Heh-heh! Lookee what I found today!

These will be going into the greenhouse. It seems that hot peppers and my papaya are the only things that really like the high summer temps in there!

I'm a bit of a hot pepper aficionado and ordered some Bhut Jolokia seeds just the other day from Baker Creek Seeds.

I also ordered some of these bad boys:

Trinidad Scorpion Pepper

".....Named as the world’s hottest pepper by the New Mexico Chile Institute, edging out the previous record holder, Bhut Jolokia, although some authorities dispute this. Trinidad Scorpion averaged at 1.2 million Scovilles. Who needs pepper spray? "

Never grew or sampled either one before. We shall see if they live up to all the hype.

Good news for you. I am sure that these would be too hot for me, and certainly for my family as they can’t even take jalepeno heat.LOL
