The Greenhouse of Heat

On this page you can find an overview of the different species of chili peppers I have farmed over the years and some numbers on the harvest I had for a given year. Do note that numbers can vary substantially based on the weather conditions, so a direct comparison between different years might not always be possible or representative. The numbers mentioned in the table below give an indication of the average number of peppers I harvested per plant, the number of plants for each variety might differ from year to year.

The chili peppers are sorted from hot to mild and for each variety a small picture is included.
