>>1073230Where I live, everything from a grassy yard to the forest floor has flowering plants all season long. There's no deficit of food for them.
>>1073225Eating hot peppers for a long time means you don't get the spiciness for low level peppers. If you stop eating hot peppers for a long time it'll come back. I have habanero, naga jolokia, and Trinidad moruga scorpion peppers. I consider everything from a wax pepper/jalapeno and below to be a sweet pepper since I can't detect spiciness in them at all anymore. I even made cinnamon-pepper candy using the Trinidad moruga scorpion peppers one year. It was pretty good (reposted pic).
For many people, the burning sensation outdoes mouth feel so they don't notice things like corking or even the subtleties of the pepper's flavor. If you eat hot peppers all the time, you pickup on these things very quickly. Making salsa with a bunch of corked jalapenos is kind of disgusting.
>>1073211I have some jalapenos in the garden right now. They are a long ways from being ripe though. I'm more eager for the cayenne peppers than anything else really. I really like their flavor. Hungarian wax is also a really good one for drying, crushing, and using as a seasoning.
