I suppose everyone needs an introductory post. Here is mine.
When growing up in the Midwest, my family was considered by other locals to eat a lot of spicy food. After going to school in Arizona, I returned to the Midwest, and I quickly realized that a constant supply of inexpensive fresh peppers in AZ had changed my culinary repertoire and that both myself and my Midwestern girlfriend now consumed much more capsaicin than my nuclear family.
The general lack of fresh peppers in the Midwest changed my gardening practice to focus around peppers. The following year I planted approximately 40 pepper plants in the garden. I have since relocated to WA, and I am apartment bound so I grow a mix of hydro peppers in my apartment, and a hand full of peppers at the community garden.
I currently have an aji dulce, scotch bonnet, habanero and a couple of mystery varieties growing as a combination of year round hydroponic indoor plants and dug up plants that I am overwintering.
