Just wanted to share my first year growing a pepper garden. I used a mix of liquid and granular fertilizer from April to July. I haven’t fertilized or watered them at all in the last 2 months and have seen more growth and more green than ever before. Not sure exactly what to draw from that but overall I think it’s been a successful season. If I were to guess, I’d say I’ve gotten about 10 lbs of peppers so far and probably have another 5 lbs to go before the first freeze. Last time I weighed the lot I had 7 lbs in July.
Varieties are jalapeño, habanero, scotch bonnet, datil, Tabasco, ghost, scorpion, reaper, fatalli, and primotali yellow.
Best performing:
1. Ghost
2. Primotali / scotch bonnet
3. Jalapeño / fatalli
Worst performing:
1. Habaneros
2. Scorpion
3. Reaper / Tabasco / datil (1 datil plant was great. Other 4 were not so great but still produced some yields)

That is a very impresaive garden…
Just a hobby or do you do somethingnwith all the peppers?
Beautiful! Have you ever made Hawaiian chili water? This condiment goes on everything.
Wow 🤩
Do you do anything to make sure no branches end up snapping off due to weight or wind?
