Yes my soil is quite good here - excellent drainage (no puddles), pH of 6.6, and all nutrient elements tested as very high. I have full sun and sit on top of a ridge at 2600 feet in the Blue Ridge mountains of southwestern Virginia, so the climate here is a bit cooler and drier than the coastal plain.
I put up 25 pints of hot sauce from my Serranos this year, probably a three year supply so I have been giving some away. I also have plenty of dried powdered peppers of several varieties, mostly Poblano, and have a half gallon each of crushed Serranos and Tabascos fermenting and will can these next month. Yesterday I picked the last half bushel of sweet peppers, a half bushel of Poblanos, and a quarter bushel of Serranos. Since I am up to my eyeballs in peppers I will give these away to local friends or the food bank.
Next year I plant less!
