2026 Grow Season: What’s in your garden?

[Alan]

Pepperheads, it’s time to plan the grow season! Are you sticking with classics like habaneros and jalapeños, or experimenting with superhots like Carolina Reapers and Dragon’s Breath?

Share your grow lists, seed sources, and any new hybrids you’re excited to try this year.

I’m working with a tiny apartment balcony, so I’m sticking to compact varieties this year, mostly jalapeños and lemon drops. I’m tempted to try one superhot just for bragging rights though. Do Reapers stay manageable in containers, or do they get unruly?

Last year I grew my first ghost peppers and now I’m hooked on the adrenaline. Thinking about adding Dragon’s Breath to the mix, but I’ve heard they can be finicky. Do they need more heat or just more patience?
