Hi everyone.  This is my first G-log and my 2nd year growing peppers.  I have 24 plants in the ground.  I planted them the last week of April 2016.  I grew about 13 from seeds and the others I purchased as seedlings.     The List: (Capsicum type, Pepper Name, Source)   C. annuum Big Jim , Chile...

To me, your major issue is the seeds you start with.  Just keep growing and finding the peppers you like.  There are many types of jalapeños and habaneros.   The best way is to find "hot" types from growers here and trade seeds with them.  I like to buy pods from the growers on this forum to...

We get a bunch of customers every year who test their "new" crosses at various F stages as they develop them.   These are both large farms, seed companies, and home growers.  Some are looking to see if the current crop is similar to the last or any other thing they may want to know.  The grower...

I love San Francisco!  That is a great place to visit and walk all over and experience the people and culture.  Also, Philadelphia is great fun and plenty to do.   If you do come through New Mexico, stop in Las Cruces and I can give you the chile pepper tour with the Chile Pepper Institute, many...

  I got the flu so I couldn't make the show.  I ordered the sauce from John's site.  I have not tasted your sauces yet, but some day here I'll order your 8 pack. 

CaJohns has made another good one...PepperMonkey Baby Hot sauce.  It's real simple with 3 ingredients: Fresh Mesilla Cayenne Chiles, Sea Salt, and Vinegar.   It's not a normal cayenne sauce that is fermented, it's fresh peppers like I like them. It was thicker than many sauces but pours easily...

Last year I put my plants too close, 12-16 inches apart.  24-30 inches is  is my plan for this next years crop.  I have raised beds that are 4'x8'.  I will be putting 8 plants (instead of 16) in each, 4 in each row with 2 rows.   It's not a big deal if you want more plants in a smaller place...

I love apple pie, but also with peppers!     Here in New Mexico we add chiles to everything.  So, to make a pie better, I add roasted green chiles.  I add about a cup of chopped roasted peppers  and some pine nuts to a standard apple pie recipe.  I keep it real simple and have only apples...

Yes, probably due to drying.  

I find that the drier the pods the finer the grind.     I have been using this one now for about 30-40 grinds and does well and is cheap.  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E4KLW3Q?keywords=spice%20grinder&qid=1448204602&ref_=sr_1_11&s=kitchen&sr=1-11   The best part about this grinder (and...

I am very new to this pepper affliction as well.  I have always liked hot sauces and salsas, but never grew or knew much about them.  I grew up in Northern California were there wasn't much variety and jalapeños were too hot for me.   In 2010, I moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico where they like it...

Awesome advertising for us!  I didn't eat any of the fresh peppers, but I had some flakes of the dried pods, before grinding, and like Mark said they have good flavor and not too much heat to ruin it.  I thought it tasted like raisins with heat.  Very cool pods with unique coloring and shapes.  -Tom

It has the similar look to some types of New Mexico types as well.  This one is  Joe Parker or Sandia from my garden:  

Welcome!     Like sicman said, you should move this to the Classified Ads/Forum ads section.   What kind of peppers?       Thanks, Tom

That's awesome and I wish you the best on your new adventure!  

Welcome from Las Cruces, New Mexico!  I grow plenty of mild, flavorful peppers along with the super-hots, so that I make salsas, mole, and things my wife and friends will enjoy. 

Thanks for sharing your dream with us Aaron!  I wish you the best of luck and hope you can do this.  I probably should not say anything, but I hope I can help a little.  Please take this with a grain of salt since I have only invested in a couple startups, etc.   Since I don't know you at all...

Thanks for doing this... tonight was a good time for me to get off the fence!  

Thanks and yeah doing homework before is a good idea.
