I will primarily be using this blog to track the progress of my Chile Garden.  2007 was my frist Chile Garden and featured very common peppers, mostly store bought plants, and a very small remnant of the ones I started from seed and killed with rookie mistake.  My Goal is HEAT.  I pride myself on the idea that something I grow can be too hot to eat, and I get especially happy when someone challenges me regarding heat, and then they can not eat the products from the garden.  I have learned that really hot peppers can be substituted for just about any pepper in any recipe to spice things up.  Speaking of recipes and spicing things up, Meal Planning is a great new way to make your life quite a bit simpler.  I can’t believe how much happier my family (especially my wife) has become since we started in with this new trend.
