Luke,
   Hope you'll bear with me 'cause I've learned a lot of e-mail shorthand
but what's FWIW & VOC's. Sorry to here you Aussie's are hurting your
environment (as we in the Northern Hemisphere try to repair it). Around my
area landfills (read depressions that municipalities decided to fill with
toxic waste that leeches into ground water that they pump out of wells
located nearby to citizens that are paying to remove toxic waste from there
homes & paying to pump well water back into their homes as  "clean" water)
are closing daily & recycling takes over (see L.B. maybe we can convert the
world!!!!).
     Picked that first red pepper (Super Chile) & split it down the middle
to share with my C-H neighbor. The "BURN" was perfect but dissipated after
only 20 minutes (and an ice cold beer). Miss Dewi's Christmas was tried
earlier this week & I take umbrage to Cross Country Nurseries classification
as medium heat level. I know I'm only a minor league knuckle-dragger when it
comes to hot peppers but these mothers sting!!! All 12 seedlings (sorry/now
plants-you know how it is with our children/will always think of them as
sprouts-no matter how many years we overwinter them) are goin' nuts (read
12/20 peppers on each plant & enough buds to choke a hornworm) so if anyone
doesn't have this baby & would like to try fresh & keep seeds for next year
E-Mail me privately and we'll work something out (lookin' for seeds for next
year). Or e-mail Miss Dewi (Davy?) directly ( chilechick19@worldmail.nl ) or
at her website (http://www.chilechick.tmfweb.nl/)  & I'm sure she'll send
you some seeds (as she did for me).
      After checking plants tonite', know I'm gonna' have a bumper crop of
El Grande,
                  Paul (The NorthEast ChileMan)
