I did the cross pollination by hand over the winter and saved the seeds that grew from that pepper.

Then I planted the seeds and grew out 8 F1 plants. This is the first one growing pods thanks to a visit from some local deer which set them back.

        Tbh, I like the flavor of some hot peppers, they’re really tasty. But those incredible hot ones are really nasty. I don’t judge, if people like to eat them, good for them. Though I have no idea how you tolerate them. It’d kill my gut microbiome and leave my colon asking for help…

            Ooooohhh! That’s cool! Yeah, you don’t need to use a ton of hot sauce, necessarily. Nice! :)
