Hot Peppers
Peppers come in many varieties from sweet to hot. They form bushy plants with pendent fruit. They start out as green and ripen to yellow, then orange to red or purple. The hotness of the pepper is measured on a scale called the Scoville Scale. It measures the amount of capsaicin in the pepper. The higher the number, the hotter the pepper.
You can eat these fresh or use them in cooking. They can be dried or frozen for later use. Try a Chili String for hanging the dried peppers. The flowers will attract bees which help to pollinate the peppers.
