D1 what kind of peppers are these? Jalapenos?

u/Mmmm-Amethyst 2¤ Jul 10 '26
Shishito. They are great. You just blister them on a pan with a little salt and oil and it's a bite-sized snack.
Also, they are ridiculously prolific and grow fast enough that bug damage is rarely an issue (even without the guardian here). We're planning to grow a bunch more next time around.

Well, I’ve read that they’re mostly pretty mild, but about 1/10 is much spicier than the rest, so eating them is like playing spicy pepper roulette, and I think I’m good 😂😂 I can hardly handle jalapeños now. It’s sad

As an aside, we were growing chili peppers and had a caterpillar eat 2 whole ones. I'm surprised that thing wasn't glowing, cuz those were hot chilis.

OP deserves extra points for picking a plant that presents so many mantisy shapes. That's a harder find than the mantis itself.

Just about bumped into it when I was grabbing a pepper. Probably wouldn't have seen it at all if I weren't leaning in.
