I had to come here and attest that poy's Peach Surprise and White Lightning are very good!  However, that White Lightning is a fireball!  I sampled that one first... the burn lingered a bit, but not disturbingly so, and not in any kind of painful way.  The peach by itself has great flavor- great...

Oh no, we totally need to play the POPPER roulette.  I bet we could even get the spouses to play if there were bacon involved.

I ordered from Pepperlover last Friday after getting discouraged about some of my pepper plants this year.  I ordered from another company, and nothing I've planted from them is growing true to what they are supposed to be.  So after reading all the threads here, I ordered from Pepperlover- and...

The last time we moved, I was in the same situation. I didn't know exactly where/when we'd be moving, but I couldn't stand the thought of not having my garden. So I started plants, and then we moved before it was time to get them in the ground, so timing worked great for that. I moved my...

Dried Beans of some kind. Looks like Pinto Beans to me, though the swirl on the far right one makes me think it might be Goat's Eye too.

Sadly, yes, years. But my casual daliance with hot peppers may have finally blossomed into something a little bit more. The hot sauce really turned out well. I poured it out into 4 ounce canning jars and have put it away in the extra fridge. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts...

Thanks all for the welcomes! I'm really excited to see so many pepper growers from Wisconsin- and even Chicago. One of the reasons I want to spend a bit of time here is to explore pepper varieties that I may not know about that grow well in our never predictable weather here. Of course, as...

I posted in the making hot sauce forum, but since I've decided to jump in there, I might as well jump in here- right? I'm a home gardener who has really become passionate about growing open-pollinated tomatoes and hot peppers. I grow lots of other things too, but those are my absolute...

Five gallons!! Wow, is that all for personal use? I have just 3/4 of a quart of hot sauce from my first try this year. I've never made it before. Usually the hot peppers I grow are destined for the salsa pot, but I had such a great year this year and wanted to play around a bit. I just...

Yay! Thank you, I will not strain it and see how we like it that way. I've been lurking about this forum for a few years now and have gleaned all kinds of wonderful info about hot peppers. It's amazing how addictive they can be, even when you don't consider yourself a hot-head. I'm now...

My very first hot sauce has now been aging over three months. I made it using a nice blend of all the peppers in my garden that were bright red and ready to be used. A mixture of Aji Cristal, Maule's Red Hot, Serrano, Hinkelhatz, and Cascabel Chiles. The mixture right now smells amazing, and...
