Brian,

There is some great info on overwintwering peppers on another forum. I'll send you the link via private e-mail. Also, I think that one of the members here posted some info on the topic.

I am a whimp with hot stuff or I could have died. All my coworkers were laughing because they thought I was reacting to the heat of this new salsa. Good thing I am a nurse and had access to emergency medication because they darn near made me stop breathing

. My husband and daughter are very excited because I am going to try my hand at making homemade salsa for them this comming up season. They are more along the lines of medium heat. I actually think I am going to grow that Fooled you hybrid and take it to work and take big bites just to mess with coworkers. But knowing them they will try to throw me down and inject me with Benadryl

Kat, I feel your pain...that is why I grow Fooled You, Senorita and other mild japs...I really show off taking a bite out of a Fooled You jap...

Wow, gorgeous garden! I love peppers and will grow some from seeds for the first time this year. Woo-hoo! Hopefully it will not be a flop, and I will have some to pickle.

Thanks

Peppers are pretty easy to grow so I wouldnt worry about flopping too much

I tried my first Naga Morrich raw this year and there is absolutely nothing as hot as that. The heat creeps up on you and keeps building for about five minutes, but the endorphin kick that follows is wonderful.

Hey! That sounds just like some tequila I brought home from Mexico a few years back.

Barbee, My Nagas are looking pretty good.

Tell us more about your tequila experience

Barbee · January 16, 2009

Ha! Let me just say the mexican tequilla experience is still being talked about by those involved...and it happened 8 years ago.
I went to Cancun and on the way home, I bought a bottle of tequilla at the airport. I can't remember what kind it was, I bought it because it was a cool bottle

So on New Years, I took the bottle to a dance with me. We rang in the New Year with it. This tequilla was so smooth..the shot just went down smooth as silk. Then about 2 mins later, big bullets of sweat would break out on your lip and forehead. It had a major kick to it. The whole table and half of one table over swear it was the best tequilla they'd ever had. Of course, the fun part of it was hearing them say how smooth it was...then watching for the sweat bullets to pop out on their face

That's all to the story...just seemed to fit the Naga pepper description LoL
