Right now, mine is Aji Habanero!

Mine is: "Dulce de Espana"

Hinkelhatz!! It makes a wonderful fermented hot sauce!!

Habanero for me because they are relatively cheap where I live.
Non hot would be Pablano/Ancho.

I have not yet found my perfect pepper. I do like eating a nice sweet bell, but they don't produce worth a darn for me- about 1-2 fruits per plant. I tried Ajvarski this year because it was supposed to be productive, but it gave me about 3-4 per plant. I grew Bishop's Crown hot peppers for DH & they produced hugely and he loves them. I'm still trialing peppers, but this year no new sweets for me.

Anaheim, then Poblano. I like annaheim for salsa and Poblano for stuffing. I have found most Jalapenos for a while with very little heat, including the ones I have grown.

My favorite one if I can only pick one is the Jalapeno that at least most of us can buy at the grocery store. They cost about five cents each here fresh. A big can of pickled jalapenos costs around a dollar.

Just had another post disappear. I used to love jalapenos until they seemed to breed all the heat out of them.

Chichimeca F1 jalapeno when red. Early to ripen, large size, taste good and one of the hottest jalapenos I've had. Love the crisp crunch of jalapenos and usually don't get overpowered by the hot but still hot enough to get your attention.

Bahamian Goat pepper. A good habanero type pepper.

I grew Aji Rico this past season for the first time and it became my new favorite. A different flavor than most, crunchy and medium-low heat. The only negative was the huge, sprawling, spreading plant that I had to cut back a number of times.

Giant Marconi for all-purpose sweet, either green or red, and the best for the grill.

I forgot the Chili de arbol.
Much better than the Cayenne peppers more flavor less heat.
Cheaper than dirt where I live.

Jamaican scotch bonnet. Hot but with a wonderful spicy distinct Jamaican flavor. Yellow, squashed mushroom shape. Don’t have any decent seeds right now. I wasted most of my old seeds trying to get them to sprout.

Nan, Someone I know who lives out on a small island grows one called 'fat n sassy' that is productive in our climate. Here's a random link http://www.reimerseeds.com/fat-n-sassy- ... ppers.aspx

I grew sugar rush peach and loved it. Prolific, hot with slight citrus. I also like a pepper from Fedco called Jaluv an Attitude. It has the right heat for my salsa and is a good producer as well. They are good both green and red.

Red ricoto and manzano are fantastic but the devil to grow.
They are everything you ever wanted in a pepper and more when it comes to thick walled hot peppers.
I have stuffed them with sardines mixed up with chopped onions crackers and so on like you would a salmon patty and then baked in the oven.
Unbelievable.
Mango salsa made with them is killer.
Cant say enough good about them.

Thanks for the tip, GrowingCoastal!

Gypsy Hybrid... trust me!

Mammoth hybrid jalapenos from Bonnie plants. I sure wish I could find seed for them. They really get expensive when they are purchased from the Big Box stores. I usually plant ten or fifteen plants. The variety produces abundetly in early summer and fall. Mine are hotter than most jalapenos and much larger. I like them raw on sandwiches and grilled. I really like the appearance of them in the garden standing tall and looking like an over loaded Christmas tree with large, green, shiny; ornaments.

You should try Randy Sine's Evil Jalapeno! It's about as hot as a Habanero. The pods are pretty narrow, though (not suitable for stuffing). At the green stage, they taste kind of like bacon to me. It's an early one.

This company sells seeds, although they only provide 10 to a pack for $3.50. Might be worth it if you can start plants.
