Started harvesting the habaneros out of the garden, weather made them really really hot this year. Nice crop with excellent smoke flavor and a heck of a lot of heat.
First year raising pimento, man do these little plants produce serious fruits! 10 to 14 pimentos on each plant, just starting to finish in perfect red!
Anyone else raising the peppers out there?

I have an incredible batch of habs this year. I've always heard they like hot, dry weather, which is exactly what we had. I picked a lot 2 weeks ago, made jelly and salsa. I'll have another batch to pick this weekend. Because of the shear quantity I had, I tried freezing some for the first time. Even our regular green peppers are still producing.
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.

Not a good year for peppers for us. I only grew jalapenos this year and bell peppers. Last year was a great year - even froze some - not this year. I am still struggling to get my tomatoes to ripen!
