This is a great idea. I wish I could attend. Unfortunately, my weekends are always busy especially towards the end of summer. Oh and Salsalady, I am going to be bottling my hot sauce here for a local restaurant. I might have a few questions about the process if you don't mind. And is anyone...
You are absolutely correct. I live in the Southeastern side of the state and the weather has been much cooler than it should. Luckily it still remains in the mid 80's here which is perfect for my plants.
That would be awesome, Chileaddict. In return I can make hot sauce out of them and send the final product to you. As far as other ways to acquire plants is this something I need to go out and ask or are there actual places (like a farmers market) where I can buy directly from?
I was planning on starting this weekend. Our summer heat is long here since it is a desert climate. I figure I can use half the seeds to experiment with now and maybe save the rest for next yearr.
I have been planning to grow my own peppers for a while now and I have been doing as much research as possible. However, there is so much information out there that I don't know what applies to what. I know ALL you guys have great input and I plan on following the advice you give me. So for...

http://www.pascofieryfoods.com/ It does look like they will be coming back this year. Do you have any plans on going to it? I want to try to make salsa again. My attempt last year was not a good one at all.
They canceled the fiery foods festival last year in Pasco due to lack of participation. It was a bummer because I had intentions on entering it for some habanero salsa. I'm hoping though to have a great season for growing peppers. The heat down here is fairly consistent so I'm expecting a...
Is it honestly going to be so bad that I don't even want to think about it? Right now flavor isn't my main concern. If I were to add it to a standard hot sauce will it just make it taste awful and I'll want to die? I am not new to things that are so hot they have no flavor. I own the Source...
Growing my own peppers is my ultimate goal. I want to do it right and I think this site can give me the tools to do that. I am stuck with the crystals and figured I might as well play around with them if possible. I am kind of afraid of what they might do to me if mistreated.
I know that doesn't sound very appealing but I have capsaisin (sp?) crystals that I want to experiment with. I want to make a death sauce but obviously not one that will put anyone in the hospital (including myself when I cook with it). Do you guys have suggestions of what I can do with them?
Hey guys,
I am a hot foods fanatic from Washington and I really love the information this board provides. I have been seeking out ways to make my own hot sauces, salsa, and wing sauce from scratch. I know this would be the best place to learn!
