Hey all, First thing - gotta love it when the list comes alive. Gourmet salsa boy - thanks for the spark! (and I'll drop you a note with my address later for the free salsa *g*) Second - I have germination starting for this years peppers! Most are a bit slow, but the seeds I dried out of a scotch bonnet from the grocery are going gangbusters, and some of the purples that Blue so graciously sent me from Hawaii (thank you again!) are up. The packaged seeds are slower, but the seeds are two years old - only one serrano peeking its head up so far. Okay so maybe my life it scary sometimes, but I am way psyched to watch my garden forming (in my den, but forming nonetheless). The tomatoes, tomatillos and basil have already been transplanted once! yay.... One question - do peppers lose some of their heat after being frozen? I made a blend out of the remaining peppers in my freezer (toaster over at 200F for a day to dry them then into the coffee mill). The taste is great, but for the amount of habs its not that crazy hot. Just wondering. off to mist the seedlings, Suzanne -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- ...if that which thou seek thou find not within thee, thou will never find it without thee." -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
