Thanks Sandy! Great, but I still have a hard time finding any peppers. I grew some this year but used them as fast as they came in. I have only Bolivian Rainbows and Prairie Fire available, which we container grow, and brought inside. (We are bordering on first frost anyday.) More coming under the hydroponics light though! I will try that when I have some then. Even the jalapenos we find here are muted, mild. Bred for Ontarian palettes.
