We generally grow three varieties of hot peppers -- Hungarian Wax, Jalapeno, and cayenne. They are ready to buy and be used for salsas and other spicy dished by mid August.
The seeds are NOT the hottest part of peppers. It is at the point where the seed is attached to the white membrane inside the pepper that the highest concentration of capsaicin (the compound giving peppers their pungent flavor) is found.
Did you know that hot peppers eaten three times a week can eliminate cancer cells? (always check with your doctor before starting home remedies)
