After having been out of circulation for nearly a year, I finally
re-subscribed to the digest. It's good to see many of the same familiar
names and all the new 'faces'.
I've been off the list, but not off the chiles. I have some Super
Cayennes, a couple of Habs, a Jalapeño or two, some unspecified Vietnamese
chiles given to me by a friend of a friend that over-wintered quite well
(we had a mild winter). New this year are a Fresno (it's been a couple of
years and I'd forgotten how much I like them) and about 10 Caribbean Reds
my wife brought home as seedlings from trials her company (Pan-American
Seed) ran.
Jim, this year, after using info from your Jamaican page, the chiles in the
garden are outstripping the ones in pots. Thank You!! Amazing what 100
lbs of gypsum and a 'ton' of humus can do.
Brent, that Dedo de Moça is in it's third year. It's not looking real well
this year, but I did get some seed stock last year. It's the only one of
my plants that survived the devastating freeze of a couple of years
ago. If you'd like me to replenish your supply, drop me a line.
The big news is this, a local Chinese take-out finally started making
General Tsao's Chicken. Life is good!
