Homeowner Forum / Lawn and Garden / June 2007Hot peppers question
I've forgotten what type of hot peppers I bought. <insert flogging here> Does it make a difference when I pick them? If they are supposed to turn red are they any less hot when they are still green? > I've forgotten what type of hot peppers I bought. <insert flogging here> > Does it make a difference when I pick them? If they are supposed to turn > red are they any less hot when they are still green? color doesn't effect the heat, in my book. but picking time would depend on the type.......and the size........ do you have peppers yet? if so, what do they look like? i could tell you more based upon description. rae excuse my typing skills tonight. typing in dark while holding baby! >> I've forgotten what type of hot peppers I bought. <insert flogging >> here> Does it make a difference when I pick them?

They are ping pong ball size and bell-pepper green. They have a bit of a tip to them but it is rounded, not pointy sharp. All I remember is that they are supposed to be REALLY hot. I don't think they are jalapeno tho'. > >> I've forgotten what type of hot peppers I bought. <insert flogging > >> here> Does it make a difference when I pick them?

If they are green, try the heat, if too hot lose the seeds. If they are red and too hot, lose the seeds. If they are round, with a pointy tip and orange, buckle up. One quarter to one half as you go. Don't eat too many as you will hate yourself in the morning.

We're growing about 5 or 10 this year. And only one or two (if that) are the well-known ones like those mentioned above. >> well, that sounds like it rules out tabasco, banana, and cayenne. >> habanero maybe? they are suppose to hotter than jalapeno. or [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > We're growing about 5 or 10 this year.

Apparently it IS supposed to get red and is "mildly hot" whatever that means. > well, that sounds like it rules out tabasco, banana, and cayenne. > habanero maybe? they are suppose to hotter than jalapeno. or possibly the > famous "peter pepper" - but don't think it would be those, they are short > and rounded, but get to be about 2-3 inches long. are you sure they were > hot peppers, and not bell peppers?? lol Cherry peppers? I've seen two different type of ping pong ball shape and size peppers at the store, one called Cherry pepper, and the other I don't recall the name ATM. Peppers also get sweeter as they mature. Don't almost all peppers turn red/yellow/purple as they mature? |
