Hey all:
Well, thanks to Big Tom, I am now an official card-carrying Chile head.
Number 2124, to be exact. Thanks, Tom!
My babies are starting to rear their pretty little heads above the seed
raising mix. The seed leaves of the lilac cayenne have a beautiful lilac
tinge. I thought they had green leaves. I can't wait for them to grow so
I can see them! The habanero, guajillo and long slim cayenne have also
sprouted and the mulato is pretty close. All the other seeds are still
thinking about it. As I'm germinating them all at ambient temperatures
and it's been overcast and showery the last few days (much like the
summer some of you are having <g>), the poor babies are probably
thinking it's much nicer in their nice warm seed coats. Despite that,
gonna set a few more varieties out this weekend, unless we go skiing.
But my possum-rescued plants couldn't be happier! They're merrily
setting fruit, which appears to be growing a warp factor 9. The
jalapenos and the habaneros especially are going to be full of lovely
peppers come late spring.
Tara
