Giant Red Marconi peppers have outstanding flavor. We are foodies and this pepper does not disappoint! Thick walls, very sweet with a slight smoky flavor.
I’ve been growing them every year for about 10 years, we love them!
You should check out Piment D'esplette.- also known as Gorria peppers.
As mild or milder than jalapeños. But much sweeter with lots of flavor.
In France, it's dried and ground up - used in place of black pepper.
I've grown Habanada the past two seasons. Tip : make absolutely sure that the pod is fully ripe before you eat it. If you try it when it's still green, it tastes really bad. But once it has turned orange, it gets this amazingly sweet citrus-like flavor. I'll probably grow them every season now.
I tried Habanada last season and it is true that fully ripened they are amazing. For me this variety has 2 drawbacks. First, the plant is extremely attractive to aphids and second it has really tiny habitat so it needs some space not to be overshadowed by normal sized pepper plants.
Trying them for first time this year. Thank you for tip.
I love their color when fully ripe. I make hot sauce using Sugar Rush Peach but the color is pale. I throw some Habanada peppers in and it gives it more of a peach color.
I first misread the name and thought you were talking about Habanero😆 A non spicy pepper 😂
Yeah, ya gotta be VERY careful when ordering seeds sometimes. HabaNADA vs HabaNERO. Big difference! @@PM-wt3ye
100% agree with the Jimmy Nardello and various Cherry Peppers. We grow them every year.
My brother has colitis, a bowel disease that is exacerbated by hot chillis but he is addicted to Mexican food. Most of these varieties are impossible to get in Australia, but I did manage to secure an heirloom banana variety for him so it's good to know that at least a kind of banana chilli is considered excellent.
Ajivarski, a semi long wedge shaped sweet pepper from Macedonian origin.
From Baker creek, this pepper is thick and sweet with a little juice.
Outstanding cooked or raw. Really love this one.
Shishitos were new to me this year, I bought plants that were suppose to be poblano, but they were shishitos, we did grill them like you recommended and now they are one of our favorites, definitely on the grow list for this year, they were also amazing pickled, my family keeps begging for more.!
You made one comment that is really important- ask around and see what grows well in your area. Best garden advice ever!
I grew way to many Pepperoncini last year and have started to really like them because of how many I've had to eat. The yield on each plant was a big surprise, easy to grow
Agreed! Pepperoncini is great and surprisingly quite productive. I grew 3 different varieties of Pepperoncini last year, the standard kind as well as the Orange and Yellow/Gold kinds. All were had great yields and flavor but just the right amount of low heat for that spicy kick without triggering reflux. The orange and yellow ones are beautiful grown together for a nice pop of color.
My all time fave! Can't get enough of these little pickled peppers❤
Carmen Bull Horns are the best red pepper to home grow and cook. Won't disappoint, I add to my canning recipes and they add sweet and color to recipes.
And they do well in northern climates
I love using poblanos in cooking, and that was my best performer I had for my first summer growing! I only get up to 8 hours of direct sun on my apartment porch so it was slow going. But I also learned, repot in BIG pots! I got the plant from a store and put it in a trough with four others, they all struggled except for the poblano I put into a 5-7gal pot.
It’s overwintered and still living, so I’m looking forward to it this year!
I agree. Mine is still producing.
Add a handful of pelletized gypsum when planting to stop blossom end rot
Yolo hope everyone is doing great
I would laugh at people who ate Nadapeno's. I didn't understand why you would grow a non-spicy jalapeño. Most of the ones in the stores are mild. But last year my 4 year old granddaughter ate her first pepper EVER. And it was out of my garden. She sat and ate two Nadapenos I grew just for her and after she ate the two, she wanted more.
I like to roast nadapenos and jalapeños together for a cook out. It’s like Russian roulette for the family. You get to watch who gets the hotter ones. 😂
Jalapenos are a nice size for snacking. They have thicker flesh than a baby bell pepper
I’ve grown Nadapenos for the last two years. To me they taste like a plain green bell pepper…nothing special at all. Very dissapointed😔.
You should try growing Ajicitos. My favorite and the base to making sofrito. Look them up.
How sweet!!!
Ajvarski Sweet peppers grew well in containers in Louisville, KY (zone 7a). Thick walls, good yields. I'll have to grow more this year!
A few others have suggested this! We grew it about 4 years ago but don't remember much about it's flavor. It was a tough year so we only got a handful. May have to try that one again.
You can use them to make ajvar, a delicious spread from Serbia made with roasted red peppers and eggplant. Bullhorns also work well for this.
What size container did you use?
Napoleon is a bell pepper but is elongated to about 9", has a complex sweet flavor and is very productive
I am growing several non/very low spicy peppers this year. King of the North (a bell type), Matan, Paprik, Pepperonchini (these last 2 are about 500 on the Scoville scale), Bulls Horn, Witchstick (a very cool 8 to 10 inch pepper that curls) and finally a Aji De Sazonar that is very mild.
My problem with growing peppers, though, is that my hottest months on the year (June, July and August) have average nighttime lows of 55F. Been working on ways to protect my babies (pots by the house, a small greenhouse and low tunnels). Hopefully this will be my year. The only saving grace is a 200+ long growing season.
03:33 My absolute favorite for non spicy peppers. I eat them like apples... Every time I try to cook with those, I can't help but to take a bite, and end up eating the whole thing, leaving none to put into my dish 😂🌶
Per your recommendation I now have ten Jimmy Nardello peppers in 5 gallon grow bags outside doing really well and with peppers forming (pinched many flowers early on). I'm in NH so as usual started them way too early mid February. I potted them up a lot and babied them but next year late March minimum is when I'll plant seeds. I'm so excited for Jimmy Nardello peppers as I hear nothing but rave reviews. Already they're about 18" tall and loaded with flowers. By Fall they should be trees! I'll make paprika / smoked paprika from some but looking forward to roasted and olive oil marinated strips for sausages and sandwiches. Thanks for the recommendation, I never grew them before but already they're my favorite. 👍🏻
I grew Etiuda bell peppers last year and holy cow, I think it may be the sweetest pepper I've ever eaten. They're a bright tangerine orange, huge and blocky, perfect for stuffing, though I hardly had any for that, because I just wanted to eat them all sliced up raw. I tried Lesya last year and found it to be a bit bland. I was expecting more flavor, but could have just been a fluke. Giant Marconi was also a big hit, and great for stuffing. I just wish I'd gotten more of them! What I did get were super tasty though.
Etiuda peppers are amazing! I’m in Alaska so it’s too cold even in the summer to grow them outside. I grow them indoors hydroponically all winter long in an AeroGarden Bounty. So delicious!
I really like your suggestions for non-spicey peppers. As a small home gardener I have a hard time buying all the seeds for recommended veggies since I only need 1 or 2 plants of most varieties. Usually I plant more than I can use and it just causes me more work for nothing. Have you ever thought about selling multiple seed varieties in a single package with just a few seeds of each variety? The seeds you talked about in this video would make a perfect package. You could even charge a premium for the repackaging labor. Where I would pay $2-$4 for a paket of seeds I'd happily pay double that for a small variety.
Last season I tried growing Ajvarski peppers and loved them! The flavor is amazing and the plants were strong & productive. I saw some Italian peppers at a farm stand that looked similar, so I bought them to try. They were bland. I've never had good luck with bell peppers (they were always small and flavorless, even when mature) and I like more flavor than the green bells provide, anyway. This is why I have added Ajvarski to my permanent rotation.
Ajvarski is my fave too! I still have three plants in my garden beds that have survived the cold winter so far. Pretty amazing!
@@Francina214 That's great! What zone are you in? That would never work where I live in Michigan (zone 5b for me.) I did bring one inside to overwinter though.
I love Ajvarski too- good when green and great when red!
One of my favorites too! I mostly make roasted peppers with them. They freeze and then thaw really well.
I grew them a few years ago and they were Jalapeño hot, nothing resembling sweet pepper. Still made good some good ground paprika
Glad to see my top 2 peppers from last year on the list. Shishitos produced INSANELY well last year despite being smaller plants (~2 ft), and the Jimmy Nardellos grew very aggressively and gave me a really nice early harvest, then ballooned up to 4-5ft and put out hundreds of peppers. Deers got into most of my hot peppers last year, so I am hoping this year I can work out some of my favorite hots.
Yes! The Nardellos are always one of the first plants to give us a few ripe pods, then they just go nuts in the late season.
I grew them also last year. Along with the Lesya Pepper. All did fairly well for me.
I will say the Carmen is a great pepper! I am in North TX and the drought left me with no peppers all summer. when the drought broke in Oct. all my carmen plants put on fruit and ripened them before the end of our season.
Candy Cane Peppers also look amazing once pickled ... If you share with family and friends they really add a unique look .
I grew some Tangerine Dream peppers last year, and they were my favorite of the varieties I planted. They grow upside down, and ripen into a bright orange color. I only had one plant, but ended up with more peppers than I could use.
Nice, Tangerine Dream looks like a great snacking variety, beautiful orange color
One of my favorite non-bell sweet pepper is the Gypsy hybrid. Very productive and easy to grow.
I love the Lesya pepper, so sweet!
I like the Ajvarski pepper from Baker Creek. It is similar to the Carmen (which I've never tried) but it's an heirloom. I like to save seeds.
My favorite from last year was the "Escamillo" from Johnny's. Large, very sweet, and very few seeds. The most disease resistant pepper I have ever grown is the Giant Sweet Devil's Horn from Heritage Seed Market. It was not affected from any of the pests or weather issues we had here in Eastern CT (I'm about 15 miles east of you).
Actually from what I read, soshito peppers have a like, 1 in 10 chance of being quite hot. Part of the fun is the "russian roulette" aspect to use a crude metaphor and guess who will get the hot one as you and your friends snack!!
I love Carmen peppers but as the only pepper eater in my family they end up being wasted. Johnnys also sells Cornito Rosso pepper which I believe essentially is a smaller fruiting “Carmen” pepper. In my opinion it has Same great yields but better for a 1or 2 person pepper household. I’ve grown them both in the Canadian prairies in large pots and always have great luck, huge yields and awesome taste. Thanks for this video!
I'm still new to peppers but I love the Cubanelle pepper a lot for sandwiches. Nice big and crunchy. Im assuming I'd also enjoy a lot of the other similar varieties.
Cubanelle peppers are my favorite! Averaged growing around an acre of numerous kinds of peppers for market, for about a decade. Few people appreciate the mild cubanelle & hot serrano to the extent deserved!
@@davidkottman3440 Out of the three first pepper plants I had the Cubanelle was by far my best. I tried growing Serrano peppers but sadly it stopped growing very early into the season and died around fall. I'm not really sure what happened to be honest. As for my Shishito that one also started dying around that time and I often had very dwarf sized pods the whole season. That being said, it was actually kind of a surprise to see how strong my Cubanelle was. It just seemed to keep growing and never stop even through some very cold days. In the end I was actually able to overwinter it too. Chopped up and everything with no leaves, it's still as green as ever and I'm excited to finally have some again hopefully soon. This time with new friends and my new found joy for growing plants. Currently I have an Aji Fantasy and Sugar Rush Peach that I grew by seed indoors, and they're all looking great! Definitely looking forward to seeing how those turn out. But yes I think you're right about Cubanelle peppers being underappreciated to the extent deserved! They don't seem to be talked about enough but yet I think they will be some of my favorites for a long time. 😊
@@Justin-xi6ue If you continue have problems with plants dying check for root rot problems, of course a lot of other stuff can happen too. Good luck!
@@davidkottman3440 I like Cubanelles for cooking but have never tried to grow them. Are they prolific? I would put some in the garden if so. Serrano is my most prolific hot pepper. I have gotten around 100 peppers from on potted plant.
@@morrismonet3554 Serrano and sweet banana peppers are more prolific, but cubanelle are much larger & very productive. They are also a large plant, but Serrano can be also.
Pablano’s, jalapeño and esp…AJVARSKY oh yeah 😂
I love heat, but it's super cool to see some coverage for the sweet peppers too!
I like lipstick pepper, Marconi, and apple pepper
Second the Marconi. I've never been able to get bell peppers to grow well here, but the Marconis have performed well for me the last 2 years.
I've grown lipstick the last couple of years - great plants and lovely sweet small peppers. Great for grabbing and chopping into a salad.
Love your videos and have ordered from you with good results. Shishitos - I have 20 plants this year. We smoke, then grill these with oil and salt. OMG. At foodie restaurants they cost a fortune which is absurd considering the incredible production per plant. Habanado and Jalenado, Corno di Toro (again we smoked) and finally the unbelievable Ashe County Pimento.
I grew Cubanelles for the first time last year. They're very similar in flavor to a bell pepper, but shaped like a wider banana pepper and have a much higher yield than the bells I've tried before. I'm not even bothering to try bells this year, just going with cubannells.
Remind folks that peppers can go into the freezer without blanching. Just treat them like the fruit they are and freeze whole or chopped.
I had really wonderful production last year from Mad Hatter Hybrids. Some sources online say it has a slight heat (
I'm growing both jimmy nardello and carmen peppers this year
This year I've managed to locate shishito peppers over here in the UK. So I have digressed slightly from my spicy chilies. Have 20 seeds of them arriving.
Nice, I think you'll enjoy them, they sometimes have a faint heat level which is perfect
Paradiscum Alaku Sarga Szentes Pepper is a nice bell pepper to grow.
I grow giant "Aconcagua" banana-type sweet peppers in zone 6, ... but need to start them indoors so thatthey can gain max. bush size. .
Love these & they get huge fruit!
Huge fan of Nardello. Also love Poblano which is our bell pepper substitute. Easy to grow, and is far more prolific (in the PWN zone 5b)
Loved this video thanks
Thank you; this is helpful.
Yum! I love sweet peppers!
Thanks for this
Our pleasure, hope it helps
I've been growing Jimmy Nardellos for a few years, and last year I also had luck with Lesya peppers. But the one I'm raving about now is the Mad Hatter pepper. I had three plants that became absolutely massive last year - one was so large and laden with fruit that I had to tie the tall tomato cage I was using to support it to my fence posts with rope to keep it upright.
I'm a fan of all kinds of peppers. Thanks for sharing
I like the non spicy baccatum chilli peppers.
Any specific varieties you'd suggest? Most of the baccatums we have grown have had at least some heat to them
We live in mId Central Illinois and Big Bertha and Big Jim. Big Jim is good but 1 in 10 is spicy but can be nice. Time bomb we are done with. Love the cow horns Italian peppers.
Great channel, keep it up. We plan on growing several peppers this year.
Thanks for this content
Absolutely, thanks for being a subscriber for over a year!
Thank you for your plant saving video. My 3yo lunchbox pepper is hanging out waiting for spring again. I love growing Aji Chachuca & Aji Dulce because of their upright/bushy growth habit. I combine them with Lemon Drops to make Aji sauce at a heat that my family can stand.
I love the Ajis! Most are too hot for me, unfortunately, but I love your idea of mixing with Aji Dulces in a sauce. I've haven't been successful at growing the Dulces, yet (2 tries and counting).
Very great video! Very well delivered and right to the point. Thank you for sharing Peter Piper picked a pack of pickled peppers!
Thank you for this video, and for the info about your kits on bootstrap farmer! I snagged two kits just now. This will only be my second year gardening and I want to plant in ground this year and see how that goes. I am excited to start seedlings soon!
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Thanks!
Thanks so much for the superthanks! Appreciate the support 😄
Giant Marconi and Adjvarski. Both mature to red
I highly recommend the variety Carmen. So sweet, so delicious!
I am also in CT and love growing Jimmy Nardellos! They are fantastic for roasting an pickling.
Nice video and a nice list. I agree with what you said about the Habanada about that there's something missing (and also what someone else said in the comments that they need to fully ripen to taste good). I also agree with the statement about Jalapeño having an awesome taste. I would love to try a Shishito at some point. Also, what variety was growing in the yellow pot? It looked so beautiful 😃
Great list! Happy to see you included Shishito, those are my favorite snacking peppers out of the garden. I have also grilled and stuffed them with goat cheese and made a fermented dipping sauce with them. I want to try some of the others you mentioned.
I'm trying the Jimmy Nardello this year.
love these videos! so informative
Thanks, appreciate it!
My most used pepper is the Cajun bell, bell pepper. I use them in everything.
Informative as always, and again you give me another type that I have to order seeds for.... But all good having a veggie hobby I can eat the evidence.😉
Shishito are my favorite pepper. We grill them, add a dash of salt and a splash of lemon juice and wait to see who gets the hot one!
🎉 love the Content. Haven't had ang from you in a long time.
Thank you 😊 Winter is a slow time for us here in the Northeast - you'll see much more this spring and summer!
May I suggest the Aji Panca. They have a chocolate color with intense sweetness that oddly vanishes after you swallow. I grew in 3 gal pots and they grew over 4 ft tall with good production.
Glad the Carmen worked out for you. That's my favorite but I did have some leaf spot issue where I'm at in North Carolina last year but may have been my seedlings were contaminated. We'll see this year! Can't wait to start again!
I've BEEN WAITING!
Happy to see more content. Thanks for this one.
😬 We'll be publishing more in the spring and summer!
Cannot wait, @@PepperGeek
i love habanda
My peppers got off to a late start last year, but I still had a very good pepper harvest, harvesting right up to frost. The peppers that did the best for me were the Corona di Toro, Big Red (MI Gardener), Hungarian Yellow Wax, Lipstick, and Lesya.With the exception of the Hungarian Yellow Wax, all of my peppers were supported with a single bamboo steak. However, the Corona di Toro grew very tall-over six feet tall. They were my best producer, producing several peppers large enough to stuff. The Big Red grew to be as its name implies, a large bell pepper that is perfect for stuffing.
I like the Thunderbolt and Big Daddy sweet peppers as well.
Jimmy Nardellos live up to the hype - highly recommend!
I highly recommend trying Australian Broome Chilli if you can get a hold of some seeds. It's a great chilli for snacking on.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing your favorites with us 👍
I love Carmens. They were very cold tolerant for me in zone 7b!
Thanks for all of your great content here and on Geeky greenhouse. I'm growing the Majestic red bell pepper for the first time and noticed you had a cage around yours. I just have a pretty sturdy stake in mine. Should I get a cage instead?
Just got my seeds for my experiment peppers, this year. They're all spicy varieties...Datil, Puma, Thai Red Chili, and Kalugeritsa.
Puma is one of my favorites! The ultimate edible ornamental. They have a citrusy hint that makes them distinctly different than your basic orange Habs. I just with They made a better sauce color when pureed lol. You might also like CGN21500. Pepper Geeks wrote about it in their blog a few years ago and I have been growing them since. They are more productive than the Cheiro Roxa types, and make a great sauce filler (though less distinctive flavor than Puma). ❤
I ate exactly one Puma and was not prepared for that heat 😅
@@cowsagainstcapitalism347 Thanks for the warning.
Every year, I like to get a few packs of stuff I've never tried to grow, just to see how it does, etc.
Last year, I had several hot pepper types, but I think that having the haze from the Canadian wildfires almost all summer long, stunted their growth because they barely produced any peppers, last year. Ghosts, scorpions, cayenne, jalapeno, poblano, and anaheims...no difference.
Great video! I saw on your site that you recommend spider sf600 lights for starting pepper seedlings inside and was wondering if I should hang it closer while using a germination dome? Thanks so much
Eros and Cupid are great mini snacking red and orange bell peppers, i also like the lunch box mix of snacking mini peppers that come in red yellow and orange (i think i got both from Johnny seeds.)
Grew all of them in PA last year and they were extremely prolific and great healthy plants didnt even get any sunscalded fruits.
My all time favourite is the Corno Rosso variant, lots of yield and super sweet...
Four peppers that I grow along the side of my house in three gallon buckets (available from Menards) that I highly recommend are Just Sweet, Chablis, Gypsy and Hungarian Cheese (available from Seeds 'N Such).
My favorites sweet peppers are Cornito Giallo hybrid (yellow when mature), Blot Pepper (Baker Creek), and Lunch box pepper. Was still harvesting these in November in Georgia this year!
Jimmy Nardello is definitely a great plant! Did well in my zone 7 climate (MD). I usually roasted and even pickled mine.
I love Etiuda bells from Baker Creek. I grow them indoors hydroponically all year long in an AeroGarden. I’m in Alaska and it’s not warm enough in my area to grow them outside even in the summer.
Very fruity and sweetly delicious. Heirloom so save the seeds and grow more!
i just heard of paprika peppers and figured you would have a video on them. I think I was wrong?
My 2 favorite non spicy are sweet sunset banana pepper, and a hybrid bell pepper called early prolific(3 lobbed 55 day to harvest). For me up in Canada with short season these do best with massive harvests.
Good suggestion for shorter season growers, thanks!
Babe wake up, new Pepper Geek vid
I grew Pippin's Golden honey this past season. They have dark foliage and ripen from purple to eventually orange. They have a unique taste and are great in cooking!
I had good luck growing the leysa. I’m growing less bell peppers and more leysa this year. I also love the Jimmy Nardello’s. We cut into 3/4 chunks and eat them on homemade pizzas.
Jimmy Nardello is my grandson's favorite. It will stay in the rotation
Blistered shishito tossed in a tiny bit of teriyaki sauce is super good.
Great video! Any advice on keeping non-spicy from cross-pollinating with spicy peppers?
No one seems to grow Ausilio (has perfect heat), short tidy strong plants, great production & flavor.
Jimmy Nardello is a perennial favorite of mine. They even produce heavily during 100F NTX summers when other plants are experiencing a drop off
I’ve only tried to grow Cal Wonder bells with limited success, down here in the Florida Panhandle. Thanks for the recommendations for subtropical bells. I’ve been looking for a sweet cherry pepper but have had difficulty finding seed. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Edit: I saw the sweet cherry pepper you had listed from Burpee. That’s exactly what I wanted. Gracias!
The Carmen pepper has been my favorite sweet pepper for years. It's getting harder to find seeds. I'm thinking of trying the Thunderbolt this year.
