Planted 4 different types of peppers, jalepeno (which this obviously isn't), sweet chili, banana, and thai chili... I have a long and skinny one on another plant so i think that is the thai chili... So sweet chili or banana?? I had a sheet that showed me where I planted them, but it has gone missing. Also, cant remember if I may have actually planted 5 types of peppers instead of four.

eta: they are about 3-4 inches long

Doesn't look like a banana. They tend to be more yellowish and slender

yeah that's what I was thinking, so maybe a sweet chili pepper?

when I google them, nothing really specific comes up, but that's what the packet said..

I'm thinking banana. Sweet chili is usually a little longer/skinnier but peppers present in so many different shapes and sizes so it's hard to tell based on your unfocused picture. Also, clip your old marigold blooms and get the damn Cutter off your grill - you trying to poison yourself?

so if it is a banana pepper, it will turn more yellow correct?

all my banana peppers are skinnier and generally curl...

I don't think that is a banana pepper

It will turn a slight yellow-green, but it won't be straight up yellow.

use them in salsa, make pepper sauce, use them in place of bell peppers, etc

I also like drying extra peppers to make my own spice mixes

I dehydrated some jalapenos and smoked them to make dry spice. Adds good flavor but a little goes a very long way and sticks with you through the next day.

I think the sweet chili packet was a variety pack or something with different varieties of them. This is my first garden, so I dont have a clue what anything is
