- You asked for it so here it is, all the peppers that I am starting from seed this year (yes I might buy some seedlings on the side haha). I love peppers and recently have enjoyed growing even more than tomatoes! I have a pretty nice lineup this year and I can't wait to get cooking with all of these different varieties.

I appreciate you having the name printed. It’s so much easier to write down instead of guessing the spelling and not being able to find CB it anywhere!
The doggos running around in the background are awesome.
Come for the 🌶 🫑 , stay for the 🐕🐕.
Came here to say the same thing!
I definitely would not trust my doggo in my garden while I'm doing anything delicate like seed-starting! She's way too energetic and curious.
So wonderful to see a fellow Bulgarian so passionate about gardening - I am from Svishtov originally but live in Boston for the last 25 years, and have an established vegetable, herb, and berry urban garden. I have not been back for more than 10 years, but would love to get some seeds of vegetables that my grandparents grew in the village back in the day. Thank you for the wonderful channel!
The northern border region of Bulgaria is one of the few regions we haven't spent much time in, mostly because we don't have any family or friends up there but someday I would love to explore that region as well! The produce in Bulgaria has always been the best I have ever ate and it is one of my favorite things about visiting.
@@jacquesinthegarden A beautiful region along the Danube river .. Svishtov, Russe, and near Svishtov also the amazing town of Veliko Tarnovo. I no longer go there, unfortunately (too busy gardening year-round in Boston). Thanks for the great videos, I've learnt a lot!
I live in Canada and it's the first time I hear about February Fire seeds & Small Island co. and it's a game-changer (they're about to take all my money) ! Love your videos as always thanks
As a pepper lover, I loved this video! "Frying pepper" is a term I hadn't heard before, but since I love shishitos, why not others? Going to shop for some of these varieties now! PS loved the dogs and the beautiful nasturtium in the BG.
I really enjoyed the extra info about each of the pepper varieties, and seeing the names on the screen. I'm trying a few new ones this year, several of the varieties are purple, just for fun
I love watching your dogs in the background. Doing their jobs! Please do a video and tell us more about them and their role at your place.
I am growing about 10 different varieties in my 2 properties this year. You can chopped them up and put them in ziplock bags and used them as you please. Love peppers.
Jacque we love you! Thank you for bringing us with you while you garden. Zone 6a here in Ohio so no outside gardening for me quite yet but soon! Very peaceful and informative videos you provide us! Love your dogs too ❤
Your dogs are having a blast!
🎉🎉100K! Congratulations! This is going to be an awesome year in the garden!
Thank you!
I must admit, I often put your videos on in the background because your voice is soothing.
Planted my Solanaceae in trays 14 days ago. 72 cells I’ve had 9 germinate. Under grow lights, but next to a window, and freezing temps at night I think they’re too cold. Will definitely be replanting on my heat mat. Last year I ended up with more tomatoes than I planted so I was more sparing this year too. Made sure only one per cell because I hate cutting them but couldn’t give away all the extras last year.
I planted a ton of banana peppers myself. Germination is... well... non existent here as well. I might actually start more and keep them in a warmer part of my house because I dont think they are having any part of being where they are now.
With a heat mat, my peppers all came in 1-2 weeks. It’s worth it to have the heat mat, especially for peppers.
@@umiluv I have a heat mat as well and I don't think it was enough. Everything else germinated just fine but the peppers the garage is super cold however.
@@paddyotterness - that’s the thing with the heat mat. You have to monitor the seedlings bc they will die on the mat if you don’t get them off of there. I lost one of my pepper plants because I didn’t water it enough as it was sitting on the heat mat.
@@wormulous - yah. I do my peppers inside the house next to a window. The temp next to the window is around 70 during the day and 65 at night. Our HVAC is at 66-68. The heat mat I use raises the temp about 10-15 degrees. Peppers need 80-90F soil temp.
I couldn’t do it in the garage since my garage gets down to the 40s and low 50s in my area in the spring. I’m in zone 7a and it’s currently dropping below freezing this week at night so garage would be way too cold.
planted my first bunch of hot pepper seeds today.. going all out for all the early stuff this weekend. in zone 4b canada
@@paddyotterness had 160 hot pepper plants last year .. have been watching chillichump for 3 years, i like the color and beauty of it all
Wow that is a lot of peppers!
All my peppers stunted so starting over. Thanks for this video. Very timely. And thanks to you I ditched the bells and have a group of others I think will bring more to the table (lol). Love the tip on perlite. Hope that helps this go around.
Most of mine did the same. I think I over watered. It is very warm here in south Texas most days now so I direct sowed a row in a raised bed as an experiment.
Can we please have a Jacques in the Kitchen channel? The way you talk about food is so wonderful!
Congrats on hitting 100K followers. Thanks for all that you share ❤
🎉
Congratulations on 100K subscribers, and you did a great job on the webinar yesterday. I really appreciate today's Pepper video because you also add suggestions on how to cook the peppers. Advice I really need!😊
Awesome, informational video, Jacques! Peppers, and tomatoes, are my most favorite thing to grow, so this was great to watch and take notes for trying varieties you've suggested. Happy growing!
Great topic!
I'm just starting to get over the flu, and this is the second video I've been able to watch all the way through. Never thought a video about peppers would make me hungry, but here we are 😆
Thank you for helping pull me back to life!❤
I need to watch this again. Too busy enjoying your dogs play.
😂
Thank you so much. I need all the help I can get with growing peppers.
Love this! It was hard to find the February Fire pepper. So many Canadian companies would not ship to the US; however, I was finally able to find a company HR seed out of PA. I am so excited to grow so many peppers this year. I appreciate you talking about so many types.
Thanks for another great video. I found your videos after watching Kevins for a while now, and im finding im watching yours more often. Keep going make. You make great informative videos :D
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. You have such a calm nature. I loved all the descriptions of the peppers you gave and why you chose them. I grew quite a few of the same peppers last year. I will definitely grow many more shishito peppers. My friends and I loved them grilled. It was the first year that I grew Biquinho peppers, too. I only had one plant and I wasn't quite sure what to make with them. I'll look forward to seeing updates on your peppers. I live in Rhode Island, so our growing season isn't as long as yours, but the peppers did well last year.
I’m growing a ton of peppers this year. They are my favorite. I’m even growing some Carolina reapers and other hot varieties. I plan on making a hot sauce with the peppers I grow this year. I’m looking forward to it.
Congrats on 100,000 subscribers, Jacques!
🎉 Thank you!
Incredible, definitely going to look for that cold hardy pepper - negative Celsius 🤯 peppers?? !!🌶️ Crazy!
❤ This filming spot is lovely - your door details, the dogs in the background (adorable 🥰) and the lighting with the variegated nasturtiums!
Great video as always!
Awesome! Love your Nasturtiums as well! Can't wait to get my peppers going. We are still under a heavy blanket of snow in Northern Ontario! Love your channel❤
The dogs running around in the background are great.... protectors of the garden!! ❤
This summer when start harvesting it would be
Nice to see some
Of
These recipes jn a video
Will do!
I’m very excited to try some of these varieties! Thanks so much for this video!
I started 18 different pepper varieties this year and I can't wait!!
I love the Chervena Chushka Bulgarian peppers. I have grown them the last 3 years and will always grow them. So versatile and easy to grow. I also always grow the Italia pepper from Seed Savers Exchange as well.
This is so awesome. I'm growing Jimmy Nardello, Golden Marconi this year. I'm also trying one named Corbaci. I'm growing Cubanelles to stuff this year.
Love this and also your happy dogs playing in the background :)
I have always loved growing peppers and have quite an extensive pepper seed collection, my super hot pepper collection alone is over 200 varieties. I love growing them but honestly the only one I really enjoy eating is ghost pepper, and even then it’s dehydrated, ground into flakes and added to dishes very sparingly. My favorite way to eat it is in white chocolate with sea salt added, it’s amazing with the sweet, spice and salt combined. Of the hot peppers that are not in the super hot range scotch bonnet is my hands down favorite. And jalapeño is probably the one I cook with the most because everyone in my family can handle it and enjoys the mild spice it adds. I grow about 12 or 15 jalapeño plants every year to make sure I have plenty for poppers, salsa, and at the end of summer a big batch of cowboy candy.
Lol!!! I loved that you brought pepper seeds from Bulgaria! I do the same every time I go there. I'm actually from a small village by the city of Plovdiv so I had so much fun watching you plant Bulgarian peppers! Your Bulgarian is great! 🙂
That is awesome to hear, we go to Plovdiv every time we visit Bulgaria!
Amazing selection of peppers , nice as always Jock !
Their are so many unique peppers its hard not to grow them all. I love the colorful and fruity peppers.
Congrats on 100k subscribers! Thanks for all the pepper info🤩
Sugar rush peach is one of my favorites. I grew the sugar rush stripey this year. So delicious and beautiful.
Wahhh! I had to slow this video down ALOT and rewind constantly because I kept missing what Jacques was saying. I kept watching the puppies in the background!
Not complaining. I always look for your doggos and love watching them run around.
😆
So many varieties. Love these pepper growing videos
I cannot get over just how many different peppers out there. Out of all the ones you are growing I'm growing 1 of them, the sugar rush peach, lol. I'm only growing 5 different varieties though. I need to find me that candy cane choco strip one though. That sounds interesting :)
Wow! Really excited to hear about the "February Fire" pepper. Who knew anything like that existed?? I'm looking forward to updates from you about that variety.
Great video! I am new to growing peppers. I like that you are into the sweeter spectrum. An excellent range of variety. I am already planning on my harvest for next season. So thank you for your list, gave me a few to write down.
I grow a lot of different kinds of peppers and you introduced me to some news ones here.
I really enjoyed this video!! Very informative! Congrats on the the 100k
You should try the purple bell pepper, it is a really cool looking pepper and adds a great pop of color to salads
This year im growing Pumpkin spice jalapeño, regular jalapeños, Serrano, Bulgarian carrot, purple beauty bell, shishito, padrón, golden marconi, biquinho, poblano, and cayenne. Hopefully this year will get a better yield. Happy gardening!
The Lemon Spice Jalapeñoes are so good! Even when they are still green, the flavor is outstanding! Happy growing :)
That is great to hear, I am looking forward to those!
Nice selection. Couldn't agree more on fried shishitos, I love when you get a nice spicy batch. Have you tried *yellow* scotch bonnets/chinense types? They're my favorite for flavor!
Oh my! Can you please teach us some of these preparations of peppers this summer? Pickled?! In oil with herbs and garlic?! Roasted and stuffed. My gosh I think I want peppers every night. There were so many amazing ideas. I’ve never had much luck with pepper because I’m so un-reliable with watering. I did have a bumper crop of shishitos the one year I grew them. Desert island pepper made me laugh. I agree. Thank you!
Will do!!
Love Jacques recommendations!
Tks for sharing! I'm happy u came up in my feed😊
Awesome video Jaques as always,i love pepper and i grow a tons,just like you said.... scotch bonnet have outstanding flavour 💪👍 very cool varieties to try, thanks!
Ever since i learned that peppers are actually perennials i make it a point to overwinter them (i just leave them outside untill all the leaves fall off, then bring them into my garage with a grow light)
I have a jalapeno plant that is going on 4 years old, and shishitos that are on their second year.
I don't know who started the myth that older pepper plants don't produce as well, cause it's march and there's already more flowers on mine than i can count.
With a little fertilizer and some basic maintenance pepper plants are by far my favorite plants, because they just keep giving.
seriously it's a jalapeno tree at this point, the base of the stem is as wide as a quarter.
YAAAAAAS! Its the pepper video! Thank you!!!!!
Very cool. Enjoy them 🌶
I'm still trying many dozens of pepper varieties each year, promising myself next year I'll stick more to ones I already know and like. I'm growing Chervena Chushka this year, they are big and vigorous so far and I'm looking forward to them. I overwintered a Sugar Rush Peach last year which was highly productive, but in my climate the pods take forever to ripen; if they finally do (without getting brown spots due to too much rain), they are delicious and sweet, I'd estimate them at 50K - 100K scovilles. I particularly like cutting them up and mixing them into salads.
This was so fun. Coincidentally, I will also be growing Jimmy Nardello, Escamillo, Shishitos, and Golden Marconi. Love Marconi's for stuffing. Yum! Like you - I grow for eating raw and cooking purposes; I can only do so much hot sauce. I've grown the Mad Hatter before - and it's a fun pepper. Great producer and best when ripened to red; great for snacking or slicing up in a salad.
Nothing to do with the peppers, but that door in the background is really cool.
We love our Thai Chili plants. They were our most prolific producers last year… we couldn’t keep up! Made lots of chili powder.
I am so glad I saw this video!! I am in northern ontario canada and ya, those cold hardy peppers I NEED in my life!!! LOL thank you!!
Congratulations on reaching 100K subscribers! Make sure you get your CZcams plaque!
Peppers like to hold hands! This year I'm growing Ajvarski peppers for roasting. But I'll always grow Jimmy Nardello Sweets too. No Serranos, though, I have a gallon bag in the freezer.
100K !!!👍 Congratulations! Well deserved my friend. Appreciate your easy to follow presentation style. Very motivating to try new things. Thank you so much! 🤗🫑🌶🫑🌶
I'm so excited to try the February Fire peppers. They should work perfect for our micro climate up here in the CO mountains. Thank you!
Capsicum flexuosum seeds are really slow at germinating. I have a couple specimens here in Canada as well. I grew them like you along side my other pepper seeds and everything came up but the flexuosum seeds. I was about to clean out my tray thinking it was a flop but decided to just leave the seed tray watered in my garden for about several weeks into the growing season and then they finally germinated and sprouted. Don't be discouraged if they seem to not germinate alongside your other peppers! The fruit is oddly sweet, tiny, mildly spicy, but a great ornamental.
Good to know, thanks for sharing!
@@jacquesinthegarden may take a few months to germ indeed!
Very interesting video! I much appreciate the variety Iv'e learned about, and as someone else said, thank you so much for putting up the spelling (non native here😅).
As for the Thai food, you can make some really authentic thai flavours if you use this Trinity: galangal root (I guess you could grow that easily in your climate), lemon grass and caffir lime leaves. Use any type and as many chili peppers as you wish. Mix those up with coconut milk and veggies and there you go. 😉
Yesssss love what I’m growing videos
I absolutely love growing peppers, and your channel has been amazing helper! 🌶🫑❤
Congrats on the 100k! This year I’m growing ajvarski, santaka, aji yellow, several colors of cayenne, and an eBay buy that MIGHT be erjiantao
We need a Jacques in the Kitchen show where you teach us all the yummy ways to prepare our garden veggies. :)
Shishitos are the bomb. Wonderful with a few dipping sauces.
Your nasturtium looks great! I planted a dwarf variety & kept wondering why it didn’t look big and beautiful like Jacques & Kevins, duh DWARF 🤪
Best episode ever!!! Thank you 🎉🎉. Ps .. you and Kevin ( the whole Epic crew?) doing a desert island seed video. Now that epic has its own seed company how about starting a Bulgarian seed set? Cheers. Ann
All good ideas, will see what we can do!
I grew 16 bell pepper plants this year (my first year seriously gardening) at first I loved growing them, but then the blossom end rot got so bad, and the peppers were way too small most of the time. So I just ended up frustrated. I use bell peppers in literally EVERYTHING that I cook. So I really want to find a replacement pepper that is more productive, and fun to grow since I use peppers in just about everything I cook. (Cajun from south Louisiana)
Just ordered the February Fire. Thank you. They should do well here in Massachusetts. Also $3 less on the Canadian exchange and free shipping.
My experience with shishitos last year was entirely the opposite, heat-wise, especially as the season progressed. I had 9 shishitos growing in 2lb / 8" containers, and besides being great producers (final count at the end of summer was close to 1100 peppers 👀), the probability of getting a hot one wayyyy increased by the end of summer. I feel like we were getting 40-50% of them as hot at one point. Also doing Sugar Rush Peach this year too! Great video! Lots of things I've never seen.
Wow! It may be that some varieties have a tighter band for not producing hot ones, I have grown the variety "Takara" before and that was quite consistently not hot.
Your dogs are so cute!!
I'm going to try some different styled peppers next Southern Hemisphere summer season. I'm a big fan of the bell peppers but shall try the long sweet peppers. Also gotta say the dogs were stealing my attention!
Your dogs are having a great time behind you. 🤍 Made me smile. Can’t wait to see all your peppers!
I’m growing jalapeño, serrano, Anaheim, ancho poblano, cascabella, Thai, gochu, and shishito.
The cascabella are the spiciest I’m growing I think. They’re the peppers that are pickled that you get when you buy chili burgers from Tommy’s.
Husband loves hatch chiles and those seeds are really hard to find. They are from New Mexico and it’s noted that the Anaheim and Ancho Poblano are hatch chiles so I’m growing both to see lol.
There are no Asian chili or herbs where I live so I have to grow them if I want to eat/cook with them.
I gave the neighbor some pepperoncini seeds and he planted some so we might do some trading.
I got Shishito, Poblano and Serrano too along with 12 others.
You can buy “Hatch” chili seed many places online. But they are not sold as Hatch. The most common one is called “New Mexico No. 6-4”.
15:36 The Mad Hatter is one of my favorites! 😉 5:16 I like totally have to get the February Fire and try it, I live only hours away from Small Island Seed Co.
Great job, thank you!
I have Jimmy Nardelos, Shishito, Tequila Sunrise, Poblanos, Cayenne and fish pepper 🌶️🫑🌶️🫑🌶️
Thanks for sharing ❤
This is a wonderful video
Thank you for the visualization on the dimensions of the escamillo pepper. I got a very clear image in my mind of both the length and girth
🌶
I would need to order those Escamillo peppers. My mom is an Escamilla, just to try them out.
Scotch Bonnet is a staple in my house. You've got a great variety of peppers 🌶 🫑 the Bulgarian varieties sound good think I'll have to speak to my Bulgarian colleagues to see if they can get their hands on some. Congratulations on your YT milestone 👏🏾
Thank you!
Habanero is the most flavorful pepper i've ever grown, so tropical before the spice hits
I have a pepper that I named Pat's pepper. My aunt saved them from a store bought & I grew it. From a hybrid too so I named it after her😂. I've been growing it for 3 years now
Great video. I love to grow chiltepin chilies, they grow like crazy and are small bird love them. It is a hot peper but not a habanero hot, I grow the "wild chiltepin" and we love cooking with them.
I had one going last year that was quite prolific, the tiny peppers are a lot of work though!
Super hot peppers are good for making pesticides.
Peach-A-Dew Pepper is hot, but not crazy hot. They have a gorgeous Peachy color, they're crunchy, juicy and sweet yet deliciously fruity! They're absolutely AMAZING and quite prolific too. I usually don't go past mild peppers but I loved the Peach-A-Dew Pepper so much that I wish I had grown more. This year I have 6 plants started instead on the 2 plants that I had last year. I ususlly share any extra Pepper plants that I have left over but these Peach-A-Dew plants will not be one of them this time around 😂 Definitely keeping this all to myself, lol. Pizza Pepper was another huge hit for me last year. They're the perfect mild pepper! Thick walls, super crunchy, just the right amount of spiciness/low heat but with a smokey green better flavor that's actually much better than than the taste of a standard green pepper. Also prolific and so versatile. Pizza Pepper is the kind of Pepper that you can pick, snack on and savor it right there in the garden and enjoy a small amount of heat without burning your mouth off. I HIGHLY recommend both!
Wow that is quite the name haha, both of those peppers sound amazing though, I will keep my eye out for them
Jacques, I'm curious if you've considered making your own hybrid out of some of your favorites. If you do, I'd love to see a video on it.
I know you said the superhots aren't for you, but I just have to say that pickling serranos with a couple peach ghosts is delicious. I will always grow peach ghosts, if only for this.
hi jacques 🤗
great selection of peppers. can't wait to see your harvest.
i always wondered if anyone saved & planted seeds and ate the produce from hybrid (non-hierloom/non-store-bought hybrid/cross-pollinated) seeds.
somewhere i heard that it wasnt good, or even dangerous to eat produce from mixed/mystery seeds that may have cross-pollinated in the garden. im not necessarily concerned about having true-to-seed produce, i just don't want to get sick. ive saved several tomato, pepper and cucumber seeds from my 2022 garden and will sow them next month. i grow in a small area, so there's a high probability of cross-pollination. tfs
I only know of squash being dangerous to eat if its cross pollinated in an unknown way. From what I know about peppers and tomatoes there is no risk involved with hybrids known or unkown.
