That looks good! If its not a secret what's all in it? We grow a lot of peppers but something about the soil or the hard water makes them unbearably hot. 

It's not a secret at all. I came up with this through years of trial and error. I had no idea how to make hot sauce. When I first started making hot sauce I pretty much just ground the peppers up in the blender with enough vinegar to liquify it, then I added some salt, boiled it in a pot, then poured it into bottles. Usually I used recycled hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, the little wine bottles, etc. to put it in. When I read the ingredients on hot sauce bottles they all said "vinegar, peppers, salt", so that's what I used. 

I still use the same 'gredients but I do it a little different now. I cook the peppers in a crock pot with vinegar, salt, and minced garlic until it's pretty much mush. THEN I liquify them with a blender, adding more vinegar if needed to get it to the right consistency.  Zina has a hand held blender that's like a small outboard motor and I liquify it right in the crock pot. I think it's a 12 horsepower. Then I strain it before I bottle it, so there's no "pulp" in it. And I use new bottles instead of recycling old ones. It's different every year because I never have the same amount of the same peppers. Last year I used cayennes, tabascos, jalapenos, the little red super hot ones, and Serrano's. 

But that's how I make it, I pick the peppers and put them in the freezer until they're all picked, then I make the sauce, and cowboy candy with some of the jalapenos.

All I've planted so far is some potatoes and onions. The onions came up good and are looking pretty good too.

The potatoes don't seem to be doing much.
