Hi, Matt. I must admit that those lil' guys look lethal. Very pretty, if
deadly!
Thing is, I'm not growing SB's; though you can find a broad array of pepper
plants in nurseries around here, I've yet to see a Bonnet, either orrange or
red. I have a fruit and veggie market not too far drom me that carries just
about any kind of fruit and veggie you can imagine, see, and it caters to a
clientele comprised largely of folks from the Carribean - that's where I
bought 'em. It's where I get my jerk paste and some of the hottest
fruit-based table sauces that have ever burned a hole through your tongue.
Just assumed that they'd be an 11 on a ten scale. D'oh!
I do, however, have 5 orange hab plants, among other things, so I should be
good to go pretty soon, thank heavens. I'll just stick to pico de gallo and
my standard repertoire of chilpotle-based cooked salsas til then. Besides,
the Michigan peaches will be appearing in the farmers markets here
concurrent with my now-tiny habs ripening, and peaches are soooooooooooo
much easier (and less dangerous) to cut up than mangos. ;o)
Thanks for the advice. I'll keep your red guys in mind.
