Ghost peppers....how many do you use in the course of a year? And what do you use them for?
I stopped planting habaneros when my oldest boy moved out because he was the really, really hot pepper lover in the family. The youngest boy and I like jalapenos and other somewhat hot peppers, but I’ve hard the ghost peppers are insanely hot. But I might plant one in a container and give it to the oldest kid.
Ghosts ARE insanely hot... but if you can get past the heat, they have a good flavor. I put ONE in several quarts of salsa, and it is so good.
Even if your oldest likes habaneros, exercise extreme caution with the ghosts.
It’s a fifteen minute ride. 9 up 6 down. It continually gets hotter for 9 full minutes.
This is going to be my first year with the ghost peppers...they are allegedly the hottest pepper out there...Quaker Steak & Lube uses them for their insanely hot chicken wings, and requires you to sign a waiver to eat them. Lol. More of a marketing ploy, but those suckers are certainly insanely hot. I think it’s going to be fun to have a few plants of them this year.
I’m going to plant some to turn into powder and spread around the corn stalks and on the corn silks and tips of the husks. I’m thinking of spreading some around the area where the vegetables are
planted to keep away the critters and bugs who think the plants were put there for them. It worked last season when I spread chili powder on and around them. I’m going to shake some chili powder on the fire and hills to see what happens. I’m also spreading dried molasses where fire and hills are appearing.
