   This is the second year in a row that their seeds have given
me mixed results.  Off color (red, not orange) pods that are 
not elongated, on at least one plant each year.
   This year I also have one that has pods that are markedly 
lighter green compared to the others (off color or true).  They
are just starting to ripen, but so far they look true (pale orange).

   Yup, I have to agree.  It's not excess nitrogen, different pH,
botulism or TMV.  Gotta be the seeds.

Scott... at least they have good heat... KCK
