Saturday Dad and I stopped at Meadow View Farm and Bowers Inn after my
didjeridoo workshop in West Reading, PA.  Unfortunately, I could not get
Dad out of the car to see the Farm.

I was very surprised to see an empty, but plowed field where the chiles
should be.  I think that whatever the Farm doesn't sell by a certain date
probably goes out in the field.  I forgot to check the perennials but I
went through the greenhouses.

First I grabbed two pretty red and white striped Salvias.  The first
greenhouse is for herbs.  I got two Lemon Grass plants (only a couple more
remain for sale).  I also got one lemon and one lime basil.  There were two
greenhouses of Chiles.  Loads of species I had not heard of.  Sold out were
the Chocolate Habs.  So I had to settle for Cappuccino Hab and Jamaican Hot
Chocolate.  In addition, I got a Lemon Drop and a Fatali.  There were a
couple kinds with purple leaves so I decided to try one.  The one I chose
was a De Arbol.

I also got a bunch of dried chile peppers on stalks.  They are in a vase in
the bathroom, next to the chile soaps.

In the last greenhouse were the flowers.

Bowers Inn only had some unknown red sauce and pickled jalapenos.

I picked up a bag of Bickel's Jalapeno Flavored Potato Chips while in
Reading.  Not much heat, pretty salty but not greasy.

A couple Red Savina seedlings are barely surviving.  Several of the older
chiles are suddenly sprouting like crazy.  One of my African Violets died.
Crown rot or someone dropped something on it.

Yours in heat
