Greg:
I do not see the point in a mild habanero. If you do not want that much
heat, then select one of the HUNDREDS of other pepper varieties that have
less heat., or use less habanero period. I hate it when I go to a restaurant
and order "poppers" and there is NO heat whatsoever in them.(Arby's is a
good example of this). Then there is the problem of picking up plants at a
nursery, thinking you bought hot peppers than 2 months later when they are
ripe, you are disappointed, if not downright mad. Glad I have my own
greenhouse and can raise my own plants from seed. If you can't stand the
heat, get out of the pepper patch!
