    My grandmother always planted the last weekend of May, we planted 300 tomato plants more than a few years.

    Peppers take a long time to get fruit. You need to start then inside. The hotter they are, the longer they take to grow.

    I agree though, don't put it in the garden unless you have a green house until May.

    Those Etna's will be hot! 65000 scoville units is over several times hotter than Serrano peppers are. Those are typically the hottest I cook with.

    I've been known to make my venison jerky with ghost chili pepper powder though. Probably not this year as my seeds for the ghosts went bad from last fall. I'd have to find started plants.

    The O.C. was very good along with the London Broil off the grill with smashed potatoes with peas.

    That sounds like some fun, especially if you get some gold.

    A friend just gave us some killer ghost pepper sauce, made from the # 3 pepper on the list above. Some fresh haircut hair around the garden,for the deer, and small tins with beer (some members will be really angry wasting beer) but it will attract the slugs and they'll drown so to speak. Now is a great time to start indoors, and we wait until mother's day to transferr outside in our paticular zone. Good luck........ perfect oppertunity to begin canning too with high yeilds!

    Real peperoncini are 100-500 scoville units. So, pretty mild on the scale. Like wood btu scales, they are not all encompassing. This one pretty complete. Plus, if you get past jalapeno, then serrano, and then habanero, it just starts getting crazy. 1 ghost pepper in a 10+ qt crock pot of chili will make it inedible for most people. image.jpg
