This was interesting as I just finished compiling all sales info and
making sure all greenhouse pickups were in my database. Every season,
there are one or two peppers that are suddenly in demand. I can never
figure out why. Sometimes a pepper gets mentioned on TV or in a movie (I
had a run on malagueta after it was mentioned in a Penelope Cruz movie),
but other times it is a mystery to me. Last year, the Peruvian was the
unexpected bestseller. This season it was the Booney. Last year, I sold
ONE! Booney plant: our local community food bank garden ended up with lots
of Booney plants. This year, it seemed like everyone wanted a Booney
pepper and lots of them. Any ideas as to why this pepper is so popular
now?
