Pepper Report

Last night, we used one of our first hot peppers in a stir-fry. It was delicious! It’s an Orange Fogo, which I thought would be blistering hot. I was completely wrong. It’s only about 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville units. (Habaneros are between 100,000 and 350,000; Jalapenos are 2,500 to 5,000; Bell peppers are 0.)

We have 3 Orange Fogo plants. One has about 30 peppers on it, the second has about 15 and the third has 5.  Glad our most prolific will be delicious!

✓ Orange California Wonder Pepper - 0 Scoville Units
✓ Gypsy Pepper (Hybrid) - 0 Scoville Units
✓ Corno di Toro Pepper - 1 to 1,000 Scoville Units
✓ Orange Fogo Chili Pepper - 1,000 to 5,000 Scoville Units
✓ Fish Pepper 5,000 to 30,000 Scoville Units
✓ Rooster Spur Pepper 5,000 to 30,000 Scoville Units
✓ Chocolate Habanero Pepper - above 30,000 Scoville Units
✓ Red Mushroom Pepper - above 30,000 Scoville Units
✓ Scotch Bonnet Pepper - above 30,000 Scoville Units

In other growing news, we've harvested several Gypsy peppers, some orange fogos, a pint or two of sungolds, blueberries, a ton of basil, some malabar spinach and a couple eggplants!  I am loving this year's growing season.  It's good to know which things have the best success rates!

Awesome Thai Orange Fogo Plant!
