Hello everyone I hope you are all excellent. A bit late but thankyou Tom for my CH card. Number2196 that graphic will make an awsome t shirt. Now for my own 2 cents about bay leaves. I don't think they can be toxic as they have been an integral part of spice mixtures without their removal such as Garam Masala . Anyway back to peppers. I noticed this last time but now I am sure of my findings. Twice a year for three month intervals I take "tribulus terrestris " or "puncture vine" for another name. It is a natural source herb that I take for body building. It has one unusual twist that happens around the third week of taking it and that is it makes peppers taste hotter . I use regular Tabasco sauce for salad dressing and now it nearly blows the top of my head off. My pickled Jals make me sweat . I don't know why but I ain't complaining . If anyone has an answer why please pass it on . A special thanks to Adrian Villada for the wonderful seeds. I can hardly wait to try growing your varieties. Life is always busy for me lately I will try to post more often . I still think of you all every day though . Yours Truly Rodney Livingston
