Fellow Members of the MNOOTTT [Most Noble Order of the Torrified Tongue:
I'll unlurk long enough to make a few comments.
1. Tomato hornworms will feast on almost any member of the nightshade
family.If you can't locate the hornworm in order to sqush it[they can be
very hard to find], spraying with 'BT' [bacillus thuringensis] marketed
under the trade name 'Dipel' will do them in . BT/Dipel is effective
against all 'catterpiggles' & is quite safe for humans.
2. A friend provided us with some of the 'real stuff' that must be about
170 proof. As an experiment I put a whole pod of Charleston Hot' in about
a pint of it. Now, about a year later, this is a legacy bottle that only I
& a few choice friends sip from on special occasions.
3. Amen, Rael........ Bad as I hate to admit it, you said it better than I
could've!!!
Regards,
Gene
