Friends and neighbors,

Thanks to Uncle Steve for the sampler!  We (sons #2 and #4) and I have  put
a pretty good dent in the powder the past week or so.  The other day our
Norwegian Exchange Student (son for the year) tried the smoked hab powder.
He noticed the heat! :-)  He said that he had heard the spice is good for
you -- he figured that he would be close to perfect when he goes home to
Norway next spring.

We've a bumper crop of hot jalapenos -- huge peppers for jals, 1 3/4#
diameter and some over 4" long.  We planted Mitla and Grande varieties this
year (usual disclaimers apply).  We (and our customers) are pleased with the
peppers.  The jalapenos are just about as hot as the serranos.  The cayennes
and pequins are doing well.  The cayennes are ripening, and the pequins are
setting fruit like mad. The pequins are in pots on our deck.  Son #2 brought
home some Korean peppers from science camp this summer, they are in the
greenhouse and are producing well.  They look like a long seranno.  Haven't
started to ripen yet.  Recieved some 'bird peppers' from a Bangladeshi
colleague.  The little buggers are HOT.  They were starting to turn when we
pulled the plants, so I hung the plants in a garage to finish ripening and
am going to try to save seed.  Still waiting for my prik-kee-noo to set more
fruit,  starting to bud now.

Thanks to all that gave advice on the habs in a greenhouse.  We have some
ripening on the plants in the greenhouse.  Can't wait to dry and grind them.

All for now

Nels in ND
