[CH] Twisted In Wisconsin

First I hope no one on my mailing list ended up having problems with that
email virus last week. Evidently, when I opened the message the worm sent
out a random number of emails with random subject and attachment titles to
random people in my address book. I would like to find the guy that writes
these things and coat his *ong with the DaBomb ( and hope he's not a CH and
enjoys it).
Next I wondering if anyone else has had any interesting results with seeds
they traded for. This is not a complaint and I appreciated all the trades
that people made with me. But I have had some surprises. I have a Yellow
Squash pepper that is long, thin and really twisted. George G.'s post about
the rare Twister(tm) variety from S&M farms kinda made me wonder if this
pepper wasn't the one. Maybe instead of caging it I should handcuff it to a
stake and whip it in to submission. Then there's the Peter Peppers which are
started out erect. I mean they are growing straight up. NO I didn't use
Viagra in the garden and maybe this is the way they start. My Hot Wax
peppers are doing the same thing then kinda droop after a while. Or maybe
its the women next door. I also have an Italian Cherry pepper that looks
suspiciously like a Paprika and a very pointy, dark dark Cubanelle. Not all
of the plants started with these seeds turned out to be oddballs and the
one's that did will just make this year's garden more interesting.
