The last time we grew habaneros they did great! They were the orange type and we probably got 40 peppers from two or three plants. We had so many we threw them in the compost because they were too darn hot! I'm guessing it's probably our difference in climate.
The first time I tried a habanero we thought it was a bell pepper! Ma brought it in and asked what we thought it was. We all thought that it was a little stunted bell pepper or something. I remember somebody mentioning that it could be "one of those hot ones that we planted." I hesitated a while. "Only one way to tell." So I stuck the whole thing in my mouth and chewed it really fast. At first I was like "It's a bell pepper." Because the heat takes a while to set in. I must have drank a gallon of milk, still didn't go away completely for a few hours...
