Hot Peppers are Really Good !!!!!!!!!
Thanks !!!
I Grew Old Too Fast (And Smart Too damn Slow !!!) !!!
I am now drying and preparing some seeds from these peppers to have a few plants in yard, soil is prepared tilted and ready for the seeds, I think I'll be ok planting this time of year as our weather is mild and summer like in winter.

I'm on a steady diet of hot peppers, I've tried several different types and strains and the best are the ones Dan sent me.

you will be fine, they are not photo-period sensitive, peppers flower when they want, and can live for up to 10 years , dont over water them, and very very light on fertilizers {throw some dead fish under your bed before you plant}

Good to know, and will burry some fish leftovers first thing in the morning. Thanks.

also keep in mind their roots grow straight down, and do not spread out much
i grew one for almost 3 years, it could easily fill a 8x8 room by itself , root stem was 11"s across

I have to admit I am interested in the superhots though, I would like my wife to grow some alongside the habenero and jalapeno peppers this summer.

Big Jim (NMSU) ground temp must hit 68 before they germinate.
Anaheim (bland) watering after fruit set guarantees "sudden wilt".
Guajillo (Mexico) planting in wet soil will root rot, need 90 degree weather to flower.
Poblano/Ancho (Chile) pH over 6.5 or under 4.5 stunted growth, few fruits
It's a very adaptable fruiting weed bush that does well almost anywhere, think of it as edible fruiting tumbleweeds. Especially in the morning[:D]
Remember the old adage(dicho); water a lot, no get hot; water just some, smokin' hot bum!
I can eat habenero peppers, but you guys that can eat reapers and scorpions have cast iron stomachs and * holes![:D]

do you plant any "hot" peppers ? [:D]
you are correct about ground temps, ph 6.0-6.8 is desirable
contrary to belief peppers like cooler soil while growing , and not allot of heat period, less water stresses the plant and causes "corking" which stimulates oil production in the fruit
wet soil = dampening off , once stunted always stunted
Bernalillo Blue, Chimayo Red, Hatch Extra Hot, Caballo Cayenne, Sandia Serrano's & Poblano for rellenos. This year I tried Tobascos just for the fun of it; dam little things are everywhere!
No Ghosties, Sudden Death, Scotchbonnets or jalape?os; I'm into the traditional new Mexican flavors.
Heat is relative; Jamaican Chiles aren't hot to Jamaicans, new Mexico Chiles aren't hot to new Mexicans. Besides, ya can't stuff much of anything in a habanero.
i knew you would have some [:D]

Yes I am hooked, a few peeper plants hopefully will go a long way for me, our soil here is soft and very organic so pepper plants should flourish well with deep root systems.
