Hello from NE Ohio

New to forums but been growing veggies for 20 years. Really into tomatoes, peppers and beans. I love old time heirloom tomatoes but have quite a few newer ones too. I love growing super hot peppers but rarely eat them, I am a wuss when it comes to the heat levels. :D I run a small seed shop. I am in the process of erecting a 24 x 45 hoop house. I am a huge fan of mutant peppers and have some pretty rare ones in my collection. And I am a tomato and pepper seed addict. :lol:

Welcome Forgottenheirlooms.

May I rate your addiction?

In your collection...

Tomatoes - 1,000 varieties, do you have more or less?
Peppers - 500 varieties, do you have more or less?
Beans - 250 varieties, do you have more or less?

You get a free pass if your answer is yes to all three, but you have no idea how many you really have. ;)

Welcome!

Good to have you.

If you ever need to tone down the heat on a dish, try melting some cheese into it! You might be surprised how well it works. Cheese tastes great with hot peppers, too.

A hoop house sounds fun.

Welcome, if you don't eat the hot peppers what do you do with them. I grow more than I can eat and give away bunches, at least I do when I get to have a garden.

I do eat some. But most get ground into powder for consumption and selling. I give some away, and I sell small boxes of pods.
