any hot pepper enthusiasts?
 
Well I know we have a lot of gardeners on here and this is our first year doing it. And my hands are dirty.

Are there any pepper enthusiasts on here? Hot or superhots in particular?

Here are my babies right now started from seeds from pepperjoes

Red habanero
Devils tongue
Scotch bonnet
Bhut jolokia (x2)
Fatalii
Trinidad scorpion moruga
Trinidad scorpion butch T (x2)
Carolina reaper (current guiness world record holder)

I'm hoping to get these bad boys in to some 5 gallon pots soon as I can line up 10 lol.

Here's my scotch bonnets already setting fruit

If anyone grows hots or superhots feel free to give me some pointers as its my first time and want as many as I can get :)

The place where I am from, people sometimes try "hot and spicy" stuff to overcome constipation ;) But I love it since it just makes food tastes so much better :D

I typically grow a number of different plants in my garden (this year will be the exception - no time). The craziest I grew were Naga Bhut Jolokia (Ghost pepper). Those things were vicious! I have a high tolerance for heat but... holy balls those things kicked my ass!

LOL. I think they're actually trying to tear your sinuses out of your head from several feet away.

I love spice and heat more than most but what are you trying to do with those things...chemical warfare? Uncooked Jalapeņo is about as crazy as i get....and dang those can be hot.

OMG! Yes! I love hot peppers.

I try to grow as many as I can every year and make them into hot and spicy pepper jelly.

Did you start everything yourself or pick them up?

Haha it would seem so. But no. I make hot sauce and salsa in the fall usually a batch of mild, medium and burning hot. But the last few years has been tough to find peppers locally and fresh to boot. So I figure 10 superhots plus 4 medium/mild will suffice as well as my onions and tomatoes if all goes well I should have a butt load of glorious burning sauces

Haha we shall call it @$$ burn sauce. Or something gross to ward off the non believers :lol:

Last year was habanero and ghost pepper hot sauce and salsa which was a good heat level but this year I want a little more ;)
