So I just got done planting peppers for the garden. I had
some success last year with growing peppers from seed so this year I really
went for it. For starters I did go with a red bell pepper and it’s the biggest
pepper start I have. I know BORING! Here’s the good stuff: I’ve got some Jimmy
Nardello’s peppers started. These are typically fried with onions and sausage
for sandwiches.
I’ve also started some Jalapenos. I chose a species that is
not so hot but makes up for it with an improved flavor profile.
The Atris Hybrid is an Italian bullhorn type pepper. These
are also typically fried but they’re sweet enough to use like a regular bell
pepper.
I love pickled peppers and I’ve planted a ton of cherry
peppers to take advantage of this. I first experimented with pickling last year
and I’ve been surprised and excited by how easy it is to get some fantastic
pickles.
Finally I’ve planted some Count Dracula peppers. I don’t
know what they taste like and I don’t care. These are coolest looking peppers
ever. The leaves of this pepper are a deep jet black. Purple flowers turn into
black peppers. The peppers turn a blood red color when ripened. I can’t wait to
see these!
I’ll have pictures when there is something to show off. Till
then!
