Biography

I'm a 27-year-old mom and wife living in small town Idaho with my 5-year-old son and husband. I spend way too much time obsessing about my plants and spend more of my day in my greenhouse than anywhere else. I am trying to introduce the world around me to the joys of peppers other than bell and jalapenos. I hope to sell a few plants this year at the farmer's market and maybe, someday, have my own pepper business. I, however, still have tons to learn both about growing peppers and the pepper business.
