Hey folks -- Don't whine about the weather. We Nodaks like to claim the
coldest places on the face of the continent. We've been about 20 below the
past few days, great time to eat chiles, we need all we can to warm up.
Getting ready to start new peppers in my south facing office window; right
above the heat radiator. Going to start some Thai dragons, Columbian
Rainbow and Pequins, and perhaps an Habanero or two.
Have a great Christmas.
