Hello,
I am new to this board and would like to offer a bit of an intro if I may.
I have been gardening, on and off, my whole life. I grew up in a small town in NE Ohio at a time and place where nearly everyone had a garden. I helped my dad tend our garden which grew a regular variety of staples for our table. I don't remember ever growing any peppers but Cali Wonder bell peppers and until this year I had never grown anything else either.
Last year I decided to start some of my own plants and came upon Baker Creek Seeds online and ordered some tomato seed along with a few other veggies, but no peppers. Well, last winter I received their seed catalog in the mail - it was beautiful! I wanted some of everything in there - including all those fascinating peppers.
Unfortunately I don't have growing space for everything so I ended up planting Lemon Drop, Sandia, Black Hungarian, Poblano, Orange Bell and Corno di Toro Red. (It was while looking for more info on the Black Hungarian that I happened upon TheHotPepper). Our local grocery stores have a minuscule selection of peppers. I can choose from Bell, Jalapeno, Orange Hab, Poblano and sometimes Yellow Wax so you can imagine I am excited to see what my plants this year produce. Gardening is so infectious I know most of you understand just what I mean about the excitement of new varieties.
