It’s a lot more complicated than just planting them and eating them for commercial uses. You need a consistent product year in and year out so you have to test cultivars, maybe even make your own cultivars to get the consistency you want. Climate and soil has a huge effect on peppers.
For commercial purposes, yes. I was just referring to personal or perhaps micro-farming use. We till about a 1,000 square feet for our main plot, and use tubs and other raised beds to supplement. We try to use heirloom and non-GMO seed when possible, and avoid store-bought seed when we can. Sometimes it doesn’t yield as big a crop, but the quality is better. This is only our second year on this new property, so it’s a work in progress. And with us both having just crossed that AARP rubicon, health concerns create just enough background noise to put a governor on how headlong we move. LOL
Irwindale want$ to be paid off, but i$ too $mart to put it in $o few word$.
Industry, which extends about 15 miles along San Jose Creek but has about 150 registered voters is another such "city," as is Vernon, which once had a "mayor" who claimed what was clearly an office building to be his residence.
Coffee is blended from various different coffee beans to produce the “preferred” taste. There is really no reason why the same can’t be done with peppers - there are plenty of super hot peppers grown in Mexico to blend with more mild peppers grown in the U.S.

Don’t forget Cudahy, City of Commerce, Compton, and all the other little LA County Fiefdoms. It probably doesn’t really matter now that LA is Mexico City del Norte, but they should have closed down all these places decades ago. I drive to LA once a year and it is just stunning what a $hit hole it’s become in my lifetime. At the end of the day they are going to have to wall off everything south of I-10.
One of my aunts grew up in Compton, a town where two US presidents-George and George W. Bush—once lived. The Bush family residence, at the corner of Santa Fe and Myrrh, was bulldozed sometime after 2002, when I last saw it. When she lived there, Barbara Bush described Compton as “lovely.”
Then you had better get started.
Consider East Tennessee, the next breadbasket of America now that soviet California has fallen. Over the long term, Texas may suffer the same fate.
Acres and acres of peppers grown in Southern Ar for Tabasco and Louisianne hot sauce. Down by Transylvania just look for the Bat on the water tower.
I’ve never seen a place (with soil, not rock — and a little water) in Texas that wouldn’t grow peppers — and plenty-hot ones!
It’s nothing less than a shakedown by the Irwindale crime family that runs the city.
When the Pineapple express is running though (like 1969) there can be some serious rain real fast.
