Until I saw many folks talking about shishitos on the garden thread this year, I had never heard of them before. I do not recall seeing the plants where I buy small plants in the spring, but then I’ve never looked for them either..

Thanks for the seed link. I might try them in a pot (or maybe more than one pot) next year. They are pretty prolific & I hate to waste produce so I won’t plant more than 1 or 2. I did find the peppers (ready to use/blister, etc) at a farmers market for $1.99 a small clamshell container. I almost bought some, but they only took cards at the outside produce stand & I had cash - too lazy to walk inside & pay 🙄

Tou’ll love shishitos. In a pot they will do great if it is big enough, like big enough for a single large variety tomato plant. They will need lots of water. I have two in two pots, One is double the size I would get in the garden and I have had plenty of shishitos to eat and chop/saute/freeze to add to dishes.
