We mostly grow palms and trees in our farm but i've managed to stick in quite a few peppers. I don't know of any chile-heads here, so you can imagine how glad I am to be a part of this list! Here's to more recipe-swapping, seed-swapping and whatever else you do here on the list! >> Gabe, you are so welcomed to this list, can't wait to hear your stories on your plantation. Glad you are part of this list. Alda West Coast chile head Pyramid2@aol.com
