| Well, Let me tell you how I got started. I have always loved spicy food, mainly because it was something other than my mom's plain old Meatloaf. I have grown an avid obsession with HOT foods. So much that it has turned into my latest hobby. My oldest sister and I lived together a while back and she would grow a couple of hot pepper plants in the garden. Nothing too fancy. Just Habanaros, Hungarian Hot Wax, Lemon Drops, and Anehiem's. Around the fall she would harvest them and make a variety of salsas and what not, but I always wanted it hotter. But don't tell her that. One year for Christmas my sister gave me a jar of 911 spicy Mustard from a local shop & I fell in love! No one else would touch it, but I had to have it on everything. I needed to find the peppers it was made with. Reading the ingredients, I was introduced to the Scotch Bonnet AND there the quest began. I found that the internet was a very useful tool. I began to Google and came across website in the UK that sold every hot pepper you could name. It was there that I found some of the HOTTEST peppers ever. The Red Savina, Chocolate Habanero, Scotch Bonnet, Thai Sun, and many more. I bought "The Hottest Peppers In The World" collection along with any other pepper that was ranked a 10+ or better on a 1-10 scale for heat. Next Spring we started them in the garden at my sisters, and the rest is history. Now I have my own garden, more varieties, a wife who HATES spicy food, but I love her anyway, and a new website that will never get more than 3 hits a year. Browse through, you might find this to be quite entertaining, and maybe even, do I dare say, Educational. Just click on the pepper and see what's inside. ***For additional Advice & Growing Teqniques for Wine Grapes in Northern Illinois, please visit: SUGARRIVERVINEYARD.Netfirms.com Home of Northern Illinois' Most Profound , Award Winning, Vineyard & Wine Grapes |
