Answering several posts as once here.
Seed sources: I use Tough Love, Enchanted Seeds, Pepper Gal, GNS, and
Burpees. No real complaints.
Plant Out Dates: My frost date is May 15th & I don't cheat it by so
much as a single day- no matter what the weather seems like! One year
here we had almost 80 F first week of May & I was tempted to put them
out a little early. Next week we had a hard freeze. It certainly isn't
worth risking my entire crop.
Heat Tolerance: I've also read that the taste buds on your tongue are
replaced about every ten days. Could be that if you don't eat hot
regularly enough, all the ones that are 'used' to the stuff are switched
out. I know that I too, go through cycles of heat tolerance but I just
blamed it on psychosis ;-)
Gypsys: My first were given to me by a member of the Greek community
here in Indy so that I could grow them for one of their members. They
can not be beat IMHO for grilling. Apologies to Carpo, but some of them
did have a little heat ;-)
Bells: I like them for certain things, especially shiskabobs. To each
their own.
ChileGuy: I too have purchased from him. One thing that got me though
was after ordering some Chipotle, the box arrived marked Morita. When I
asked what was up, he informed me that all Chipotle these days was
Morita unless I really wanted to pay dearly.
Hotlucks: Again, I am happy to provide goodies for all those sponsoring
said events. You MUST remember to contact ME though- I don't keep track
of which ones I've sent to before. Just cause I sent some last year,
don't think it will automatically come this year- I'm nowhere near that
organzied ;-) Two weeks before the event, send a note (e-mail) with a
shipping address, date of the event, and number of people attending.
Did I miss anything? :-)
