I had to rob some big cages from the peppers to put on tomatoes, and I mostly killed this Cayenne in the process.. It's the first one with red peppers. I have a lot of them, so I might cull it and put a Hatch there.

Did I mention that I had planted too many Hatch seeds? This is my leftover pile. And I culled pretty hard too.

I'm picking a few peppers off the culls I just didn't have the heart to kill. I put them in 2 and 3 gallon pots sunk flush with the ground and run a sprinkler on them {near the orange tree seedlings, so I get them both at the same time} once in a while.

Saved seed Mammoth Jalapeno. They are not quite as long as the real thing, but taste the same.

New Mexico chili in the older pepper pit.

The Habs and The Hab nots. The two Habs to the left are blooming now. The other 6 are Hatch. I need to Google and see if they turn red. Staying green so far.

I had lost control of a kiddie pool full of tomatoes, so I culled some of them and put the rest in the ground. I threw 4 Mini Sweet Peppers in their place. Late as hell, but they didn't come up the first go round, and I have so many kinds of peppers, I didn't think to replant for a while. I have 8-10 more, but these four were the cream of the crop. Will wait to cull them until I see what these do. As far as everyday pepper eating, mini sweets are my favorite. {I've been forced to eat bells in the garden this year}
