r/Peppers

...looks like the day before's. I've pickeled, dried, candied, jarred all I can and most of them are too hot for my crowd. Still feeling glorious!

This little stubby guy has been like this for about a month and doesn't seem to be getting any bigger. The rest of the plant has little flowers and multiple flowers have just fallen off. Do I harvest this one or keep leaving it alone? This is my first jalapeño plant. Tips greatly appreciated

I will add more info in a comment so I can do it on my PC.

Grew from seed, somewhere along the way the ID tag I made was lost. Went back to my seed packs and the closest looking to this that I'm growing are lemon drops. I took a bite of one, and it was like I was slapped across the face immediately. Scorching heat throughout my mouth, with throat burn. I'm typically a medium/hot to hot curious guy so was pretty caught of guard. The lemon drops haven't been this hot for me so I'm clueless on what they could be. The plants are very prolific with fruit hanging down. They go from green to yellowish to this burnt orange almost red color

I grow boonie peppers but there seems to be different varieties coming up in my garden ? Any suggestions? They are hot little peppers I admit.

Do these change colors when ripe or stay green

I noticed that all of my cherry peppers were starting to rot and fall off of the plants before turning ripe, after looking closer and cutting into a couple I found these worms or maggots eating them from the inside and causing rot. Does anyone know what these are and what I can do?

The grow tag only says red chili pepper but I’ve never seen them so small before. For a family who, besides myself, can barely handle spice we have a ton of these growing (three plants in total!). Is the best thing to do is dry them when they start turning red? I don’t want them going to waste.

And why the hell is it only my jalapenos? I have a raised bed with habanero, red bell, gypsy bell and serranos. I've lost a few habanero but not to this degree.

I know I over planted the bed again, but they are doing wonderfully.

Hello there, first summer trying to grow peppers (a few diff varieties) and every plant has leaves that are crumpled and curled. I'm in SoCal and growing them in raised beds. I had a couple of shishitos earlier with the same prob and added some blood meal to the soil but they didn't make it, so I thought I'd try some bells peppers instead. Everything else in my garden is doing well (tomatoes, cukes, squash, etc) except every kind of pepper I've tried (ignore all the cages, my dog wants to dig into any blood meal I use). We've had some very warm weather here the last few weeks but still...any ideas, anyone? Thanks!

I’ve got a few jalapenos that are on the small side that have been corking for a while. I’ve had a few dozen grow a lot bigger than these ones without any corking so I’m wondering if I should wait for these to grow more or if this is as big as they are likely to get.

Edit: I’m not asking if I should let them turn red. I’ve been going for a mix of green and red because I like both. I’m asking if these have stopped increasing in size because they are quite a bit smaller than a lot of other ones that weren’t corking.

This year so far
