Greetings CHers,
Keep up the banter. For those digest-mode folks who prefer to read LESS
knuckle dragging prose 'n' poetry, the alternative to the DELETE key is
the PAGE DOWN key. One should do for right now . . .

...with this RING OF FIRE I thee wed, maybe? OW. =^]
And now for something completely knuckle-drag-free, in the garden...
Condolences to -y'all- down south for the oppressive heat and what it's
doing to your gardens. The heat (and lack-of-rain) on loan from y'all
to us here in El Norte (NW Indiana, near Chicago) is treating the chiles
OK; but the cherry tomatoes are growing like a proverbial weed. The
biggest of my cherry tom plants must've grown from four feet to five
feet tall in the last week. Plenty o' blossoms and fruit starting up,
too. Temps have been about 85F/30C high, 65-70F/20C low. Nothin' but
compost and Lake Michigan water for these things with a lil' grass
thatch for mulch; so far so good.
Chile question:
The so-called-on-the-plastic-dipstick "chili red" chiles are reddening
up enough to stir up jealousy from a Ferrari -and- a Porsche... They
look like something between a serrano and chile de arbol. I'm planning
on picking e'm all red 'n' ripe. Are these better picked green? Any
opinions? Gracias in advance.
Hasta la lista,
Jesse G.
