I've been lurking for a year or so, and finally got around to registering. This is the first year I've grown my peppers from seed instead of from starts, and I've found a lot of useful information from this site---unfortunately I started them late, so just as the harvest is really getting good, I'm getting ready for winter. I'm outside San Diego, but far enough inland that we get real frost a few days in the winter; once in a while a pepper plant will tough it out through the winter on its own, but this is the first time I'm making any particular effort to support them.
Not a superhot guy; I like some of my food pretty hot, but I still want the heat at a level where it works with the flavors rather than obliterating them. I've branched out into a lot of new varieties this year and exploring the different tastes they open up has been a blast.
Oh, and the picture is my son (with a basket of Limo Blancos and Almapaprikas), not me. I haven't looked that good since about 1973. :-)
