What is everyone growing this year?

menemen, 12 days ago (edited 12 days ago)

This year I mostly just grow from seedsof last year. I started this year’s ago. Original seed were from a spirale chilli bought in Turkey, obviously a hybrid. 4 years later they are basically just Cayenne, but tastes great. It is probably a mix of the original spirals and some other peppers i had during that time.

So, this year only 1 Tabasco and 3 Cayenne of my own brand. I have too many tomatoes and cucumbers for more than 4 peppers this year.

Got some aji parapita seeds, we’ll see how it goes since the last seeds (carolina reaper) I bought none sprouted.

Just chiltepin here. I grow them for the mockingbirds, but I enjoy crunching on them while I’m out in the garden.

That’s great that the birds like them. Maybe they’ve unknowingly planted a few!

PlantJam, 26 days ago

Oh they absolutely have. Birds can’t taste capsaicin, so it’s the plant’s “strategy” to get its seeds dispersed far and wide.

I’d love to grow gochugaru at home. 👀

There are seeds for sale online! I actually found some plants for sale at a community garden event.

Oh I don’t doubt it! It’s just hard to grow here in Sweden. I’d need a bunch of extra equipment.

Ah, gotcha! Yeah, that seems like could be difficult.

I’m growing my hot sauce collection in the fridge. Requires no water or attention.

But seriously I might do habaneros

Hot sauce is like watering your food with your peppers.
