bells are in abundance at every supermarket. yes, the others can be too but having your own crop of fresh hot peppers to choose from and add to a dish at any point is nice.

bells are also $ripoff at the supermarket, which is why I want to grow them

the others I want to grow because while they have 'em at the supermarket sometimes, they usually are half-rotten and lack the heat of good homegrown peppers

why dont you grow 1 plant of each?

and that doesnt look like a cayenne... unless it's zoomed way in

habeneros are the best

put some habenero zest in some scrambled eggs and you will nut in your pants due to overwhelming delicious nest

i grew habaneros once and never found a way to use all the peppers

granted it's nice to give them away, but you can only use so much habanero

ok so for now I am going with the 4 I originally mentioned

but I am also considering:


Thai hot

upon the recommendation of the seed store fellow

speaking of excessive habaneros, I got a straight up sack of habanero seed for free because it was last year's, I might have to grow some tomatillos and see if I can't can some salsa lol

oh man you're gonna need a bunch of direct sunlight

get a cheap kit and check your soil pH too... high nitrogen levels, in my experience, lead to blazing hot peppers

I recommend Thai decorative chilis as an indoor potted plant cause they look really nice and are hot enough to add a little kick to any dish

there is a greenhouse out back n'shit, not too worried about the sunlight

on a random note, this tidbit from Wikipedia I found extremely interesting (reposting pic from above lol):


A crude method of determining the heat level of jalapeƱo is to visually observe the number of scars present on the skin. Laboratory analysis of the above peppers showed them to have an average Scoville scale of 1980, 2350, 3620, 4450, and 7700 from the top pepper to the bottom.
