Speaking of ripe chiles..... I walked the commercial fields the other day. We're picking cayennes like crazy & I expect that the habs (Red Savina(R), Chocolate, & Orange) will all be ready to pick by this week. That's about two weeks ahead of schedule in a good year. The Fatili's are producing great guns also. Had ripe Tepins in the open fields when last I looked. Probably covered up with rotten Morning Glory by now. Going to try to hit the field this coming week to clean it up a bit for you folks :-) Invitations going out shortly. -Jim C Mild to Wild(R)
