I would like to express my concern about the development of no-heat 
habs.  Look at what has happened to jalapenos.  Here in the Roanoke 
Valley of Virginia, vendors  of seedlings don't know what they're 
selling, and two summers in a row I've ended growing low-heat jals.  
Bummer!  My one refuge for sure-fire peppers has been habs.  I'd hate to 
see the hab seedling market go the way of the jals.

A question: Should I be asking the greenhouse I buy from for a 
particular variety of jalapeno seedling?

A comment: From beer to bread and now to peppers, food merchandisers are 
intent on catering to the bland American palate.  Trying to develop a 
no-heat hab is like trying to figure out how to have sex without 
pleasure.
