Shisito, Aleppo, jalepeno, serrano, bells, and pepperocini. About 45 plants. They deer loved them. 10/10 across the board, but saved the pepperocini for last. I guess I'm going to have to do something for next years defenses.

Sister's dog finally got me to put up a fence around my garden. The deer did eat a little, but her big footed hound dog did a lot more damage playing.

Red Penis Pepper. Great production on this and the yellow one. They're apparently approximate to a Serrano in heat units. The first thing that hits is the sweetness, followed by the (not too stupid) heat. Kind of envelops your entire mouth. It would make a good addition to a nice, tight Mexican type dish (;)) or a Salsa. I tried to capture as many pods as I could with my cheap cell phone.

So I'm not really clued in on how Red Habanero's usually grow, except that they take a long time. I think this particular plant that I seeded from a store bought last year isn't the best example of how a Habanero should grow. I was getting more flowers just last week so I chopped a number of branches for the 3rd time this summer and topped the ones with peppers already going. I'm happier twith the size of them this year compared to last though. Probably because I started them indoors in March. Seems really puny though.

Anybody have a Red Habanero they can post that is more typical?

That's odd
Have you had any mature peppers yet?

The two on the right in the square pots are habaneros

Thanks for the pics. I had a couple of really small red ones around a month or so ago. Just by looking at your plants I'm pretty certain the genetics are trash in mine. I won't bother seeding this one.

Here's an example of a mature pepper that I just picked for reference. Pretty pathetic. Hilarious even. :rolleyes:
