Don't the Tabasco people rotate their plantings of chile plants? Windrows
of pine sound pretty permanent. Does anyone know? Margaret L
I don't know if it will be repeated, but CNN News had a segment on the
hunkering
down at Avery Island for Hurricane Isadore. The Tabasco factory is designed to
handle 200 mph winds and the peppers are somewhat protected by pine windrows
planted 50 years ago. Seed was harvested and stored in a bank vault last week
when the first forecast came out. I don't have a clue as to how that was
done:-)
Production was stopped today and tomorrow, but they expect to be bottling
the stuff
on Friday.
