Hello all,
My name is Greg. Beaker is the name of my Moluccan Cockatoo. For those of you who don't know anything about parrots, Beaker can eat a whole Habanero like an apple and want a second. Its not so easy for me, but I still love them. A Serrano is a light snack for her :)
I became a hot food addict from hanging around with people from Africa and South America in college (hot and spicy isn't a well known flavor in Minnesota :) ), and about ten years ago when I found out that my bird loved hot peppers, I started growing them on my deck. Now I'm an addicted grower.
One thing led to another and now I'm totally obsessed with gardening. I had a small grow room in my basement with two 600 watt HPS lights, which I've now torn down to expand to a 10x15 room. I've been doing ebb & flo tables in there for a couple years, growing all kinds of different vegetables, and even some catnip for our cats!
I grow habaneros, serranos, jalapenos, anchos, and bells in my outdoor garden every year. After a few moments reading the grow forum here I've realized that I have been missing the boat in terms of varieties I should be trying.
I hope to spend some time hanging our here and sharing and learning with the other avid gardeners!
