Hi ChileHeads,
This year I've planted several peppers in a small raised square foot garden
area. All but the 2 bells were started from seed around the 1st of the
year. I lost the labels on some of them, so now I have 'mystery' peppers
growing along with my jalapenos, serranos, datils and habs. I'll describe
these 'mystery' peppers: they ripen to a beautiful bright yellow, like my
datils; they are short and squatty; are between 1 1/2" & 2" in dia at the
shoulders, but taper quickly to a rounded point about 1 1/2 - 2" below the
shoulder; they have that wonderful hab flavor; and are pretty potent in the
heat area; oops, forgot, the plants are about 5' tall so far, and have
largish, broad, flat leaves. Does anybody have an idea as to what they
might be?
Also, might be late, but to answer green, I have a small Braun coffee
grinder, given to me as a gift, that makes wonderful powder from dried
peppers. It has began leaking a little this year, so I have to grind my
chiles when the hubby isn't home. No problem. Thanks in advance for your
help.
