Growing your own chili peppers has turned out to be pretty easy. I built several raised garden beds (very easy to make) and use one bed for assorted peppers. For the soil we used a mix of composted steer manure, some clean top soil, forest compost, and potting mix.
We plant both seeds and starter plants around the beginning of to mid April and are able to start harvesting by mid to late July.

Conversion From Fresh to Dried and Ground

Drying your own chili peppers is a great way to have chili peppers available year round. Dried chilies are also a good way to create your own ground chili powder or pepper/spice blends. We usually sun dry an assortment, then freeze them, but there are times when the weather just doesn’t co-operate so we use an electric dehydrator.
Remove the stems and the green at the stem end before drying to reduce chances of mold.
When grinding dried peppers be sure to use a covered container, and allow the dust to settle before opening.
