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.

Thanks
Linda
