oh relax. Times have been very hard for a lot of people, and if you want to
scold people for being inconsiderate, think about your own words.
Besides, what does your post have to do with the "genus Capsicum"? Not much
if you ask me.
On a brighter note, and to make sure that I'm not offending Cameron too
much, I ate my first Scotch Bonnet out of the garden yesterday. It almost
blew my head off. Yahoo! I live in New England, and I found that growing
my peppers in black plastic pots really makes a difference. The growing
season can end early up here, and the black pots can keep the soil warm for
a long time after everything else cools down. I'm hoping to have enough
ripe fruit for the Pig n' Pepper in a couple of weeks. I think I might even
enter either my Scotch Bonnet of my Red Savina in the "hottest pepper"
competition. Wish me luck!
