchstick (a very cool 8 to 10 inch pepper that curls) and finally a Aji De Sazonar that is very mild. My problem with growing peppers, though, is that my hottest months on the year (June, July and August) have average nighttime lows of 55F. Been working on ways to protect my babies (pots by the house, a small greenhouse and low tunnels). Hopefully this will be my year. The only saving grace is a 200+ long growing season.

Corbachi , pepperoncinni, and shishitos are great but they’re too thin walled for me. Lesya would be good if it produced more. They’re super sweet and super cute but not worth the space if you have a smaller garden.
Shishito are my favorite pepper. We grill them, add a dash of salt and a splash of lemon juice and wait to see who gets the hot one!
