These look delicious.
One of my favorite recipe are jalapenos peppers filled with goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes.
Welcome to TEG. How do you prepare these? I love jalapenos and goat cheese.

Steve..I'm so proud of myself, peppers are very hard for me to grow. They usually produce very little. But this year my 2 jalapenos are doing very well. Yet everyone says we had a cool year? I also have a pepper from New Mexico that I think is called something like Hetchy? But that one has only given me 3 peppers. But it beats my eggplant that has only 2!

Mary, the farther north you go in the PNW, the cooler the summer, I think. Until you get to Alaska - then it is back to global warming . . .

Could it be "Hatch" New Mexico?



You can click on the dancing pepper to go there ;).

I like me some thai chilies and cayenne....

Yet, in all these years I've never grown 1 single jalapeno pepper? Yet I buy them!? What's wrong with me?! lol
That's what I do, grow peppers I can't easily find and buy around here, but besides the farmers' markets there is a pretty poor selection the rest of the year at grocery stores, mostly bells, jalapenos, serranos, publanos, serranos and the occasional orange habanero. I do grow jalapenos but I'm letting them get extra ripe. This year they turned from deep purple to deep red, to such a light red that I thought they'd end up pink.

Favorites though, probably chocolate jamaicans and cayennes. The former are such smoky hot goodness in salsa or hot sauce that I get to eat it all myself ;) and the latter are versatile enough to go in anything. By the end of fall I'll be tired of these two and pick something else.

Yes..Steve..those are the peppers from Hatch, NM. You are soooo smart! How did you get that chili pepper to dance? Oh, never mind, I'm not computer literate anyway! :lol:

Here are some hot peppers that do just fine in my garden each year:

Super Chili!

Yes, you can see that I had fun tampering with the photo :p. Not all peppers ripen here. Habanero is an example . . . green right thru the growing season. Well, the immature fruit shows up just before frost and makes it to pea-size/color.

My favorite is now the Gypsy pepper. Bears like a banana pepper but thick walled like a bell.

Altho I hate to lose the jalapeno peppers. I'm now 0-2 years. Most of my plants this year, died. The 2 I finally salvaged, I used too much foliar on and got dark green plants but few peppers or blooms.
