The plant manager here just brought me in the Garfield cartoon from the Sunday paper. The strip depicts a pepper eating contest between Garfield and Jon. It's a classic. I am not sure if it's posted on the web anywhere but if anyone likes I will scan it for them when I get home and email to them. You can reply to this message or send a message to my home email at amos@mhtc.net. I am framing this strip. Other than that it looks like we may get a frost here this weekend so I have to get out to the garden, harvest what I want and cover a few things. This is the earliest I can remember the threat of a frost here. Last year it was much later than after a very short cool spell it was real warm until the middle of November. Also, I was wondering if anyone has any seeds of the C. tovarii or other of the other varieties such as C. cardenasii (ulupica) or c. chanoense for trade or sale. If so please let me know.
