Hi Chile Heads, I want to thank all of you who post regularly for an entertaining list. I have been a member for several months, but this is my first post. At a plant show this spring I bought two pepper plants to try my hand in growing some for the first time, a Purple de Arbol and a Lemon Drop plant. The Purple de Arbol has some pods now, the Lemon Drop is taking longer. Can anyone offer any advice as to when and how often I should remove the pods for consumption, and any ideas for cooking with these types of peppers? Thanks Jay _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
