Everyone -


Rain - beautiful tofu recipes! Thank you!

David Cook - have any of your baccatums come up? I'm not having much luck with the seeds you sent.

ChileWoman - All the Siling Labuyo and 75 percent of the Tohono D'oodham have come up! Thank you so much! Can't wait for the plants!

Calvin - What temp do you usually keep for germination of your Tepins and Chiltepins? I tried for two weeks at about 75 degrees F and then moved to an area of 85 to 105 degrees F (all temps are as measured in air). Approx 1/3 have come up since the increase, so it would seem the seeds weren't necessarily hurt by the lower start.

Tough Love Dave - The 6-4s and Big Jims virtually erupted after one week in starter! The Peters also sprang right up (but maybe they are supposed to?) and the Tricolored Variegated all came up - you da man!

And to Uncle Steve - that smoked habanero powder is too f@#kin good! Got any more?

Thanks to all,
