Hot Peppers Anyone?

[Steven J.]

Do any of you grow hot peppers?

I have always been a fan of spicy food, but I have never grown any peppers until this season. I am new and don't know what I like, so I tried a few that were recommended.

What are your favorites and why?

Here are the ones I am most excited about this season. They are just starting to grow for me.

Aji Lemon Drop
Aji Charapita Peach
KS Lemon Starburst (for pain )

Scotch Bonnets seeds are on their way.

I was excited to have Aji Amarillo seeds, but none of them germinated for me. Bummer. I guess it hasn't been hot enough.

Where did you get your Aji seeds. True C. Baccatum are hard to find. The place I got them no longer sells them.

I grew Sugar Rush Peach. It was very productive and way hotter than I enjoy; possibly because I grew in hydroponics

My current favorite baccatums are Aji Franco, sweet but hot, and achard, which is sweet but milder.

I have heard of that one. It looks really beautiful. What was the flavor like?

I got my seeds from Etsy. I just looked for some sellers with good reviews. As long as they are similar to the pepper, I am cool with that.
