I like to grow hot peppers because they do well for me. As far as eating them, I can't take the heat of the hottest ones. The heat does not seem to bother the birds at all. The hottest I can handle is a cayenne. My favorites are milder like super chile, serrano, carmen, cubanelle, anaheim,pepperoncini, Hungarian Wax, and Shishito peppers. I ate a tip of a bhut jolokia a couple of weeks ago to id it and my mouth burned for half an hour and it made me tear up. I think I will remember what plant that one is even without a label now.

Yes, thank you for that chart. I didn't see Big Jims listed, but maybe they come under the heading of Anaheims. They look similar. I've found them to be a milder hot pepper, and they've been pretty prolific for me.TomatoNut95 wrote:Thanks for the pepper chart, @SQWIB! Wow, it's amazing not to mention scary as to how hot some peppers are. My uncle commented one time, 'there's peppers out there that'll put you in the hospital'!
