Well, I guess I learned my lesson about stumbling around in the garden after a long, hot
day at work, while still wearing my cluncky steel toed shoes. I could almost hear half of
the list cheering as I discovered the small plant, which I must have accidentally kicked off
right at ground level. The victim: a Bosland developed heatless Jalapeno, from seed sent by
the Chile Pepper Institute a year or two ago. At least it was one of the very few that this
could have happened to without me shedding moderate little tears. Still have another one in
the ground, still have a pound or two of regular Jals. in the freezer, and you can still get
Jals.... oh, like ANYWHERE. So no big loss I guess, except for my time and efforts watching
them grow (though very slowly, almost gave up on getting anything from them anyway).
I was going to say may el grande have mercy on me, but considering the variety, maybe this
is worth some good chile-karma.

How's that quote go: "Sometimes big feet... just means fewer chiles"?
