- The hottest peppers I have ever tasted were the jalapenos I grew in
- the Lower Illinois Valley (Calhoun Co., IL). That's way north of the
- tropics and it rarely reached 95 that whole summer. They were much
- hotter than any jalapenos or serranos I grew in Tucson, where 95 would
- be a cool day in the summer.
