At one time ghost peppers were considered the hottest pepper variety. Today that status is given to the Carolina Reaper. Nonetheless, ghost peppers are definitely hot–far hotter than habaneros. I decided to grow some this year, but in the potting, repotting, and planting, I completely lost track of which pepper plants are the ghost peppers. Unfortunately, they look a lot like the habaneros. Now I’m fearful that if I cut up a pepper for my soup, it will be one of the ghost peppers.
I consider myself an aficionado of hot peppers, but I am not a masochist. So why did I grow them? Because I occasionally do stupid stuff.
