I thought I’d pipe in on the pepper discussion since I’ve
been pondering it for some time. We’ve had extremely mixed results with pepper yields
this year. For green bells we’ve grown Orion because the seed is
organic and pepper size is good. But production has been terrible two years in
a row. Both years have been quite wet, but last year was very cool, this year very
hot and humid. Not sure I’ll grow these ever again. I just don’t
know what they need to produce well. I think I’ll be growing Ace as
others have suggested. Antohi Romanian frying peppers performed beautifully last
year in the cool, wet temps, but are almost non-existent this year. We have
them on both IRT and bare ground and both have been just a miserable waste of
space. However, other peppers did quite well: Corno di Toro, red
and tangerine pimentos, Italian sunset have all been cranking out nice quantities.
These are not great for commercial sales due to their small size, but good for
specialty markets/farmers’ markets. Carmen peppers are only average this year from the field.
