Growing Hot Pepper Plants In Your Garden

Hot pepper plants are easy to grow in your garden. You can grow a variety of peppers including hot and mild peppers, as I have both in my garden, growing among the tomatoes, cucumbers and all my other growing garden plants. I do not use any chemicals, to keep my garden organic. I create my own garden fertilizer using compost bins in my yard. Any green waste, from my yard I collect and place it in the compost bins.

I initially started growing hot pepper plants using planters, but have since moved them into my garden. I heard stories that peppers were difficult to grow, but I was lucky and did not have any problems in maintaining a successful garden with my favourite organic produce in my backyard.

Apart from hot pepper plants, I now grow mild pepper plants, to increase the variety in my garden. After I collect all my peppers, I place them in jars, making my own varieties of pickled peppers. I add cut cucumbers and unripened green tomatoes, with plenty of salt and lemons from my lemon trees.

I make a number of jars, full of pickled peppers, that I give some away to my neighbours, friends and relatives. I have separate jars for hot peppers and mild peppers as some people do not like hot pepper, while other people specifically request for hot peppers. I now have people asking me if my pickled peppers are ready. I seem to have built a reputation in my neighbourhood for quality pickled peppers!

Whenever we have a family get together, a social event or a dinner party, there is always plenty of peppers and other produce from my garden. I love garden fresh produce, as I can taste all the natural flavours, as I can pick it and place it on my meals on the same day.
