One of the things I like to do with the Jalapenos is (you probably already tried this) through them into the jar of pickles in the fridge. After a week or so...yum! Is sounds like your garden is alot bigger than mine. I'm a little cramped on space. That's one of the problems I have. I always want to plant just a little more than I should for the space I've got. :-) CB ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Shirley" <gshirl@bellsouth.net> To: <gardeners@globalgarden.com> Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2002 8:17 AM Subject: Re: [gardeners] new to group > I live in Sulphur, LA and our climate is similar, well, exactly like, the upper Texas Gulf Coast. > We're already planting some things in spite of a light frost this morning.
