What is your favorite thing about growing peppers? Also what is your favorite thing about peppers in general?

 

[NIbbles]

my favorite thing is seeing the peepers develop and seeing all the ripe fruit hang down.

Seeing the fruits of ones labour

I do it for the chicks.

I like all of it, it's therapeutic!

I like everything about it, but the reason I grow them when it comes down to it... I like to eat them and make sauce from them.

Growing new varieties every year!  An inexhaustible pool of good candidates.

To get more of a variety of peppers. Local farmers market mainly carry Poblano, Jalapeno, Habanero.
I want more exotic/hotter plants. So figured easiest way.., grow em yourself

The burn! Everything else takes a back seat but loving the flavors along the way. It's been like taking the scenic route trying to find the ultimate burn. Totally believe the flavors are deeper, denser and more complex in the peppers with a hotter and better quality of burn. So it's a never-ending journey of flavors and endorphins.

A superhot cured me of a bad stomach flu just the other week! I was going to go to the doctor which is saying a lot for me. Worst stomach flu I've ever had went up against one of the best superhots I've ever had Burn-wise. The pepper won! Felt better that very day. Got seeds of that variety! Love growing plants in general as well. Teaches me about nature and life.

My favorite part is when I start to see fruit forming, then the harvesting.  Growing peppers you cannot find in stores is cool too.
I just received my Baker Creek order today.  Some new peppers I'm trying from them are, Elephant Trunk, Friariello Di Napoli,
and Ajvarski.

I enjoy watching the plant/fruits grow but I really enjoy trying all of the different varieties and flavors. I also love the burn.

 

[Masher]

Just growing in general and extremely relaxing watching the fruits of your labor.
 
That and unleashing all sorts of hell fire and fury upon my friends.

Cooking foreign dishes with peppers from my garden that require specific, impossible to find in the States fresh peppers. It really brings an authenticity to a meal, that can only be had through hard/fun work in the garden.

I also like making hot sauce and jelly.

I can't really enjoy a meal unless it burns my mouth a bit. It's like a 6th taste sense. I would give up sweet over burn, in a heart beat, if I had to sacrifice one sense.

 

[MulchyDreams]

Love that BURN and the intense flavors that have you thinking about the meal you ate for weeks

 

[Guatemalan Insanity Pepper]

everything that has already been said ^
 
so many great reasons to love growing peppers 

 

[Mr.CtChilihead]

You all mention some good reasons..But seriously we all do it for the groupies. If I had rhythm I'd probably be in a band and never have grown a pepper.
