I'm from S.E. Michigan. been growing the hot stuff since '98. Started with wild birds eye. Bhut's came next in 2005, not much early success.Last year started 4 plants got 3 peppers.Wintered the plants indoors. This year, I have 5 pounds plus in bhut, guess you can say I'm up to my butt in bhut!My third pepper is a Manzano, from south Mexico. A yellow beauty with plenty of heat. I've canned 8 quarts of salsa from this pepper.
