Matt,
Haven't made any powders this year yet. Been a terrible growing year for me
although will have 'plenty' of pods frozen by wintertime. Just a small
backyard container gardener here. My 3rd year C. pubs are doing the worst
and am most probably going to go to a two year growing & replanting from
seed cycle on them.
A little early for seed trading still. MarvL (one of these links should
work): http://www.fototime.com/5427A93CAB8700A/conv.wmv
http://www.fototime.com/5427A93CAB8700A/orig.mpg is in charge of CTCPC seed
distribution this year. Although I haven't done my part much (bagging or
isolating plants for pure seed) there is going to be more than plenty vars
available.
Finally back from shopping for meatball ingredients. Some were really hard
to find (RisaG) and will be making some substitutions. Really anxious for
Saturday to arrive so can start smoking them. Kinda a warm-up for O.F.
cooking.

JohnT --
Are you still making those powders from pickled chiles? The powders I
tasted last winter were absolutely exceptional -- powdered hot sauce!
I intended to try and make some myself this summer, but there wasn't
much of a garden to speak of, unfortunately. Hopefully, the next
house will have as much garden space as this house....and, more
importantly, hopefully I'll have more time next season.
Is it time to start trading seeds yet?
