Peppers I am starting from seed, tomorrow, inside, in my grow light rack:

'Gourmet.' Green to orange, sweet bell:

'Pretty N Sweet' decorative type, but produces nice peppers. Sweet.

'Mellow Star Shishito.' My first try with t his type, but so many here rave about it, I had to give it a go. Not too hot, though can have a rouge hot one in the mix at times.

Big Red. Got this last year as a 'freebie' from Jung's and it was a HUGE producer with really big, thick-walled peppers and as sweet as your Grandma. ;)

'Baron.' This will be my third year growing this pepper and production was amazing. Sweet bell.

The reds can all be harvested at the green stage too, so I'll have both to use in my Salsa and V-8 Juice, etc. I will also be buying ONE Jalapeno-type. Not worth it for me to buy seed for just one plant. We don't like things hot, but I do like to make Poppers, and I do sneak one into each batch of Bloody Mary Mix ;)

Shishito - my favorite pepper. Compact plants and heavy bearers. Still have some chopped up lightly sauteed in olive oil then frozen in small baggies, then in groups in a quart ziploc. Handy to use in a lot of ways, omelettes being the favorite.
