My real name is Jacen and I have been a baby chili head (growing jalapeno, serreno and other mild chili's)most of my life. Now at age 40 I dove in to some of the real hots in the chili pepper world and find myself wanting more of them as so far I have loved them all. I have the last few yrs been kicking out the other vegi's in the garden to make more room for the peppers along with growing them in tubs and pots away from each other to gain my next batch of seed of my favorites. I live in Washington state currently on the west side much cooler but the peppers have done okay. I am in the process of building a greenhouse 10 x 32 and a hoop house or two to extend my season and add heat to the picky chili's growing temps. I have also recently acquired several hydroponic grow systems I plan on trying on a few of my peppers to see how they do. New peppers to my garden this yr are a type of piquin, a tepin from mexico, Caribbean Red habanero all of which are just starting to ripen. I have had a few of the piquin green already and enjoyed them but not as flavorful as others so far. I am on a real kick for any habanero or any pepper from this group based hot sauce or salsa. I have ordered seed some of which I started now for next yrs season including white habanero, ghost chili, fatalii, purple serrano, Zimbabwe Bird Pepper. Hope to add a few more of the super hots on my list for next yr and any help from here would be very welcome as many of the commercial sources out there seem to fall flat on delivering a true seed supply of these fire chili's (lets leave it at that). I plan on posting a few pics soon of some of my plants I have growing now.
