Pepper plants growing List
Those Birds Eye Peppers and the sauce you make for your dad look real impressive, Moodene. I grow a pot-full of Maui Purple Peppers that we use the same way, they're super-hot and have great flavor so they provide the 'heat' in our salsas and other dishes.
But having those when serious 'heat' is called for, the other varieties I'm growing are sweet or just mildly hot.
Carmen
Pepperoncini
Jimmy Nardello
Yummy Orange
TAM Jalapeno
Slonovo Uho
Ljubov Dlan
Carmen is a big, productive, red-ripening sweet non-bell I've grown for years - we slice and freeze those to have sweet peppers available year-round. I grow mildly-hot light green-to-red Pepperoncinis because I love them pickled on my sandwiches. Jimmy Nardello is an heirloom brought from Sicily, thin-walled but the best-flavored frying pepper I know of. I saved seeds last year from a Yummy Orange Bonnie Plant Farms plant from Lowe's because it was so good - don't know if I'll get away with that, since peppers cross so easily.
TAM Jalapeno was developed at Texas A & M University to have full Jalapeno flavor and only about 1500 Scoville units instead of the usual 5000. We'll use those in salsas, as pickled Jalapeno rings, and for cheese-filled poppers. The last two varieties are from seeds sent to me by some nice folks in Slovenia - enormous red-ripening sweet 'paprikas', both of them.
This year for sweet to mildly hot I'm growing Aconcagua, Pepperoncini, Buran, Yummy Orange, Lipstick, Tequila Sunrise and Cochiti. The hots are Inferno, Hungarian Hot Wax, Jalmundo, Ram Horn Fireboy, 3 Lobos, Australian Broome, Chimayo, Pequin, an orange pequin, African Pequin, Naga Viper, and Congo Red. The last two are considered superhots. I don't think I left anything out.

Ozark, for a frying pepper you should really try the Padron, a Spanish heirloom from Galicia. Sauteed in olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt, they're served as tapas in Spanish restaurants. Delicious.
