2022 Pepper Crop

2021 was a pretty good year for growing chile peppers in Wisconsin. As always, some varieties produced better than others but overall a successful growing season. Now the operation is put away for the winter. In 2021 I tried a few new methods for growing my crop to make my "Urban Farm" more manageable and productive. Had a few glitches but overall successful enough to continue the same operation for 2022.

I want to take this time to thank all the customers who purchased peppers from Doorstep Peppers whether online or at local markets in 2021. Your interest, feedback and purchases help me decide what varieties of chile peppers to grow in coming years. 

I'd especially like to thank my good friend Mike Timm for once again providing me with the absolutely most amazing plant stock to work with. I am very anxious to grow some of his crosses as well as most of your favorite varieties, and have them available at markets this summer and fall at local markets and for online sales.

August 18, 2022    Many of my plants have a ploethra of green peppers on them and several are beginning to turn color. I have picked a few Red Jamacian peppers and anticipate harvesting more. The Teja Habanero, Hallows Eve, Blue Fawn cross as well as the Lemondrop peppers will be aavailable at this weekends markets. Mind you that there aren't that many of any variety so when they are sold out, you'll need to wait until the next market you see me at to purchase more.
The "Chocolate" varieties are not doing well this year. Not exactly certain why but don''t expect to see any of these varietie at markets this year or available for sale. Stay tuned later iin the season for any updates.
