You can smell them from several feet away :P

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 Jalapeño 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

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

Yup
I am a pepper fan myself....I am a bit late starting this year so no fruit yet but I have about 10 varieties and 30-40 plants started in the greenhouse right now.
