A few years ago I sent ojo de pajaro chiles to several people on this
list. These chiles look not like a grain of rice but more like a while
black pepper.  Because cross polination is so prevalent, the chiles
don't always breed true. But when they do, I use one of the chiles to
season a pot of soup for 20 chile-heads or 200 cowards.

My wonderful hot jalapeno is now more than 7' tall and although we've
had cold weather and strong winds it continues to bear well. Every four
days I pick enough to make a quart of home pickled jalapenos from them.
Yum.
