Jalepenos the gateway drug

I got into peppers when a mystery pack of vegies at wally world turned out to be Jals and I loved them so much. There is so little variety for plant starts in my area that I just have to grow my own seeds and after 3 years of buying starts I'm:onfire: doing that now. Funny thing happened last week, I went into a tiny feed store asking for a heat mat and the owner tells me he does about 10 varieties of hot peppers a year but never used a mat, he seemed sort of wierded out by the thought of it but then he does have his own green house. I was delighted to see a number of familiar names from another forum and look forward to this growing season. Keep your fingers crossed for me and hope I dont make too many noob mistakes
 
Welcome from Fort Worth...my wife/better half/best friend is in Oak Lawn this weekend to see our grand daughter...

Its so close to me and she got some good weather, its been so brutal lately. My life-long best freind lives in Oak Lawn so I know it well.
 
Ya, I've always said that Jals are a gateway pepper, and the addiction is impossible to fight:lol:

Greetings!

Orange Habs are the other gateway pepper. ;)

If I had started on habs I'm not sure if I would still eat peppers... I grew into eating peppers and I started on pepperonis, pepperoncinis and jalapenos.
