Exactly, I've been growing my own peppers for years, and drying them over the wood stove, then grinding them up in the blender to a powder, maybe roasting just a bit, and put in a shaker. But I got behind on that, and this past year I didn't hardly have a garden at all.
I did however plant some garlic last fall, which did fairly well, and have it broken up and drying, plus I've got another bunch planted already for next year. You can buy garlic at the grocery store for this, just whatever looks good, break all the cloves apart and plant it 2 or 3 inches deep, root side down. Throw a bunch of grass clippings or old leaves over it for mulch, and next summer have all ya want.
The kind you'll find in the stores are likely a better variety for longer storage, but nurseries will have numerous other types. At least with that you'll know where it grew at
