	I have been reading different articals from your page for several
months now and I have found a lot of useful information.  I have only
really been into hot foods for a year or so, and I never would have
guessed at all the flavors I was missing by isolating myself from
peppers.  	

	Anyway, this spring I started a pepper garden using the meager seed
supplies in my area (Rochester, MN).  And I managed to work up
Habaneros, Volcano, Cayenne, and Thai and a bunch of others that I never
got around to planting.  I am working on a hydroponic setup, but I found
my checking account suddenly dry after buying about 2/3 of the stuff I
need.  The hydro part will have to wait until tax time or maybe I'll win
the lotto.  At any rate the focus of this letter is determining what
type of Thai pepper I have.  When I bought them, they were seedlings and
had a little plastic flag labeled "THAI HOT PEPPERS" hard to tell
whether they are "Thai Hot" peppers or "Thai" hot peppers.  From what I
have gathered, Thai Hots are supposed to max out at about 12" in height,
but these plants are currently 35" and big enough to hug.  The fruit is
very hot in my opinion.  Let me say this though, I had six plants, all
but one of them recieved Miracle Grow Tomato every day for the first
month.  The one that didn't started flowering at about 12-14", while the
others didn't until they hit nearly 30" (they achieved blossoms at the
same time).

	So my question is, are these Thai Hots, or some other type of Thai? 
Was it the Miracle Grow that made the size difference?

			Anyway, Thanks for spending
