I'm still debating what to try this year.
I have some thai pepper seeds from last year, but this will be the first time I'm gonna try carrying them over so I don't know what's going to happen there.
the wax peppers got picked just before the first frost and hadn't developed any seeds yet, but were actually sweet and hot!.
I will probably try those again, but move them inside either a poly tunnel or the green house to try and buy them another couple of weeks.
I'm still in the try and see stage because of our short season between hard frost periods.
last year was 85 days.
I'm kind of surprised at what we did get [and kind of more at some of what we didn't] even if some of the stuff really needed another 2-3 weeks to really put out some decent numbers.

fiver I noted that my Pure Aleppo ( Pimento style Habley) Deteriorated in to huge Mis-shapen version of bell pepper after 3 years of saving seeds.
Granted they were tasty...some hot some not but I need to renew to pure seed again ( not cheap $5.95 for 10 seeds ) but the plants are prolific!
Tastiest Semi Hot Chilli hands down! The flavor is intense with a mild to medium heat depending on how many you eat And the heat is in your chest not your mouth or lips!
I know I Know .....thread drift!....... But Chillie peppers gives you great trigger and breathing control.....and I'm sticking with that!

@waco . Can't wait to see your next vids. Humor me and if you have any of the Lee 155 or 160gr 0.311", shoot some at 500. I surprised a bunch of people at one long range shoot I went to. I was banging a Torso sized plate every shot at 500. Then the wind started to blow. And.......... I am not good at reading wind.
I shoot the Lee 160 gr. TL GC bullet in my 7.62 x 54r rifles for quiet a few years but never at long range due to the problem of not having a place to shoot more than 100 yds. but that's soon to change this spring as a friend just purchased some property with a 500 yd. range on it. I've also shot the bullet recently in my 30-06 sized to .309" with excellent results. It's going to be interesting to see how that bullet does beyond 100 yds. along with the 30 XCB. I will be shooting both bullets in the 300 Sav. as well.
