Waddaya think?  Just got around to looking at my May issue of Bon Appetit and on page 105, there is a recipe for Tetilla-stuffed Padrons by Chef Jose Andres who has a Spanish cooking program on PBS.

I am growing these for the first time this year, started from seed a while back and now in 5" pots in the greenhouse.

Each plant is about 4" high now maybe bigger, from reading on a few other forums I think I will eventually put them in flower buckets.

I hope they are successful as really like them and no one sells them by me anymore (Waitrose was the only one selling and they stopped).

I have about 12 plants, do you get a lot of peppers of each plant?

I love Jose Andres' show Eddie.  He has a top-rated restaurant in D.C. and lives here.  The kitchen segments are filmed here, I think at his home which looks like a spiffy ultra-modern space.  I'd love to see the rest, but I won't be stalking the poor man at his home!

Hi Salanddaz, we had a brilliant crop in the greenhouse from 6 or so plants which cropped right up to the 1st bit of cold in December, we had so many I was getting complaints of "not padron peppers again....", whose seeds did you use? we had good results from Mr Fothergills. Cheers,  Steve

Hi Steve,

Sounds good, I should have quite a few then from 12 plants!!  May have to give them away if I can't them quick enough.

I used Mr Fothergills as well, what size pots did your plants end up in?

Why not, I would.  It's a good thing I don't live in NYC, Rocco De Spirito would have me behind bars in a minute!

But back to the topic, Jim brought the pedron plants to the house today and they're out in the garden enjoying the sun instead of living in the shade of giant redwood trees.
