Peppers
Ancho
Seed Source: Jordan Seeds
Terrific for frying, roasting, and drying. We’ve grown these before but haven’t kept notes. Check back for updates!
Cayenne
Seed Source: Seeds of Change
A popular variety, great for cooking and dehydrating. This is the pepper to plant if you want to add heat to your dinners!
Corno Di Toro Sweet Pepper
Seed Source: Seeds of Change
A new variety for 2011. Check back for updates!
Easy Bean / Unsure Variety
Seed Source: Easy Bean Farm Food share from 2006
To be honest, I don’t remember what these peppers are, or why we saved them! But we did, and I do remember we grew them in 2007 and saved the seeds again. I just came across a packet of these “2nd Generation” seeds – so we’re giving them a whirl for 2011 to see what happens!
Hungarian Carrot Pepper
Seed Source: Hirt’s Garden
“Great for Frying” was the description that came along with these pepper seeds. And that’s all we know so far! Check back for updates this summer.
Jalapeno
Seed Source: Jordan Seeds
Classic Jalapenos. We’ve grown these every year. They turn red if you leave them on the plant long enough.
Jimmy Nardello’s Sweet Italian Frying Pepper
Seed Source: Bountiful Gardens
These are a terrific sweet pepper (that looks like a chile pepper), and as the name suggests, it is excellent for frying! Prolific plants with 4-6″ fruits. They are ripe when they are red, but can be eaten green.
Marconi Rosso (Red Marconi)
Seed Source: Pagano/Italian Pepper seed source
This is a large, red sweet pepper. Check back for more updates son!
Purira
Seed Source: Seeds of Change
Beautiful little, colorful hot chile peppers! These peppers are like Christmas lights; they change from green to yellow to purple to orange to red. The longer you let them ripen on the plant, the hotter they become!
This is a great ornamental variety. We have grown them for many years, but decided not to grow them for 2011, to try out some new varieties. They certainly add heat to any dish!
Thai Hot
Seed Source: Livington Seed
Another new variety for 2011. I don’t know much about these peppers, but if we like them we’ll save seeds and see how they perform next year!
