Hi all,
So where do I start ... hum ... First I would like to apologize for my pitiful English, because as you may have noticed in my topic's title, I'm a little Froggy living in Paris. So you know, frogs don't speak a very good English.
I have fallen in love with peppers a long time ago. When I was 8 years old, I used to eat tubes of Harissa (Maroco pepper sauce) like if it was my feeding-bottle. I think it was (and it still is) an addiction, even if where I come from, we don't have a "culture" of peppers (we eat oysters, frogs, snails, even Nutria Coypu but no chillies). During my childhood I grew some peppers from time to time in the garden or indoor. During my adolescent crisis I became more interested in growing some other kind of plants indoors (like most of the kids in Europe I guess) and I think I learned quite a lot from it.
Now I live in Paris with my Mauritius girl friend, who thought she was a hardcore pepper eater until she met me. So we eat quite a lot of spicy food and to do so, we need peppers ... a bunch of them.
This year I planted (18 march) :
- 10 Trinidad Scorpion Butch T
- 10 7 Pot Brain Strain
- 10 Bhut Jolokia
The Scorpions sprouted very well (8/10) in 14 days, whereas the others are slower (only 1/10 for each variety so far). I will make a grow log, if I can do so, to explain everything.
I read this forum for a while now as an anonymous visitor, and I decided to join it because I'm a beginner and I've a lot a questions to ask to you who are experienced in pepper growing.
Okay, that's all for my first post.
See you soon folks.

from florida
however they are tastier so the trade off is worth it
I ate some fresh and I made a sauce with the rest. This year I planted more, because last time I had only 4 plants and it was not enough to stand the whole winter.
