Currently stationed in Okinawa, Japan. Sub-tropical climate, the summer heat and humidity is barely tolerable without ac, but hoping peppers love it.
Currently growing, from oldest to newest, some (supposedly) Peruvian White Habaneros, Scotch Bonnets, Santa Fe Grande, Chocolate Habaneros, Butch Ts, Fire Crackers, Bolivian Rainbows and Shima Togarashi (I know these will do well, they're one of the few native peppers out here).
I've always had interest in hot sauces, I have a few different bottles of various heat levels. One of my buddies at work bought some bhut jolokias for youtube videos, I tried one and it kicked everything back into gear with using hot sauces on everything and only ordering food that is supposed to be hot and spicy. He then decided he would try to grow some, and bought a few other types, it didn't work out for him so he gave me the white habanero seeds he had left and I was hooked. They're the only seeds not purchased from Pepper Joe. The Shima Togarashi, I got a few from a Okinawan I work with who grows them and saved some of the seeds to grow myself.
I've done alot of reading and research on growing peppers, but I still consider myself new and somewhat lost on things as some sites seem to go against what other sites say. Whatever I'm doing, it seems to be working, maybe somewhat slow, but I have 4 white habaneros with between 3 and 5 sets of true leaves and signs of growth starting between the leaves and stems.
