Hello, my name is Ian young and I have a pepper problem. It all started as a young child, when I first tried my dads hot sauce and salsa. I fell in love, and from that time on I had to try all things pepper, and the peppers got hotter and hotter. For the past 4 years I have been growing peppers in my large garden. Some how I keep getting more and more pepper plants, this year I am up to  55 total. So you could say I like peppers, now lets get this blog started.

Welcome to the exciting world of mild to hot peppers! Is your food seeming a little bland, think it needs a little kick, a extra something? Well try some peppers, I would be willing to bet its that little something you where looking for. Peppers come in all heat ranges, from sweet to super hot, so even if you do not like the heat so much, there is a pepper for you. My own passion in life is mild to super hot peppers, the hotter the better in my book. In my blog I will be focused on mainly hot peppers, but I may from time to time talk about a sweeter pepper, as I like them also, but they are not as fun as the really hot peppers.

Not only do peppers taste good, they are super fun to grow as well. If you grow them from seed, you get to care for them for a good 7-10 months. You get to see them grow each day, from a little sprout inside your house, to a full grown plant that is full of peppers. I can not put into words how good of a feeling this is, to see mother nature at work, right before you eyes. After the growing is done, you get to harvest the peppers, this is where the real fun starts. There is a number of ways to preserve your harvest, so really the sky is the limit. One could make hot sauce, salsa, pepper powder, pepper flakes, to name a few. This is a great way to save money, as some of these products in the store are very pricey.
