Yes-peppers are great. I like the simple chili peppers for Mexican dishes. Yum! What type of tomatoes do you grow? I’m in Nashville tn-zone 6b to 7. I have had some luck growing an heirloom called “ mortgage lifter”. Not a particularly pretty tomato but good for canning. However the past few years , despite crop rotation and such we are really fighting tomato diseases and blight and birds pecking away at them. Ugh. Going to try a hybrid this summer called “celebrity”. Had a friend grow them successfully last year. This variety is supposed to be very disease resistant. Hope so. Them maters go well with the peppers!

Because of my restaurant background, and my desire for being able to repeat a dish over and over again, I generally grow Roma tomatoes. They are good for almost everything. And they grow well here.

I'm very conservative. I find something that works really well, and I stick with it.

I will try other stuff, but for bulk eating for the year? I'll stick with the tried and true that has lasted centuries.

Roma works fresh, canned, sun dried, and reduced to tomato paste and powder.

Works for me.

Celebrity ain't bad, though, for sammiches with red onions and meat and cheese of your choice.

Take what I say about my preferences as what they are. I'm an opinionated old fart set in my ways on some things. It is my opinionated opinion.
