Habaneros, scotch bonnets, primotaliis, and habanadas. It's been a fun season, only have maybe a couple of weeks or so before the nights become too cold here in 5b, but I'm really enjoying the last few colorful harvests before it ends.
These are all grown from seeds from Bohica pepper hut. Grown in containers (9 of them) on my concrete patio ranging from 12" to 30". Pot size made a difference but keeping up with fertilizer and water on the smaller containers still produced a lot of decent sized peppers (just had to do it a lot more often than the bigger containers). Soil was a mix of big box store ingredients with organic fertilizer added throughout the season. Also used a water soluble fertilizer every so often when watering. Containers were mulched with wood chips. Didn't have many pest problems this season, fortunately their natural predators took care of them. Sun exposure was around 8 hours full sun; morning shade and afternoon to evening full sun.

Congratulations. That’s a bountiful harvest. Don’t you just love the anticipation and dread that comes with the first frost? Mid-November to early December in 9b.
Are there varieties of scotch bonnets that don’t turn red but stay a bright yellow
Made a mistake in the description. In zone 6b, not 5b.
