At Grow Hot Peppers, we’re here to celebrate your passion for chili peppers. 🌶
Our mission is to show you how to start growing peppers in containers so you can enjoy all the pepper varieties you love, even if you only have a small space to grow plants.
Hi, I’m Jenny and I run this site with my partner Jesse (you’ll meet us soon). Welcome! 😀
Besides growing peppers, we share spicy recipes, talk hot sauce, and provide gardening guides for veggies that compliment peppers in recipes.
What You’ll Find Here
- Deep dives into different types of chili peppers
- Gardening tutorials on growing peppers from seed to harvest
- Garden calculators to help manage your growing season
- Spicy recipes featuring hot peppers
- Hot sauce & spicy product reviews
- Growing microgreens and sprouts (delicious in salsas & tacos!)
Our Story
Grow Hot Peppers (GHP for short) was created when Jenny struggled with growing Habaneros in a small apartment patio. She found that most gardening tutorials focused on in-ground gardening or didn’t provide the step-by-step instructions that newbie gardeners really need to actually grow something. Jenny’s journey to growing thriving pepper plants — and later all kinds of plants — inspired her to help other would-be pepper growers facing similar challenges.
From these early days, Grow Hot Peppers now serves over 1,000 daily visitors who use our chili pepper guides to discover new varieties and grow the peppers they love.
Who We Are
Jesse and I are the team at GrowHotPeppers.com. Our content comes from our own growing experiences, our favorite spicy dishes, and being pepper enthusiasts — we know what it’s like to dedicate huge portions of the pantry and refrigerator to all those hot sauces, pepper powders, and spicy condiments that make food and drinks taste SO much better.
