Hot peppers have their place -- in someone else's garden! ; )
I generally grow some heat, but not the super hot peppers. I like Anaheims, Poblanos, and even a few milder Jalapenos. Those last ones are great smoked and really good for making chili or a pot of beans or black-eyed peas super tasty without being too hot.
The spring weather here in Oregon's Willamette Valley is generally so cool and wet. If I transplant peppers the last week of May or first week of June, my plants catch up with the ones people put out weeks earlier. I get more benefit from extending the autumn season than pushing the spring.
Happy garden planning!
