    Great video John!
    I agree growing peppers is a lot cooler than tomato’s!
    I grow and eat hot peppers and do hot pepper reviews.
    A little info though. The seeds are not what make the pepper hot; it’s the
    placenta and the oils created by the placenta.

    Well,tomatoes are more expensive than peppers and taste better.Peppers are
    actually toxic,like all nightshade plants the higher the Scoville level the
    higher the toxicity.Our bodies are resistant to some extent.Eating habanero
    or Jolokia(ghost pepper) daily will damage your stomach lining and other
    health problems will occur also.It varies in the amount you eat and from
    person to person.Workers in garlic and chilli pepper mills develop asthma
    and respiratory disease also.Tomatoes are just harder to grow and
    maintain,that is why you choose peppers instead,John, haa.I know because I
    tried too.Tomatoes get disease easier than any other plant,and deformed
    harvest too.
