Well, Mike in Montreal, Gary in Port Colbourne, and Linda in NORTH
Tronna....and all you Merkins north of SoCal or the Keys :-), this OLD
Cdn chile head, has a hot portugal, 3 years old, which is outside, and
has 9 big beautiful red chiles and three green ones hanging on it. I
just harvested all the Thais that were left on that plant, six, and it
is also 3 years old. Mind you, this is Beautiful British Columbia, and I
do bring the pots in every winter. About 5 or 6 years back I grew habs
and Caribbean red hots, and kept those plants around for a few years
also. I do like to try different varieties, so after a few years, I
simply let the plants die off. I enjoy shocking the girls in the stupor
mkt when they tell me that the habs I am buying are the hottest pepper
in the world, and I should be very careful when using them. So, after
they have weighed them I take one from the bag and bite it in half...mmm
good! But hot also! clears the sinus instantly, but it is worth it to
see the expression on those girls faces! M O M does NOT mean Mother...it
is Mean Old Man!! Cheers, Doug in BC
