Peppers have always been one of the most popular vegetables in the home garden. Growing pepper plants is easy. Sweet bell peppers, and many hot peppers, are native to Central and North America. A wide range of hot pepper varieties are also native to Asia, most notably Thailand and China.
It used to be that any grower who liked peppers, would plant several sweet green bell pepper plants in their garden. Several weeks later, they would harvest some great tasting fruit. There were no difficult decisions about the variety.
Today's gardeners have the opportunity to select between a tremendous array of choices. You can pick sweet or hot. When it comes to hot, there are varying degrees of heat. The debates rage, as to which variety is the hottest pepper. Varieties from Mexico, China and Thailand are the hottest to be found.
You also get to select color. There are a wide variety of colors to choose from, versus the "plain old green" ones, which were the only choices your parents and grandparents had to choose from. There are a number of yellow, red, and orange colors. There is even a variety with a striking purple color.
