Ah grasshopper - as we travel the road of life we often find ourselves at a fork in the road. As we choose a path and then look back we see that some options that were available to us had we taken the other road are no longer ours to choose. This is not the fault of the builder of the road. It is then our task to smooth for ourselves the path we have chosen without sitting down in the middle of it and demanding it be changed for us while blocking the path to all other travellers. Thus, recipients of the digest who find within postings that displease them, if not granted the option of the delete key, may still choose not to read that which they find objectionable. On another - chile related topic. Can anyone tell me who my serrano is losing its leaves? It sites in full sun, get adequate food and water and has no visible pests crawling around on it nor evidence that pests were there. (No aphids or aphid dung, no spiderwebs it can see, etc.) The plants keeps trying to put out new leaves but doesnot seem to get really far. The result is a few scrawny leaves and a lot of stem. Ideas? Suggestions? Peace, love and peppers Lorraine
