Hi,

This year I decided to grow some peppers and I have a few questions..

I have 2 types of peppers growing. *Small red bell peppers and also
Cayenne peppers. *I already picked one of the little bell bell peppers
and it was extremely hot!!! *I accidentaly touched my eyes after
eating it and my eyes were burning.

The little bell peppers seem to be turning red pretty quickly but the
Cayenne peppers are still green.

Do I need to wait until the Cayenne peppers turn red? *I have some
really big ones going now but they are all green.

Also, any ideas on what to do with the little bell peppers as far as
cooking would be appreciated. *I was thinking of making a Fradiavlo
sauce with the Cayenne peppers but I guess I could put the bell
peppers in as well since they are so hot.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Steve

Bell peppers are not supposed to be hot...
How much water did you give them?

Hmmm...

Maybe I got the name wrong. *These are little peppers about the size
of a half dollar maybe.

I water pretty frequently.

lol Bell peppers get to be about 4" or so across and tall.

Wonder if you grew Habaneros? Those (aka "Scotch bonnets") are one of
the hotter peppers!

For mild peppers, I prefer anaheims. They are great stuffed and made
into chili rellenos.

Most hot peppers get fed to my cockatoo. She loves them and they are a
great source of vitamin C for her.

OK, I looked at a bunch of pictures online and I'm almost positivie I
grew cherry peppers. I also grew Cayenne peppers right next to the
cherry peppers.

They are quite hot but it's really the seeds that are the hottest. I
haven't sampled the cayenne's yet because they are not red yet. I
guess they take longer.

Kind of fun growing something different this year.

Still not sure what I'm going to do with them but Fradiavlo sauce
seems like a good idea.
