Rotten weather here in Ohio this year for growing. Had too much rain early on and all my tomato plants drowned. The two ghost pepper plants that I started from seeds last January faired a little better but were stunted and didn't produce more than a handful of peppers.
Contrast that with last year. Three peppers. Red Sovina did great. Bird seed peppers more than great. And a pepper that I got from this mom and pop Vietnamese restaurant down the street.
I built a card board box forced fan dryer and dried them all. Ground them and shared lots of flakes. I have family and friends that are real pepper heads and appreciate the heat.
I guess I'll try the ghosts again next year and hope for a better harvest. Might have to pick up some of the other seeds from some of the other peppers mentioned here. Makes my mouth water.
And I almost never use the pepper straight, raw. Too hot for me. A few flakes added to just about anything makes it better and adds a dimension of heat and in some cases, sweat. You know what I mean.
I would be willing to trade cigars for seeds and peppers if you have too many..... Especially hotter than the Red Savina or any that are smoked. Something I have never done or can do at this point.
