I've got three topics here. One is a question, two a thank you note, and
three a bit of grovelling.
1. Last year, I grew an aji amarillo. It turned out to be a rather pitiful
soul. The wall flower of the garden, as it certainly hadn't joined the
growing party. Rather than eat just both pods, I saved the seed, then ate
the pods. This year, something happened. The aji this year are bushy
monsters well over six feet tall. They've got quite a few pods on them and
are covered with blossums. The odd thing this time around is that it seems
like it is taking forever for the pods to turn from green to yellow or
orange. Why should it take longer for the pods to ripen once they seem to be
the right size for it than it did last year? So far I've only gotten one pod
to ripen. It would be a major drag to have the weather turn bad here and
have the whole lot die on me at this stage. There's probably nothing that
can be done, but what is the cause??
2. Thanks to the people that sent me the cap
shorthand--C18H27NO3--yesterday. I've already put it to good use (though it
doesn't look like a ripper of a name for the puppy of the recent thread).
Also thanks for the resources where the information can be found. They look
useful as well.
3. Sorry about posting the same messages twice yesterday. I had stupidly
addressed the first on to chile-head@globalgarden.com (head, not heads) and
it bounced. Since I am in digest mode, I hadn't realized that it got posted
anyway. Sorry, folks.
Thanks again,
David Yoshiba
