I am Italian too. Let me share with you a hot pepper oil aka peperoncini sott'olio we do, recipe has been passed down from my grandmother that is from Italy. Chop your hot peppers into very small pieces. place in a bowl and very generously salt them (sea salt or kosher salt works best, it will feel like alot of salt but do not worry) cover bowl and leave at room temp for 24 hours. Drain any liquid and then cover in vinegar and leave another 24 hours. Drain all vinegar off. put peppers in a clean jar and cover in oil (we use canola so the oil doesn't over power the pepper flavor, light olive oil is fine too) then close jar and is shelf stable for upto 1 year if they last that long. perfect over pasta 😁

As a pepper lover I would like to add the Ukrainian “Lesya” pepper. It is almost shaped like a heart. It gets sizable enough to stuff. An be eaten green or red. No heat at all but sweet.

Most people don’t know that you can winter over pepper plants. I’ve found, the hotter ones are easier. I have a 2 year old jalapeño, a 3 year old habanero, and a 4 year old Carolina Reaper.

I subbed to all videos, I too am Italian, and I love pickling hot peppers, I planted 8 verieties, last year I had troubl finding all of them, I love serranos, so I bought 4 cowhorn plants, they were hot and so productive, I could not believe how many peppers came of those 4 plant, I picked them every other week, but they were a thin walled pepper and they got very soft from the boiling brine, so I dried them in my dehydrator and ground them into red pepper flakes, I have a whole qt mason jar full, to season chilli or what ever for a year, yeah, I use a qt or red pepper flake per year. Last year I canned 50 qts of tomatoes and 15 qts of hot peppers, I only have 3 qts of peppers left, I do give some to friends, but we love em, great videos I love the tips.

Man...the hot cherry pepper is amazing. Another pepper you might enjoy is the Jimmy Nardello pepper which was brought over from Italy by Giuseppe Nardiello about 145 years ago. It is long and thin walled which is great for people that have a hard time digesting peppers and it makes for excellent dried peppers. It is deep red, really delicious and it grows like crazy. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada🍁

Thank you for explaining heartworm disease to everyone. As a vet tech, I can't count the times someone has said it is just made up by veterinarians to get money. Some people are so hard headed.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Spend one month volunteering at a shelter...you'll learn it the hard way. The amount of dogs that die down here in the South is crazy, and it's so easy to prevent. The preventative is cheap and easy, so there is no excuse.

[@lfay8177]

Many people don't realize that heartworm medications such as Ivermectin are dewormers so it doesn't necessarily prevent a dog from being infected but it kills potential larve before they turn into adult heart clogging spaghetti. Even if 3-4 doses are missed, the medication has a reach back effect and will kill any existing larve that may be present in the blood with almost 100% efficacy. In fact, In dogs with confirmed heartworm infections, vets use the same Medication to treat the infection just at higher doses. So if you miss a couple doses, its totally safe to start meds again without worrying about adverse health effects. HW is MUCH more common in areas that stay warm year round like in the south because mosquitos die when Temps drop below 5O degrees Just a tidbit of info I learned working at a vet office & sitting through pharmaceutical presentations lol

Discovered datil peppers as a bonus seed pack when I ordered a certain amount of packs. Come to find out they were developed in St. Augustine, FL and love the heat and rain. They are habanero hot but with a bit of citrus sweetness. They ripen in succession rather than all at once. Makes great spicy sweet jelly.

[@michaelcolloton6971]

I've had great success growing banana peppers,, but I've always grown the hot variety. In terms of heat, they fall somewhere between jalapenos and serranos. By far, my favorite pepper is the cowhorn. They grow about as long as a banana, but they're not as big around. They're the hottest pepper I grow, but they're also the tastiest and among the most productive.. I still have a couple jars I canned in October 2019.

I grew the first 2 plants you mentioned this year, aplenty. more peppers than I needed and 2 great strong plants.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

[@SilverSaabArc]

One of my favorites for fall hot sauce making is Sugar Rush Peach! Baccatums set fruit late, and they all ripen around the same time once the heat breaks in late sumner! Very fruity and sweet with pronounced but short lived heat and a non-descript tropical aftertaste. I also love most Paprika varieties for roasting and stuffing with cheese. I ditched Jalapeño for some of the Hatch and Numex varieties, and have no regrets. Ashe County Pimento is my go to for early setting and prolific sweet red peppers, especially for the northern climates. An odd ball variety to look for seeds is the CGN 21500. One of my favorites, it has roughly half the heat of an orange habanero, and tastes much better with almost no detectable floral or soap flavor! As mentioned earlier, Ill second Shishito for an all around best variety. Prolific, and great grilled, smoked or stir fried at any stage!

I've really been enjoying your content. I'm on the other side of North Carolina in the foothills at Polk county near lake lure. If you are a spice fan, try a Carolina reaper not to eat raw, tear up and not enjoy. But I take all my fruit and dry them then grind it up into a powder. I generally get a mason jars hole at the end of the season. And it is well enough to last me and many friends till the next year. Only takes a little sprinkle or a partial spoonful in a giant chili batch. If used wisely it can give good heat multiple times out of one single pepper.

[@tonyjanckila6320]

Let garden salsa peppers mature to bright red. Great base for hot sauce to add hotter varieties if you like. Good after roasting for sauce. One of my favs, too.

[@terridunning5439]

That cherry pepper sounds interesting. I try at least one new pepper per year, just for the fun of it and I think I'll add cherry pepper to the line up for next year or maybe even this fall if I can get seeds right now. This year I tried Beaver Dam for the first time and am impressed. A bit hot (for me) and a bit sweet. I split them in half and stuffed with goat cheese, chopped sun dried tomatoes and chopped bacon. Baked off till goowy. Yum! Thanks for sharing your pepper picks.
