Hello all. Just rejoined the list.  Was a member for a while when I was
living in Japan. Have now moved to DC and when I had problems with my
peppers I knew just where to come.
Planted Habeneros, Jalapenos, Cayennes, and Banana Peppers.  The
Habeneros were late in getting started so haven't tried them yet.  The
Cayennes came out great and were so productive that the plants had to be

tied up.
My banana peppers and Jalapenos have been extremely
productive....However. The flavor has been off. Both have had a very
grassy taste and the Jalapenos have failed to develop any heat. The
banana peppers were better once I started leaving them until they turned

red and got sweeter but still taste a little grassy.

Anybody got any suggestions on what I should do to try and improve them
for next year?

Thanks Charles Weddle
