    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.

    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.

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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

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.

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 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.

    @@davidkottman3440 Out of the three first pepper plants I had the Cubanelle was by far my best. 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! They don't seem to be talked about enough but yet I think they will be some of my favorites for a long time. 😊

    I have grown hot to many hot peppers few year (still have some in frezer and in jars, dryed etc) so last year i planted not hot ones and my favorite were Lombardo Peppers and Hamik Sweet Peppers. I dint want to grow one pepper whole summer and these had ton of smaller ones so I got few from every plant weekly. Im zone 6 so that's a win.

    Love your videos and have ordered from you with good results. Shishitos - I have 20 plants this year. We smoke, then grill these with oil and salt. OMG. At foodie restaurants they cost a fortune which is absurd considering the incredible production per plant. Habanado and Jalenado, Corno di Toro (again we smoked) and finally the unbelievable Ashe County Pimento.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    I love Nardellos. Hands down my favorite sweet variety. I agree with a lot of people in the comments about Ajivarski (they’re great). 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.
