Damn!!! Got got night before last. Hard frost in Illinois in May. Rocotos es mort. Sh*t. Also all but one of the cherry bombs that of all the pepper seed that Ms. Dewi sent. Double sh!t. That's what I get for trying to jump the season, I guess. But, in 63 years this is the latest frost that I have in my memory banks. Rats ... and small mice. I guess my container garden will be store bought serranos (from my favourite grocer who still chilli grinds chuck for me - to order) and the one tough Hot Cherry Bomb that gave the finger to the frost. I hope everyone else has better fortune. -- ENJOY!!! -------- UNCLE DIRTY DAVE'S KITCHEN -- Home of Yaaaaa Hooooo Aaahhh!!!
