What have people done well with outside this year in general? Not interested in mad heat particularly but a handful of random varieties across the spectrum would be fun.
Hungarian Hot Wax did well outside for me.

Pretty sure I’ve got one of those, certainly have some in a random seed mix.
Characteristics I like:
-tall plants over low and bushy
-thicker flesh
-stuff that looks weirdOur cayenne and jalapeño def didn’t do so well so not fussed about them next time.
We mostly use our chillis for making sauces with(and dried some this year) and sweet peppers tend to go into pasta dishes etc.
My partner would not be impressed if I started cooking with anything hotter than a couple of those skinny red ones in the picture above but interested in what other flavours are out there… something smokey as opposed to burny would be nice.Just had a look through Devon Chilli Farm site. Exciting and overwhelming but certainly looks like a lot of their offerings are at the fuck off hot end of the scale.
Next year:
-Hungarian hot wax
-Facing Heaven
-?

This is kinda what I was expecting to hear! Perhaps I’ll dig up the tree that appears to produce those slim green ones non stop.
With saving seed I kinda assumed that as I had a bunch of varieties nearby the characteristics of the next generation would be a bit random due to cross-pollination?
Struggled a bit with sweet peppers again this year, any advice for a reliable fleshy number that’ll grow outside? Long sweet peppers def do better than bell ones for us so far.
