I grew Chile de Arbol in my garden last year and was not impressed. The

just buy dried de arbols. Has anyone tried growing chile japones? Are
they good, or a waste of time?

BTW, fresh Tabasco peppers are awesome.


Have you been successful with other chili peppers in your garden? Was
this a normal growing season for you, or extra cool, extra rainy, etc.?


Not the growing season that just ended a few weeks ago, the year before
that. The other chiles did OK -- and these did too but just weren't
worth the trouble. There's not much meat on a de arbol pepper, and it
didn't have much taste except hot, and the heat was not really
extraordinary.
