Hello from Hotlanta

Hello Heatlovers!
 
Just found this site. Very jazzed. I started growing peppers last year with a handful of varieties I got from fataliiseeds.net. I've been into everything pepper, but I was particularly interesting in making some bonsai peppers after a good crop of chinense varieties.
 
After a humble beginning, I found that growing peppers coincided quite well with a healthier diet. I lost of ton of weight making salsa and spicy egg dishes staples, and now heat has found its way into my diet at least once a day. Jalapeños have become a love of mine, though the humble golden habanero and beautiful purple chiero roxa peppers were the stars of my potted peppers. 
 
This year I am going to fill a community garden plot with pepper plants (and maybe a handful of tomatoes.) Got the itch.
 
My bon chi's (not really good bonsais but still a lot of fun)...

I started some seeds last weekend. As soon as they start popping I will be starting a new glog. Peep in for details then. Or check out this year's if you got time to waste.

Great idea on the bonsai...Hubby thinks that's an awesome idea and has just informed me that he's going to try this too!

Thanks MiChris! I bet growing in Michigan is a challenge... do you have to do long stretches indoors? Got any good technique recommendations?

Thanks Fiesty! Actually bonchi is what got me into peppers in general. I came across fataliiseed.net's guide and figured I'd give it a shot. Guess I got addicted after that. I got a bottle of your sauce in my cart on iBurn... soon as I fill it up I'm gonna click order and give it a shot!

Just started last year with the super hots. Got some pods but nothing to write home about mostly because I started them too late. This is my first real try at growing them here in Michigan the proper ways (I hope) due to gaining knowledge from all the fine people here.
