Pappy Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 For some reason the peppers realy took off this year. I have tons. here is one of them. Don't mind the floor I am remodeling and ripping up the carpets and some of the sub floor to make it flat and putting down bamboo.

mollycan Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Beautiful! My tomatoes were fantastic this year...4 plants and about 100 tomatoes so far and not a bad one among them! dyna99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 My tomatoes plants were huge but they did not produce much. I believe that pepper was a King Authur and didn't feed them anything. I use mushroom compost and thats it. If they grow they grow if not well there is always next year. I go out and look at the garden but I do not use any chemicals. Heck I dont even like weeding so I put weed barrier down. It may have been the pool water LOL A hose broke on my pool and I lost all the water down to the return nozzle. it flooded my garden the pepper area anyway. I thought for sure everything would die off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Petee I went out to the garden to see exactly what those ones were. Either King Authurs or Aristotle. They are all big so not sure where we picked that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petee Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 If one produces better then let me know and I'll add them to our pepper growing list for the spring plant sale. We grew California Wonder (which is what most people want), Keystone Resistant which Penn State developed for our area and Big Dipper which gets huge but is persnickety! We tripled the number of peppers we grew and still found them all homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 The Aristotle's seem to grow more per plant and the King Authurs are a wee bit larger. I have around 100 pepper plants. Think next year I will plant more of those two and less banana styles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petee Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I'm going to ditch the California Wonders and Big Dippers once our seed is gone and will try the ones you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ickywood Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Never knew there were so many kinds of peppers.......I just thought they were all just GREEN!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmoopie11 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Very nice! Great job! I head out to a local Amish farm on Saturdays for fresh veggies for the family and they have huge green peppers there as well, 3/$1. Must have been a good season for them!

lavender Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Never knew there were so many kinds of peppers.......I just thought they were all just GREEN!!! Peppers come in green, yellow, orange, red, brown and purple. They come in all sorts of different shapes from the block form shown in the picture to long ones with a spiral twist. I'm growing some of the latter this year. That is just sweet peppers. The hot ones have even more shapes. Some years one thing grows better and some years it is another. The summers seem to be getting warmer and peppers and eggplants are doing better. Alas, some of the cole crops have suffered from the added heat.
