Are we talking about growing peppers outside or in High Tunnels? If we are talking about outside, they were a total flop this year. I am usually picking them by the bucket fulls, this year not so much. I know part of my problem was it was too wet in June. I ended up with some leaf diseases and I many of the plants dropped leaves. I sprayed with copper several times and they came out of it. Then the heat came. I picked many of the peppers, small and all so they would burn up. Then the rains came back and the weeds and crab grass grew. Too little, too late. However, if we are talking about peppers in my high tunnels, they have been one of the bright spots of the year. I planted two twin rows of 75 for a grand total of 150 plants. I started picking them on June 16th and have been picking my fill for the markets ever since. I was picking bells big enough to fill a pint sized strawberry baskets. They were just HUGE! At a $1 to $1.50 a piece I was happy. I am still picking, granted they are much smaller, two to a basket, I still had 6 plastic grocery bags full for my market on Wednesday. Not too bad, for me. As far as varieties, I had probably 12 different ones. All were good at one time or another. I will be picking these guys until the frost does them in. Probably in November.
