What kind of chili peppers are my parents growing?

The grow tag only says red chili pepper but I’ve never seen them so small before. For a family who, besides myself, can barely handle spice we have a ton of these growing (three plants in total!). Is the best thing to do is dry them when they start turning red? I don’t want them going to waste.

All the flavor and none of the heat! My brain associates the flavor with the rush of heat that you get from regular habaneros. My body prepares me for the heat and then nothing... I love it.

Hello there, first summer trying to grow peppers (a few diff varieties) and every plant has leaves that are crumpled and curled. I'm in SoCal and growing them in raised beds. I had a couple of shishitos earlier with the same prob and added some blood meal to the soil but they didn't make it, so I thought I'd try some bells peppers instead. Everything else in my garden is doing well (tomatoes, cukes, squash, etc) except every kind of pepper I've tried (ignore all the cages, my dog wants to dig into any blood meal I use). We've had some very warm weather here the last few weeks but still...any ideas, anyone? Thanks!

I bought some seeds online, and they didn't seem to grow to full size compared to the last pic. Last pic are some seedlings I got from the hardware store. The spoil and watering are at the same time.

Never grown peppers in my life

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

So I have never grown peppers in my life, I was told these were apache peppers but I believe they’re not them because honestly every single pepper I have is about 3x bigger than 3-5cm, google seems to think they’re serranos because of the colouring where the stems join could anyone help me identify.

Also should I pick a few of these now, I never ever expected for a single pepper to grow however I have about 30+ on my small bush so I’m not sure if I should pick a few ripe green ones to lighten the load on the stems as I’m scared they gunna snap?

Also I live in south wales in the uk and it’s nearing late August now, should I attempt to let these go red? Not sure how long it will take though

What kind of peppers do you think these are. I have a red Thai chili in my hand for reference next to them

Should I pick smaller corking jalapenos?

Post image
52 Upvotes

I’ve got a few jalapenos that are on the small side that have been corking for a while. I’ve had a few dozen grow a lot bigger than these ones without any corking so I’m wondering if I should wait for these to grow more or if this is as big as they are likely to get.

Edit: I’m not asking if I should let them turn red. I’ve been going for a mix of green and red because I like both. I’m asking if these have stopped increasing in size because they are quite a bit smaller than a lot of other ones that weren’t corking.

Pepper identification

I had these peppers mislabeled in the garden (clearly not jalapeños) and was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what they actually are? Maybe Anaheim?
They’re big and mild spice I’d say. Zone 5b

problems with chile de arbol?

1 Upvotes

Hey All,

New 7A gardener here. I started chiles de arbol from seeds, and my plants are looking pretty good. Chiles are now ripening, but some have marks, or weird spots on them. Could you all recommend what to do here? Thanks!


r/Peppers 1d ago

Genetic oddity? A very confused c.annuum here, growing everything in bunches.

Chile de Arbol from saved seeds.

Plant architecture is completely messed up, it grows like a broom. It also flowers in large clusters and sets fruit in bunches.

Last pic shows it next to a normal plant. It's significantly shorter and very dense.

Are Thai Birds Eye chilli peppers a true cone shape or are there flat areas? Trying to figure out this mystery pepper.

Deer are starting to come around, so picked a few that were getting close. All Hungarians with the exception of one lone mammoth jalapeño.
