John: Now this is the time of the year to plant.
Adam: Is it now? Not in Texas!
John: Well, actually this will be fine in Texas too. This is a site, it’s called the “Chile Pepper Institute”, it is run out of New Mexico State University, and they sell over a hundred varieties of hot chile seeds. I think the seeds are pricier than I’d like, around 5 bucks a pack. Lots of scorpion peppers, all kinds of screwball peppers you’ve never had. They claim the seeds are all very viable, so when you plant these seeds they’re gonna grow.
I would recommend planting some chiles. and they have a lot, but not something like the Carolina Reaper, for example. That’s a tough one.
You can find the website here. Click on the store and knock yourself out.
Adam: What is the best way to plant your chiles?
John: They have all kinds of information on the site. They grow like a tomato. If you know how to grow a tomato plant you can grow these peppers. Get some of those seedling pots and put them in the window and get the thing started. Once it gets started you got it made.
Adam: So you grow it indoors, not outdoors?
John: You could! But I would start it indoors and then take it outdoors. Or you can plant it outdoors if you can keep it so it germinates. Got to make sure it germinates.
Adam: Make sure you germinate your peppers everybody!
