'Heads,
After everything went in Monday, I still had two extra spots in the garden, and four extra
containers. So back to Wally-Wurld I went today, to buy one of the Tabasco plants I saw
last week. They were the only place I saw anything more exotic than Caribbean Reds this
year, and all the nurseries seemed to have the same boring selection. Everywhere we looked
it was Jalapeno, Garden Salsa, Super Chiles, and the Caribbeans were at about half of the
places we went. I had also forgotten that W-M had "Cattle Horns", or some such... which I
haven't tried before. What they hadn't had the last time I was there, which they had one
last plant of this trip, was a really nice looking ornamental in a 4.5" peat pot. A little
pricey (it's a Bonney's, or whomever...), but a nice looking, good sized plant.
About thirty plants in the ground... or in containers at the moment. Hopefully they'll
all lead happy, productive lives until the bitter frost bites them in the arse come fall...
