Hi Chile-heads, I'm one of the new subscribers. Lurking for about 2 wks now. This is a fascinating list. I am growing Anaheim chiles, Hungarian Wax, Jalapeno Grande and another variety of jalapeno that was given to me. Also have some wild chili pequins. I would like to make some salsa verde and can it. Does anyone have a receipe for salsa verde that you would share? The weather has been very hot(100's) and no rain for about 6 weeks. Also plenty of smoke from Mexico. My peppers don't seem to be suffering from the heat. They are still blooming prolificly and setting more fruit. I water frequently and mulch with pine needles. So far I've picked about 5lbs of Jalapeno Grandes.(6 plants) Should I leave the Anaheims on the bush untill they turn red for dry peppers? Is it ok to use a dehydrator to get them dry enough to make chile powder? Last year I pickled some peppers in vinegar and processed them like pickles. I don't know what variety. The plants were given to me. The peppers were 4" long and slender with thin walls. Will a thicker walled pepper like jalapeno stay firm? Thanking you in advance for any answers,help or suggestions other than "get off the list". I really enjoy reading the postings. Some are very informative. Some are crazed! Allen Bastrop Co.,Tx Zone 8
