   I was wandering around out near the garden last
night, looking at the remains of this year's work.
I only had 7 plants, one of which never produced more
than a 1/2 dozen pequin sized cayennes.  All were store
bought, so I never got really "into" gardening this
year.  Even though the other six plants did well I
felt kinda down about the season.  I never even pulled
the lettuce that had bolted long ago.

   Then I noticed something amongst the weeds and
lettuce.  A lone 4" long pepper hanging from the frost
ravaged remains of a volunteer chile plant.  It had
sprung up where I had planted jalapenos the previous
year.  The whole plant was barely a foot tall.

   I picked it, sampled it and found it to have serious
heat for a jalapeno-cross-maybe.  Put some in the dinner
last night and enjoyed the feeling that El Grande had
layed just a teensy little blessing on me.  Perked up
my mood considerably.

Scott... basking in El Grande's glow... KCK
