Ah! I love Thai Hots. They're a staple food for me. 'Course, they
dry really really well, and grind into powder well, which is helpful.
So, with Thai Hots perhaps from some of my dried pods from the fields
and Scott's "KT" peppers (hmmmm... Change the acronym to "Knobstone
Trail" perhaps - would be more hoosier-appropriate. Then I could eat
KT's on the KT!). That's 2 buckets down. I might buy a Rocoto
seedling from Susan, perhaps. Maybe I could try a Paprika from her as
well....
OK, 1 bucket left. Suggestions?
