Third year for this cayenne variety. In my garden, they produce large and hot with a surprise sweetness. I like to dry them and use them through the year.

Grew these last year for the first time. Oddly they seemed to produce more and turn red faster as we headed into fall in the Northeast. After I dried them, I put them in the blender to make my own red pepper flakes. The smell alone had me craving a slice of cheese pizza to sprinkle it on! Will be a staple in the garden from here on!
