Let's talk peppers.... - 03/09/16 11:02 AM
I'm looking at growing my own peppers this year on the deck in containers. I think I'm good on getting them started indoors but I still need to actually buy some seeds.
I'm interested in jalapeņos for poppers and chipotle. I'd like for these to provide fruit for as long as possible. Something that produces consistantly thru summer/fall would be perfect. And they certainly don't need to be the hottest veriaty. I'd probably prefer a more mild veriaty but I'm not too concerned with that as long as they produce well in a pot.
I'm also interested in chile or cayenne peppers for drying into flakes and chile powder. This I'd just as soon have one big harvest.
So any strains or brand name seeds I should look for and where would I find them?
And what is everyone's favorite peppers to grow, why and what do you do with them?
Any growing tips, especially in containers is also appreciated. My deck faces sw so getting 8-10 hours of full sun is not an issue. It can certainly get hot out there during heat waves but I'll deal with that later.
Thanks
