I ordered two Fooled You Jalapenos from Burgess. Also ordered two “Vine Peaches”. Here is info. on Vine Peaches:

“The same size, color and food value as tree peaches. Vine Peaches make excellent preserves and pies, and have a vine-ripe flavor and texture much like a mango. It's an easy plant to grow, with fruit maturing on spreading vines in about 80 days.”

The “peaches” is just an experiment to see if they make and what they are like if they do.

Yesterday, I ordered pepper seed and later when their plants are ready, will buy some other peppers that are for containers. Ordered these seeds:
Pepperoncini Greek Organic
Sweet Golden Baby Belle
Sweet Banana

I can keep plants from freezing here since we only have a few days each winter that are below freezing and that is usually just during the night for a few days. It was warm last winter, not much winter.

We love sweet banana peppers on sandwiches and burgers. We grew a few last year. They are also good with others in pepper sauce.

We planted those vine peaches one year. They are a native plant that the indians used a lot. Ours were very bland, but we did find a few recipes.

They are actually a relative of cantaloupes.

HAH! When I bought those, they were sold as "Cucumber Melons". They taste something like a honeydew....or at least some of them do.I planted several seeds around a shady tree out front, and they grew up the tree and produced a lot of sweet, melon-flavored fruit. The ones I plants in my greenhouse tasted like cucumber.
Yep, all out of the same package.
