I usually start hot peppers at the end of January. Well BiMart had all the seed starting stuff out already so I figured why not. Grab a couple easy ones. It will be like a preseason game.

Carolina Reaper. A good friend of mine started it too late last season and then neglected it. Poor thing was in a quart container when I got it but I nursed it back to health. It spent August and half of September outside, then I brought it inside, trimmed it back and let it go dormant until thanksgiving when I put it under one of the big grow lights. Most of the growth seen here is in the past 4-5 weeks. Should get a bumper crop out of this one. A quart bag of fresh reapers can fetch $40-50

These are from 2018-2019. Knowing what I know now I should’ve kept them over the 2019-20 winter
They take up a lot of space lol.

Nice work. Your location of "Yakivegas" I'm assuming you're in Yakima which has too darn many casinos??

It’s because it kinda looks like Vegas from a distance and that’s about it. There’s a few casinos in town but its not like Vegas.

Yeah you don’t want to eat a whole one. I got plenty of the guys at work by offering $5 to eat one lol.
When used in moderation they make an excellent addition to hot sauce, salsa, and chili. Soups or whatever else you want to spice up.
I like some heat, to a point.
I love a good sweat, whether its southwest chile or Asian. I don't want to have to put the TP in the deep freezer or have the fire extinguisher next to the toilet.
I had a friend with a bumper crop of peppers at the end of season. Many varieties, a couple thermo nuclear which I declined. I took a good sample and dried them out. Chilies, Serano, Cayenne, Jalapeno. A little pinch into a saute to add some zing and some background flavor is nice.

Food ain't food unless it's hot! 
Good looking peppers.

Hard to eat c-rations without hot sauce.
The seeds generally don't go all the way to the bottom. Biting off the bottom, eating it, and handing the rest to someone else to try is a mean trick.
Anyways, those habaneros come creeping, you might think "that aint too hot" at first...
But they actually have a flavour to it, the others is ususally just like any pepper.
If you put them in vinegar and sugar they will last, because the is no chance you're gona eat them all fresh.

Yeah but try that with a reaper no thanks! Even just a small piece will put the hurt on you. And don’t dare chop them up with out gloves on then go take a piss

We did our National Guard training in Yakima. Not a very nice place. All the dust there is so thin - leftover ash from St. Helens. That stuff got everywhere!

I have definitely warmed my naughty bits working with peppers. Haven't grown any reapers yet, but I do find habaneros to be tolerable.
If my eyes and nose aren't running, it just isn't hot enough...

It sure does. I always get a kick out of getting back on the highway after a day driving around in the hills and the truck is leaving a 007 style trail of dust for the first 1/2 mile.

These arrived in the mail today. If you like to roast or stuff Green Chile’s the Numex is where it’s at.

Cayennes already popping
Ambient temp is looking good.
Saturday I’ll start the Reapers with my fingers crossed. Last time was my first go at it and germination rate was only 20%
This time I’ll have heat pads with a thermostat and a little more patience.
Gotta get out in the garage next and clean all the chainsaw carcasses out of my grow room so I can sheet it with osb. I got a bunch of six bulb T5HO fixtures from work when they upgraded to LED that need to go up, and plumb water from the garage sink for automated watering.
