Hello everyone, this is my first post on the first Forum I have ever joined.
Although I am new, I feel that I have at least some experience to offer, and am excited to learn as much as possible from all the knowledgeable people here @ The Hot Pepper.
(if anyone has any tips for a total forum newb please let me know)
Now i'll attempt a short introduction...
Well after discovering this place last year, and realizing that there is more pepper related information here than anywhere else I have found, I decided that I have been "lurking" (I think that's the term) long enough. So here I am typing my first post.
Although I have grown various peppers for the last 4 years here in ZONE4, I have been gardening as long as I can remember, yet this is the first year that I started Peppers from seed (mostly seed from Pepperlover, but also from some seeds saved from plants I grew that I purchased from Cross Country Nurseries, a couple local trades, and 1 from newleafchilipepper)
Another reason I decided to finally join the community here is, I have become kind of obsessed with PEPPERS, and all things HOT really.
I grew 6 Pepper plants last year. This year I am growing 24 different Peppers. (some I have 1/2 dozen seedlings of) plus 3 Overwinters.
Now while I like most things HOT, Flavor is where it's really @ for me. If anyone has any recomendations for uncommon especially flavorfull Hot Peppers let me know
