Daves is the stuff
Hot sauce may be fun going in... but it somehow converts to flame as it exits!
Butt (see what I did there?)
You can mitigate the bum-flames, by drinking some sugar-water just prior and immediately after (2 tbsp of sugar in a 1/3 cup each time should do it) consumption of your chosen incendiary sauce. (You can substitute milk/cream/flavored creamer for the water)
(and no... artificial sweeteners won't do it)
That is sweet!I roll my own.
This year's crop will be smoked, dried, and ground.
I will then process last year's fermented mash's into sauces.
Both pictures are from my plants, 5 minutes ago.

Now I need your tips on growing those in Oregon... Jalapeños I don't have a problem with but when I try habaneros I get no joy.
So, what are you secrets???

took a bottle to work a few years back to see if it could pass the Mexican test...

Sounds like a man with a green thumb and a red b-hole.I have my pepper bed on the west side of the house with a southern exposure. So 12-14 hours of daylight.
Neutral soil. I amend it in the fall. I bury compostable material in the fall. Plant with cover crop for the winter. Then turn the crop into the soil on 3/1. I turn the soil every 2 weeks.
I buy starts. Plant them. Top dress the bed with some of my chicken and shavings compost.
I then keep the bed watered fairly well. I pinch back early blooms. Fertilize lightly throughout the growing season.
The soil is black. Rich. Airy. Really good growing soil. It used to be dry. Brown. Clumpy. Clay laden stuff that sucked for growing anything in. It took a few seasons to get it nice and pretty.
