My chile backstory...

[GrumpyBear]

Hi everyone! I'm a chilehead who finally got sick of the lousy pepper selection generally available a couple years back and started growing my own. I started with just one in case i had a black thumb, a caribbean red hab and really felt that was all i needed as he always kept me in wonderful little morsels of heat.
Sadly my poor hab was brutally murdered this passed year by horrible little aphids of death (oh but i got them good for that). But one door closes and another opens as i decided to grow a bunch of new varieties (and a descendant of my hab...) now that i know how easy and fun it is to grow peppers.
I always meant to join a forum but never really got around to it, but now i have a question so that kinda forced my hand. I was gonna type my question here but this post somehow got really long so i'll just start a new thread for that. So, check out the 'growing hot peppers' forum for the thrilling conclusion!

I think those monsters gave him a virus b/c he really looked like he was going to make it after i terminated those aphids with extreme prejudice.
Glad to be here tho!

Welcome from Cincinnati. I share your bitter hatred of aphids, though for some reason I never had to deal with them in the garden - only plants I was trying to grow or overwinter upstairs.

Hey GrumpyBear, just wodering how the Goji berry growing is going for you? I've been growing them for a few years but still no berries yet. Always excellent germination on these.
