Nice. I hope it holds off. I have not gotten as many peppers as I hoped (planted hundreds of plants) but maybe have had more than I did last year - though not all the chocolate ones I got last year.
One planter stopped draining so I drowned a few accidentally - didn’t notice it wasn’t draining for a couple days - About 2/3 survived but they’re not doing much. Still have 2 others that are going good - if we can last until October or early November (often possible). I’ve got a few that are going in two other planters, mostly 1/2 of a planter mixed in with Jalapeno, Serrano (not sure I’ve seen any yet), Sweet Snacking Pepper (a huge harvest of ONE orange one) mixed in. I I think the Jalapenos took over the box - they may have cross-breeded with the others, lol.
We love our peppers here. A few years ago we discovered shishito and costa rican red. The shishito has a flavor unlike any other pepper and the costa rican, I highly recommend it. Horn shaped, long, sweet and red, thick flesh. We were never able to grow good red bell peppers here but the costa rican is great even in a big planter. The poblanos - we got a 6 pack and they all got big and bore heavily. I have enough sautéed and frozen to last a few years. Won’t be planning them next year.
