All The Peppers I Am Growing and Why

[@davidniemi6553]

I definitely would not trust my doggo in my garden while I'm doing anything delicate like seed-starting! She's way too energetic and curious.

[@anna_boston]

So wonderful to see a fellow Bulgarian so passionate about gardening - I am from Svishtov originally but live in Boston for the last 25 years, and have an established vegetable, herb, and berry urban garden. I have not been back for more than 10 years, but would love to get some seeds of vegetables that my grandparents grew in the village back in the day. Thank you for the wonderful channel!

[@jacquesinthegarden]

The northern border region of Bulgaria is one of the few regions we haven't spent much time in, mostly because we don't have any family or friends up there but someday I would love to explore that region as well! The produce in Bulgaria has always been the best I have ever ate and it is one of my favorite things about visiting.

[@anna_boston]

@@jacquesinthegarden A beautiful region along the Danube river .. Svishtov, Russe, and near Svishtov also the amazing town of Veliko Tarnovo. I no longer go there, unfortunately (too busy gardening year-round in Boston). Thanks for the great videos, I've learnt a lot!

[@vincent2872]

I live in Canada and it's the first time I hear about February Fire seeds & Small Island co. and it's a game-changer (they're about to take all my money) ! Love your videos as always thanks

[@Rox_and_Fields]

As a pepper lover, I loved this video! "Frying pepper" is a term I hadn't heard before, but since I love shishitos, why not others? Going to shop for some of these varieties now! PS loved the dogs and the beautiful nasturtium in the BG.

[@TenThumb2]

I must admit, I often put your videos on in the background because your voice is soothing.

[@farfromhomeDotnet]

I really enjoyed the extra info about each of the pepper varieties, and seeing the names on the screen. I'm trying a few new ones this year, several of the varieties are purple, just for fun

[@Gardeningchristine]

Planted my Solanaceae in trays 14 days ago. 72 cells I’ve had 9 germinate. Under grow lights, but next to a window, and freezing temps at night I think they’re too cold. Will definitely be replanting on my heat mat. Last year I ended up with more tomatoes than I planted so I was more sparing this year too. Made sure only one per cell because I hate cutting them but couldn’t give away all the extras last year.

[@wormulous]

I planted a ton of banana peppers myself. Germination is... well... non existent here as well. I might actually start more and keep them in a warmer part of my house because I dont think they are having any part of being where they are now.

[@umiluv]

With a heat mat, my peppers all came in 1-2 weeks. It’s worth it to have the heat mat, especially for peppers.

[@wormulous]

@@umiluv I have a heat mat as well and I don't think it was enough. Everything else germinated just fine but the peppers the garage is super cold however.

[@umiluv]

@@paddyotterness - that’s the thing with the heat mat. You have to monitor the seedlings bc they will die on the mat if you don’t get them off of there. I lost one of my pepper plants because I didn’t water it enough as it was sitting on the heat mat.

[@umiluv]

@@wormulous - yah. I do my peppers inside the house next to a window. The temp next to the window is around 70 during the day and 65 at night. Our HVAC is at 66-68. The heat mat I use raises the temp about 10-15 degrees. Peppers need 80-90F soil temp. I couldn’t do it in the garage since my garage gets down to the 40s and low 50s in my area in the spring. I’m in zone 7a and it’s currently dropping below freezing this week at night so garage would be way too cold.

I’m growing a ton of peppers this year. They are my favorite. I’m even growing some Carolina reapers and other hot varieties. I plan on making a hot sauce with the peppers I grow this year. I’m looking forward to it.

[@conniemcgehee2851]

This summer when start harvesting it would be Nice to see some Of These recipes jn a video

[@jacquesinthegarden]

Will do!

[@jaredmccutcheon5496]

I have always loved growing peppers and have quite an extensive pepper seed collection, my super hot pepper collection alone is over 200 varieties. I love growing them but honestly the only one I really enjoy eating is ghost pepper, and even then it’s dehydrated, ground into flakes and added to dishes very sparingly. My favorite way to eat it is in white chocolate with sea salt added, it’s amazing with the sweet, spice and salt combined. Of the hot peppers that are not in the super hot range scotch bonnet is my hands down favorite. And jalapeño is probably the one I cook with the most because everyone in my family can handle it and enjoys the mild spice it adds. I grow about 12 or 15 jalapeño plants every year to make sure I have plenty for poppers, salsa, and at the end of summer a big batch of cowboy candy.

[@LyndsayMyers]

Oh my! Can you please teach us some of these preparations of peppers this summer? Pickled?! In oil with herbs and garlic?! Roasted and stuffed. My gosh I think I want peppers every night. There were so many amazing ideas. I’ve never had much luck with pepper because I’m so un-reliable with watering. I did have a bumper crop of shishitos the one year I grew them. Desert island pepper made me laugh. I agree. Thank you!

[@jacquesinthegarden]

Will do!!

[@mumstheword8]

I cannot get over just how many different peppers out there. Out of all the ones you are growing I'm growing 1 of them, the sugar rush peach, lol. I'm only growing 5 different varieties though. I need to find me that candy cane choco strip one though. That sounds interesting :)

[@JennTN411]

Great topic! I'm just starting to get over the flu, and this is the second video I've been able to watch all the way through. Never thought a video about peppers would make me hungry, but here we are 😆 Thank you for helping pull me back to life!❤

The Lemon Spice Jalapeñoes are so good! Even when they are still green, the flavor is outstanding! Happy growing :)

[@TheNellyShopovaShow]

Lol!!! I loved that you brought pepper seeds from Bulgaria! I do the same every time I go there. I'm actually from a small village by the city of Plovdiv so I had so much fun watching you plant Bulgarian peppers! Your Bulgarian is great! 🙂

You should try the purple bell pepper, it is a really cool looking pepper and adds a great pop of color to salads

[@KimberSnyder]

Love this! It was hard to find the February Fire pepper. So many Canadian companies would not ship to the US; however, I was finally able to find a company HR seed out of PA. I am so excited to grow so many peppers this year. I appreciate you talking about so many types.

Nice selection. Couldn't agree more on fried shishitos, I love when you get a nice spicy batch. Have you tried *yellow* scotch bonnets/chinense types? They're my favorite for flavor!

[@kerstinberg6217]

Very interesting video! I much appreciate the variety Iv'e learned about, and as someone else said, thank you so much for putting up the spelling (non native here😅). As for the Thai food, you can make some really authentic thai flavours if you use this Trinity: galangal root (I guess you could grow that easily in your climate), lemon grass and caffir lime leaves. Use any type and as many chili peppers as you wish. Mix those up with coconut milk and veggies and there you go. 😉

[@davisia81791]

4:01 If you're trying to recreate Thai food (or at least, Pad Thai), try adding some ketchup to the sauce. Adam Ragusea has a Pad Thai video and he explains why it gets you that takeout flavor and it might be that secret flavor you're looking for.

[@jacquesinthegarden]

I have heard about this recently as well, at some point I will remember to give it a try.

[@Katya.june3]

Great video! I am new to growing peppers. I like that you are into the sweeter spectrum. An excellent range of variety. I am already planning on my harvest for next season. So thank you for your list, gave me a few to write down.

[@hippocket31]

Shishitos are the bomb. Wonderful with a few dipping sauces.

[@ritalr15]

I would need to order those Escamillo peppers. My mom is an Escamilla, just to try them out.

[@MySwellGarden]

Awesome! Love your Nasturtiums as well! Can't wait to get my peppers going. We are still under a heavy blanket of snow in Northern Ontario! Love your channel❤

[@umiluv]

I’m growing jalapeño, serrano, Anaheim, ancho poblano, cascabella, Thai, gochu, and shishito. The cascabella are the spiciest I’m growing I think. They’re the peppers that are pickled that you get when you buy chili burgers from Tommy’s. Husband loves hatch chiles and those seeds are really hard to find. They are from New Mexico and it’s noted that the Anaheim and Ancho Poblano are hatch chiles so I’m growing both to see lol. There are no Asian chili or herbs where I live so I have to grow them if I want to eat/cook with them. I gave the neighbor some pepperoncini seeds and he planted some so we might do some trading.

[@markoliver-ww9ld]

I got Shishito, Poblano and Serrano too along with 12 others.

[@lukehoekstra762]

You can buy “Hatch” chili seed many places online. But they are not sold as Hatch. The most common one is called “New Mexico No. 6-4”.

[@whatdidyousay13]

Amazing selection of peppers , nice as always Jock !

[@stanleyroy4707]

Just ordered the February Fire. Thank you. They should do well here in Massachusetts. Also $3 less on the Canadian exchange and free shipping.

[@lynnlovessoil]

I love the Chervena Chushka Bulgarian peppers. I have grown them the last 3 years and will always grow them. So versatile and easy to grow. I also always grow the Italia pepper from Seed Savers Exchange as well.

[@debbiespitznagel1472]

It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. You have such a calm nature. I loved all the descriptions of the peppers you gave and why you chose them. I grew quite a few of the same peppers last year. I will definitely grow many more shishito peppers. My friends and I loved them grilled. It was the first year that I grew Biquinho peppers, too. I only had one plant and I wasn't quite sure what to make with them. I'll look forward to seeing updates on your peppers. I live in Rhode Island, so our growing season isn't as long as yours, but the peppers did well last year.

[@fizzypop1858]

Awesome, informational video, Jacques! Peppers, and tomatoes, are my most favorite thing to grow, so this was great to watch and take notes for trying varieties you've suggested. Happy growing!

[@Idontwantachannel67]

This year im growing Pumpkin spice jalapeño, regular jalapeños, Serrano, Bulgarian carrot, purple beauty bell, shishito, padrón, golden marconi, biquinho, poblano, and cayenne. Hopefully this year will get a better yield. Happy gardening!

[@ceecee-thetransplantedgardener]

This was so fun. Coincidentally, I will also be growing Jimmy Nardello, Escamillo, Shishitos, and Golden Marconi. Love Marconi's for stuffing. Yum! Like you - I grow for eating raw and cooking purposes; I can only do so much hot sauce. I've grown the Mad Hatter before - and it's a fun pepper. Great producer and best when ripened to red; great for snacking or slicing up in a salad.

[@tanyabeneke4309]

Sugar rush peach is one of my favorites. I grew the sugar rush stripey this year. So delicious and beautiful.

[@Heatily]

So many varieties. Love these pepper growing videos

[@donnacreamer4123]

I’m trying one new pepper this year. It’s a trial seed of a Habanero pepper that has a lower heat range. I want the tropical fruitiness of Habanero but, I cannot handle the heat index of regular ones. Fingers crossed. Btw, some hot pepper plants carry their heat in the stems and leaves too. I no longer trim or pick Canary peppers with bare hands. 🥴🥴

[@jacquesinthegarden]

The habanada is a really cool habanero with most of the flavor but no heat! Also, I didn't realize that was a thing and will be careful when trimming my surviving hot peppers!

[@PriestessKikyo1]

Wow! Really excited to hear about the "February Fire" pepper. Who knew anything like that existed?? I'm looking forward to updates from you about that variety.

[@davidniemi6553]

I'm still trying many dozens of pepper varieties each year, promising myself next year I'll stick more to ones I already know and like. I'm growing Chervena Chushka this year, they are big and vigorous so far and I'm looking forward to them. I overwintered a Sugar Rush Peach last year which was highly productive, but in my climate the pods take forever to ripen; if they finally do (without getting brown spots due to too much rain), they are delicious and sweet, I'd estimate them at 50K - 100K scovilles. I particularly like cutting them up and mixing them into salads.

[@hazeysgarden]

I grew 16 bell pepper plants this year (my first year seriously gardening) at first I loved growing them, but then the blossom end rot got so bad, and the peppers were way too small most of the time. So I just ended up frustrated. I use bell peppers in literally EVERYTHING that I cook. So I really want to find a replacement pepper that is more productive, and fun to grow since I use peppers in just about everything I cook. (Cajun from south Louisiana)

[@anderslundberg2629]

My experience with shishitos last year was entirely the opposite, heat-wise, especially as the season progressed. I had 9 shishitos growing in 2lb / 8" containers, and besides being great producers (final count at the end of summer was close to 1100 peppers 👀), the probability of getting a hot one wayyyy increased by the end of summer. I feel like we were getting 40-50% of them as hot at one point. Also doing Sugar Rush Peach this year too! Great video! Lots of things I've never seen.

[@jacquesinthegarden]

Wow! It may be that some varieties have a tighter band for not producing hot ones, I have grown the variety "Takara" before and that was quite consistently not hot.

Ever since i learned that peppers are actually perennials i make it a point to overwinter them (i just leave them outside untill all the leaves fall off, then bring them into my garage with a grow light) I have a jalapeno plant that is going on 4 years old, and shishitos that are on their second year. I don't know who started the myth that older pepper plants don't produce as well, cause it's march and there's already more flowers on mine than i can count. With a little fertilizer and some basic maintenance pepper plants are by far my favorite plants, because they just keep giving. seriously it's a jalapeno tree at this point, the base of the stem is as wide as a quarter.

Peach-A-Dew Pepper is hot, but not crazy hot. They have a gorgeous Peachy color, they're crunchy, juicy and sweet yet deliciously fruity! They're absolutely AMAZING and quite prolific too. I usually don't go past mild peppers but I loved the Peach-A-Dew Pepper so much that I wish I had grown more. This year I have 6 plants started instead on the 2 plants that I had last year. I ususlly share any extra Pepper plants that I have left over but these Peach-A-Dew plants will not be one of them this time around 😂 Definitely keeping this all to myself, lol. Pizza Pepper was another huge hit for me last year. They're the perfect mild pepper! Thick walls, super crunchy, just the right amount of spiciness/low heat but with a smokey green better flavor that's actually much better than than the taste of a standard green pepper. Also prolific and so versatile. Pizza Pepper is the kind of Pepper that you can pick, snack on and savor it right there in the garden and enjoy a small amount of heat without burning your mouth off. I HIGHLY recommend both!
