Deker 3,453 Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I have never grown any peppers before but came by some seed, (not out of a packet) the result is 4 healthy plants all bearing lots of peppers. Problem is I don't have a clue what peppers these are (I don't think they are any of the hotter types), I don't know what they are called, I don't know anything about the colour (all green at the moment) I don't know what shape they will be and I don't know when they will be ready to pick. Pics attached, the largest is about 6" or 150mm. Can someone please give me a layman's guide and hopefully tell me the type of peppers they are, the web has not been that helpful. Cheers!

Baldcoot 2,352 Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Can be vaugely mild to blow your socks off ,if your not a hot hot eater dont use the seeds in your food .Not as hot as Jalapeneos but can still be bad to the unwary enjoy in a nice caserole or stew or like my mrs in a salad for a kick atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 5,945 Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I grew some sweet banana peppers last year and the kids loved them, the plant I grew this year from the same place was meant to be the same variety and the peppers looked the same but that's where the similarities ended. My eldest girl bit one in half to eat it and then screamed the place down and puked everywhere for the next half hour Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deker 3,453 Posted September 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Just picked this, I have no idea if its ripe and haven't even cut into it yet, frankly the only reason I picked it was because the plant was leaning a lot (I have loads of peppers on the plants). Is it any help confirming type of pepper? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,578 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 I don't recon it's ripe till it's red or possibly yellow or orange mate. Still think it's a Romano type Deker. Put Romamo Peppers into Google images see what you think. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLATTOP 3,659 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Hi Deker it could be an Hungarian hot wax they can be various colours yellow green red I believe, there not that hot people put them in stews salads etc they look very healthy, I’m growing some habanero at the moment nice and hot but I doubt they will be nothing like the Trinidad scorpions I grew last season which were insanely hot.
