QuoteWhen picking them use rubber gloves. Ask me how I know.

Ask Smoking Duck about his experience not wearing rubber gloves. ;D ;D ;D

Is that something like "Do a little Dance ......."

Hi Manxman,
Try going into the Scoville scale, that will give you the hottest chillies on the planet, hope his helps.

Let's just say that I felt like I moved with grace but I'm quite sure it more mimicked the dance of a chicken whowe head had just been removed. The south 40 was on fire for quite some time.

O chee mama !!! The south 40? I guess you won the Mexican Hat dance on dancing with the chillies...

SD,

I did a similar "Faux Pas" with some Jalapenos a while back. I was doing up some ABT's, and who would think..., had a couple of frosty cold beverages while preparing them. Next thing I know, mother nature is calling, and STUPID here just went about his business without so much as rinsing in cold water first. AYYY Carumba :o :o :o I can't even begin to imagine doing that with a pepper that ranks a bit higher on the scoville scale. That experience leaves a lasting impression.

Yup... and when the heat hits... you get that "deer in the headlights" look!

Then it comes to you... Doh! ::)

Not that it's ever happened to me! ;D

Mike,
Everyone does it once sooner or later. Not too many do it twice. ;D

If u want seeds try this outfit out. I have been getting seeds there for years. You will find very interesting ones. As far as i know they do not have email adress.

They will send you a Catalogue. They even have "Bhut Jolokia" or Ghost Pepper which is the Hottest Pepper in the World at 970,000 Scoville units. Which is hotter than the Habanero & Scotch Bonnet.

I would also love to grow my own chillies, but as my time is limited lately, i'm seriously considering the AeroGarden. I've been thinking about getting one for a while now, Costco do a good deal on them so maybe?

I know a good few members here own the AeroGarden, so i wondered, can you use your own seeds with them, or do they have to be the special pods?

I remember walking out to our backyard in Florida....was so impressed with myself for growing hot chilli pepper...I didn't know what the hell a "Naga" was...but they were lovely....then I pulled one off the plant...took a bite...screamed...ran inside....my poor husband was on the phone...and I ran around the house screaming..."Oh my God"...."Oh my God" for a good 5 minutes before I went to the milk option....didn't help...then just cursing and such...It's a life lesson....I'm really ok now... ??? ??? :o

You can use your own seeds for sure. Ann grows peppers and all sorts of goodies in the Aero Garden. They actually have a kit to get you started on growing your own seeds. If you have any questions give me a shout and we can help you out LS. Here in Alaska during the winter it sure is nice to pick tomatoes, peppers and herbs right out of the garden and use them.

It would also be nice to grab a few kings out of the river when you need them also. ;)
