    Yellow lavender! It’s more “spicy” than normal lavender and is great for cooking.

    I also grow my own peppers, mostly Thai and Jalapeño, because I can choose when to pick them and adjust the watering schedule depending on how hot I want them.

      Yellow lavender? Huh, never heard of it, gonna look it up, thanks!

      How does the hotness level depend on the watering? The less water the hotter the pepper?

        That what I’ve heard and I’ve had one season experience with. We moved mid-summer so my peppers got neglected and they ended up tiny but very spicy. I’ve also heard that less water during fruiting means more spice. This will be my first year in controlled conditions so take the above with a grain of salt.
