You don't have to grow plants to be obsessed. My obsession runs deep, as most of you know, but my Black Hand of Withering Doom does not allow my personal creation of plants. However, I do have over 100 pounds of dried orange habaneros on hand at any said time.

Are You Obsessed With Peppers/Sauces/Heat?

I voted more obsessed than you beuacse I grow over 200 plants and over 30 varaites ans am allready planning next year where I will have possibly over 400 plants and 150 varaties (mailny c. baccatum and c. pubescens). Most of my free time is spent with peppers growing them, reading about them, talking to them eating them, making sauces with them, making pepper relish with them. My current project is buliding a giant greenhouse under my house to over winter all my peppers in and start new ones sooner than I normaily could. I have over 30 differnt hot sauces most of whichI made. I have a whole freezer full of peppers. Yeah i'm obsessed
Obsessed. I have grown many different types of peppers and use them in just about everything I cook. At this point I am plottting out what plants I am going to start for next year, and which plants I am going to save from death this winter.
We are close to matched, I have more pepper plants but you have more varieties.bowhunter said:
No but I am a pathelogical liar!
93 vars and an unusally low 250 plants this year cos i moved house in june...oh well sowing 500 Scorpions, Chocolates and Nagas in Early December should get the ball rolling nicely for 2007.
Long live the obsession.

Hahaha! Three platypus votes and one vote for My Name is Bob. lol!
I thought I had my chilli growing and eating under control, but this weekend Mrs Shooty* hid all my sauces on the basis that 1. the mackarel risotto did NOT need it and 2. the fact that I think it DID means I'm hooked on hot sauces.
I've now been reduced to having sweet thai chili dipping sauce on toast. She's done a bloody good job of hiding the bottles.
However, I'm still allowed to grow the plants. Going to put a website together to chart progress, if anyone's interested.

Don't let the Mrs push you around, find those sauces and free the inner chili-head!
Definitely Obsessed
I thought I was bad. I don't grow anything but I am always trying new sauces and many times I do bring my sauces to eat. At school I always give me students peanuts, chips, etc... I lace them with either a sauce or a powder for them. LOL.. Have to educate our youth as well as nourish them I guess.
I keep all my empty bottles in my class on a shelve I build. I will have to take some pictures and post them.
Cheers,

I voted "More than You".
I have lots of plants and varieties (as many as I can find) growing right now.
I eat, sleep, and dream peppers. Thank God for this support group! I know with your help, I will be even more obsessed in the future.

I wanna start out by saying hello to all,my obsession started out with me geetting a wild hair to make my own hot sauce,but after a few attempts the sauces were good but ...not quite hot enough using the typical peppers at your local grocery store,so i got the bright idea to find and grow the HOT stuff myself.So the search began,and it was then that i stumbled on to this forum 
and to my pleasant surprise
i found out that i'm not not the only one who has this obsession.But as of now i,m not as obsessioed as you [yet]
on another note i've been doin a lot of reading throughout this forum and have learned a great deal about my pepper growing venture.
Thanks to all
so i've ordered various seeds including Naga dorset,bhut,scotch bonnet jamacan yellows,tepin,a propagator,and lots of other dodads, cant wait to get started

Welcome Aboard The Hot Pepper Forum GaChileGuy!!!!
Welcome aboard dude!
Welcome to our little group GaChileGuy.
I have like 200 different kinds of chile seeds now. Later I might buy or trade for some nagas, but right now my plate is full.
*Recieved lots of different hot sauces as Christmas gifts.
*Bought 4 30w 2000 lumen 6400K CFLs, for my starter trays (man are they bright!).
I know some people run 85w and stuff, but I think I will start wearing sunglasses around them.
Gotta make some reflectors for 'em, so I can look at the plants.

"Not as much as you", only 10 varieties (assuming I get sprouts from each of the 7 varieties that I planted on Saturday).
I will admit to naming one plant, though. When Stumpy was a seedling, the seed coat wouldn't come off the seed leaves even after several days, so I tried VERY gently to remove it and ended up tearing off probably half of each seed leaf. I was horrified! Stumpy survived, of course, and is now catching up to his "brothers", flowering, etc. I'm giving a lot of plants away, but not Stumpy!
No sauces, etc, yet, (I want to make my own) but I did buy grow lights and some other equipment.
