Hi folks. I'm a newbie hot pepper grower. I'm a newbie gardener, really, having only done a bit in a shady yard a few years ago and living in apartments at other times. My fiancee and I bought a home last winter and even though our yard is tiny, I love it and I'm happy with the veggies I'm growing.
I'm growing Cayennetta and Apache Yellow peppers in containers, and they're doing really well. Next year, I'd like to grow jalapenos, too.
I'm a late bloomer in the 'hot food' department, having been raised by a pair of wonderful but extremely boring parents, foodwise. White bread and potatoes. I never got into any ethnic food (and nothing remotely hot) until I was close to 30. I recall *extra mild* salsa back in the 90s, and that's what I started out with! LOL.
My userpic is the pile of Apaches I picked yesterday, and chopped and froze for use over the winter in chili or what not. I have a dehydrator and I guess I could have dried them, too. I used little wee ziplocks - the kind that are often used for crafts - and put those little bags inside a larger ziplock.
Anyway, I look forward to browsing the forum and getting ideas for my pepper-growing.
