Peppers

I'll have to see if I've got pics but I've grown a lot. Jalapeño, Habenero, Ghost Pepper, Trinidad Scorpion Pepper, Carolina Reapers, and Giant Red Thai. I love spicy food, and growing these are usually fun. I'd love to one day grow African Bird's Eye, because those are special.

the internet is a wonderful place sometimes @Bullfrog

just spoke to Dan, the author. he gave me a few varieties of peppers and tomatos that he sells to try out. he was kinda amazed at our elevation and wished me luck and gave a few other suggestions too. we're about 3000 ft higher than him.

So cool dude. Wow, that's up there. What do you have, July and August for growing? Where I'm at it's toward the end of May that sensitive veggies can go out normally so I have full months of June-September. Last couple years all of May has been good too and half of October.

I grew some Lunchbox peppers the past couple years, they're a small sweet pepper, very tasty. They're like 45 days; fastest pepper I've ever seen. I like them green but they're seriously sweet when red, most get eaten right off the plant they're that good. If you happen to see any around, I'd give them a shot if I were you. I'm certainly curious how it'll work out for ya.

I grow peppers every year for a while now, had a lot of sweet bell and banana peppers last year, down to the last jar of bananas, put them on everything. A lot of the bell peppers went into tomato sauce that I canned. Got a nice string of Aleppo's dried too, awesome coarsly ground on anything. Just the other day I threw down some super-hot seeds I got for free a few years back. It's a mix/mystery pack from pepperjoes. There was a list once of what was in it, but I can't find it anymore, it was quite the list. I had a white ghost pepper and an orange scotch brain that I really liked come out of that pack and I see they sell them on their site now too. It'll be a surprise if anything pops now.

Loving the internet right now, shopping around for my garden and learning without leaving my home on this cold windy day where it feels like 8 degrees F outside. Burr it's cold.

Just realized I didn't save any seed from my lunchbox peppers :facepalm::cry:

yep, about 8800 ft. rule of thumb around here is outside after Memorial day. seems like every year I get tempted to go earlier and then we get another frost which ruins everything. lol.

we've had 10 inches of snow in June before.

I have a outdoor greenhouse that needs some better insulation/walls/roof. it gets really hot during the day (90 to 100s) but cools down so fast at nite. that's what the guy mentioned would be my biggest enemy was the cool night temps.

generally mid Sept is when it gets sketchy but can sometimes go another month without frost.

have decent success with tomatos some years and some years suck. peppers seem like they trail tomato production.

like you said, trial and error and just try some different varieties is the way to go.
thanks again for that link!

That doesn't sound too bad then. You should be able to figure something out eventually if you stick with it. Happy ya found what you were after.
