yes growing things yourself actually takes a lot of work. I havent been able to grow things like watermelons, canteloupes etc... because of things getting to them.... but have had plenty of luck growing my own hot peppers. Right now I have quite a few of Habanero plants, and even some Louisiana Cayennes growing. Takes forever to turn them red/orange though, but love the taste.
I am much more involved in hot sauces than I post about though, growing up in new orleans ive been eating very hot stuff since I was born LOL its only natural that since I love it spicy and love to cook, i would end up doing my own hot sauces and salsas.
My red hot salsa base is to die for!
I give bottles of it away and try to keep enough to last me more than 1 night LOL between my wife and I it never lasts long and I make it regularly...
I really enjoy just hearing people tell me how good it tastes, so its rewarding and tasty.
