I can imagine that you are super proud - I am proud of you as well. Congratulations. I read your post eagerly because I've grown bell peppers from seeds but not hot peppers from seeds or plant.
I just received Scotch bonnets seeds from my mom. They travelled all the way from Florida. Now I will be more daring to try. I will be growing from seeds. Maybe I will wait until next spring to start though.
It is great that you make your own hot pepper sauce. I do too but with store bought peppers. I vinegar for a longer storage but I will try your method next time. Thank you.
Its all in what you enjoy most ofcourse. I dont like the vinegar taste as it tends to be bery present I have noticed. But for others this doesnt matter at all.
I wpuld love to try to grow them from seeds as well. This would surely be somethingto start in the winter time as they grow slow initially and can go outside in spring time.
How was the bell pepper growing? Is it doable and do you get enough fruits from it compared to the amount of effort?
Ok great - I will plant them during winter and see how they develop.
The bell peppers grew well and easily. The first time I did it - I just used seeds from AH bought peppers. My expectations were low but I had a big surprise. The plants thrived and I had many peppers. I brought the plants indoors as there were still many peppers on the tree. It is definitely worth the effort.
The yield this yield is less due to the rainy weather but I am still happy and grateful.
