Friendly Hello from Greensboro, North Carolina !

Butt Jolokia

Butt Jolokia

I'm 37 and been a pepperhead since my dad dribbled some Texas Pete Hot Sauce on my bbq sammich way back when I was maybe 3 or 4.

I was the first person I knew, seen, or heard of pop a whole Orange Habanero in their mouth. That was in 1999-ish.

Had my first whole fresh Bhut Jolokia summer of last year... here's the video of it...

The outdoor season is short, but the summer here is great for growing chiles. Very humid and warm.

I stepped out the airport in St. Paul in November of 2000. COLD is not even the right word.

We have a lot of hot pepper interest here. My local friend is growing the Bhut I ate in the video. He has some Douglah's coming in soon and other superhots. Conditions seem to be really nice for gardening peppers here. We also have a nice variety of stores getting in various quality peppers. The city has changed so much in 7 years.. certainly downtown.
