Fellow lovers of the pod,
I've been away from the list for a while and am happy to return. I've always
found the list to be a terrific source of information and an enjoyable way
to mesh with other capsicum lovers. I have an information request I was
hoping you all may be able to help me out with.
I'm writing my thesis on the development of a mild habanero pepper and its
economic impacts to the salsa industry. As such, there are two areas I'm
looking for assistance in. First, I'm very interested in obtaining
information about the economic impacts the development of the TAM Jalapeno-1
pepper had. Mainly I'd love to get information on Jalapeno sales prior to
and after its release. I've contaced Pace to see if they have
non-proprietary information they could share but they have yet to
respond...big surprise. Anything anyone can provide would be of great
assistance.
Second, I know that many hard-core chileheads oppose the development of mild
cultivars. I'm pretty neutral on the subject personally but would love to
have some feedback from people opposed to the development as to why they
feel the way they do. I don't think there is a right or wrong here I'm just
looking for opinions on this topic.
Pulled up my garden after the first hard freeze last night along the front
range of Colorado. Kind of a depressing day for me pulling out all of my
peppers. Glad to be back on the list and I appreciate any and all responses.
You can reply to the list or to me directly. Thanks again,
Greg Jensen
