I have Orange Habanero seeds and tree habanero seeds. Are you wanting to trade or sasbe? I only want hotter pepper types-(Naga Morich is what I'd like to complete my collection of super hots) if your wanting a trade. I'll give you as many orange hab seeds as you need. I won't give away the tree seeds right now.The birds are eating a lot of my tree peppers right now so I might not have many peppers to get new seeds from. send me mail...

Hi shermthewerm, (great name!) If you have peppers on the Banana Pepper plant already you will almost certainly get them to turn red. They are really pretty and a bit sweeter so worth the wait. I usually get at least a few red ones, although last year was a real dud of a summer. The Anaheims can probably be picked any time they seem full-grown. When the peppers stop getting bigger you can pick them although leaving them on longer will most likely cause the flavor to get richer and hotter. One thing I've noticed with my hot peppers is the variability in heat even from one plant. Many of the early ones are very, very mild (esp. the Jalapenos) but occasionally one scorches. A little maturity and stress, such as witholding some (not all) water helps. Part of the excitement I guess ;-)

I'm a wuss, I like a little heat but I don't want the enamel on my teeth to bubble. My husband has already completely burned off all his taste buds, so the hotter the better for him, LOL. That said, I don't want hot peppers in everything. I love Linda Lou's sweet pickles and my Grandma's sweet relish and would never consider adding hot peppers of any kind. I'll often make two batches of dill pickles, one with hot peppers for the hubs and one plain for my Grandson. I love a bit of Habanero Gold on a bagel with cream cheese but wouldn't add hot peppers to strawberry or grape. I do have about a dozen jars of pickled jalapenos that will probably get dumped out this year, they're a couple of years old and no one eats them at all, on anything. Annie

I have a feeling the pepper you have is not unbearably hot. If you want, try a mature green one and try one that's coloured and decide for yourself. If you want something spicy get one of these. Very flavourful and spicy. I also had my first chocolate scotch bonnet from my garden yesterday. It smelled great.... But it might be a habanero... Usually the Habs I buy in stores have a chemical smell. Anyways, I made stuffed peppers (homegrown bells)... Stuffed it with rice and ground beef... Some fresh garlic sliced up, onion, some seasonings and of course the chocolate hab/scotch bonnet. One of the best stuffed peppers I've had!
