No, not a new variety, just an observation I forgot to mention from the
recent chopping session. Some of the Habaneros (the orange ones & some of
the reds I think) had an unusual characteristic. When I opened them up,
instead of the usual seeds, I found another chile inside ! These chile
babies were always unripe and usually quite small, and would generally pop
out like a pea from a pod - most unusual ! Most of the chiles from a given
plant seemed to exhibit this characteristic, in total I must have found
about 10 chiles like this. Anyone else seen this ? Is it common, or have my
experiments gone too far this time - BWUHAHAHAHA !!!
