Pepper Plants

Pepper Plant Update:

Ok, my pepper plants finally have started to bear fruit...and by fruit, I mean peppers.  Yeah!    Ok, let's go mild to hot.

Bell Peppers are pretty tall, but thin.  Could put 2-3 plants in a big pot next year.  Bad production this year but I hear that from other people.  So far only three green peppers, lots more flowers.  We shall see how lo g it stays warm enough to keep going.

Sweet cherry pepper plants look cute, like tomato pepper mixes.  The plants are medium sized, prob 3 to a pot.  I have 4 green ping pong sized peppers now.  They can ripen to red so I will leave them alone for a bit as long as it doesn't get too cold at night.

Banana Peppers love the pot.  I got three full pickling batches out of my gangbusters pot.  Nada out of the ground and fence one.

Big Chili produced three giant peppers.  Plant is medium sized, not too bushy.  Prob 2-3 in a pot.  Scoville 400-700.

Hungarian Wax gave me two peppers.  Plants never got big, could have put 5-6 in a pot easily.  SHU 5000-10000

Jalapenos produced a handful.  Plants are small, 5 to a pot next year.  SHU 35000-10000

Long red cayenne are super skinny, got three.  These plants were skimpy, they were abused heavily by my dogs.  I would prob try 3-4 in a pot next year.  SHU 30000-50000

Hot Thai are super cool.  Plants are medium sized and grow bunches of skinny peppers in the joints of branches.  So far I have about 15 and more should grow.  Maybe 3 to pot next year.  SHU 50000-100000

Caribbean Red apparently are my hottest plants.  They are little low plants that were dog abused so I am not sure how they would actually do.  I only got one off the fence plant.  Would probably put 4-5 in a pot.  SHU 120000-400000

Would not hang them upside next year.  Pots seem to be the way to go.
