Amen to that.
Without you and your efforts Jim, we this event
wouldn't occur. Through the years you have provided a
venue for folks to meet new friends, share chiles and
chile ideas....
Again, from the peanut, errr... pod gallery, I applaud
you.
As far as plants go...I didn't get to pick much due to
my bad knees and all the mud. But, bulgarian carrots
looked awesome this year. I'd like to see the mutant
jalapenos return. Perhaps more cherry or hot cherry
peppers.
There was one pepper I'd like to find out about. I've
seen it for several years running out in the fields.
I didn't get a chance to pick any, but from the edge,
I noticed a long row of this pepper smack dab in the
middle of the field...just over top of the
hill...almost smack dab in the middle and middle row.
It's a red pepper, size is about 1.5" to 2" long, cone
shaped, smooth, thick walled. Very much like a fresno
or chicken heart shape....or, even a black czech...but
it's red, not black. There was a long row of them
this year and I wanted to pick some.
But, I'm curious about it's name.
Thanks
Ted
