Good heavens -- how do you sacrifice a chile? You make a burn't offering, (ya'll just grill it)! ;-) We've got our garden planted now. 10,000 chile plants and about a like number of green peppers. Mostly jalapenos but a few habaneros and anaheims as well. Just a few other varieties. Need some help though -- how long does it take for manalli and pusa javala to fruit/mature? Question number two -- are 7" pots large enough for pretty purples? We want to use them as a deck railing again this year. (Drives the little old blue-haired ladies nuts when they ask what the plants on the deck are, and we reply, "Hot peppers")! Have a great summer Nels in ND
