What is everyone growing this year?

This year I'm growing chiltepin, habanero, pablano, gochugary, and Thai.

The chiltepins are tiny but I really love them. I'm hoping to get enough this year to pickle a small batch.

I’m growing my hot sauce collection in the fridge. Requires no water or attention.

But seriously I might do habaneros
- Hot sauce is like watering your food with your peppers.
I’d love to grow gochugaru at home. 👀
- There are seeds for sale online! I actually found some plants for sale at a community garden event.
  
  Oh I don’t doubt it! It’s just hard to grow here in Sweden. I’d need a bunch of extra equipment.
This year I mostly just grow from seedsof last year. I started this year's ago. Original seed were from a spirale chilli bought in Turkey, obviously a hybrid. 4 years later they are basically just Cayenne, but tastes great. It is probably a mix of the original spirals and some other peppers i had during that time.

So, this year only 1 Tabasco and 3 Cayenne of my own brand. I have too many tomatoes and cucumbers for more than 4 peppers this year.
Just chiltepin here. I grow them for the mockingbirds, but I enjoy crunching on them while I'm out in the garden.
- That's great that the birds like them. Maybe they've unknowingly planted a few!
  
  Oh they absolutely have. Birds can't taste capsaicin, so it's the plant's "strategy" to get its seeds dispersed far and wide.
Got some aji parapita seeds, we'll see how it goes since the last seeds (carolina reaper) I bought none sprouted.
