Re: Drought...

That's what I do, too, Rich--pickle them, or dry them. End of the year pickled ones get pureed into a faux tabasco sauce. Dried ones go whole into stews or soups, or run through the spice mill to make a cayenne substitute. Of course, when they're red-ripe and soft, they're great mashed up and added to scrambled eggs.

Hi Kitty, Last year I let my thieving neighbors steal them. People like
that need to be helped as much as possible. LOL but they are quite hot and
quite good. I pickled a few of them for the annual family Christmas
get-together, they were quite a hit.

Speaking of peppers, this is the first time I've grown any - It's the
ornamental AAS winner, Black Pearl. Mine haven't branched much but have
clusters of plack pearl peppers at the tops. "As the plant matures, the
black peppers turn red, adding a new color to the plant. While edible, the
peppers are very hot. Use with care!" Has anyone ever grown this? What do
you do with the peppers?

Or, could they have cross-pollinated with peppers that are hotter? Pepper
specialist, anyone?

I have heard that if peppers don't get enough water they will be hotter.
I

wonder if that could be the case for you?

Cathy,I thought you were one of the lucky ones that got some of the

rain
that
has fallen all around us..but not here. My daughter in Mahomet 45 min
from

here got 5 in. last week. We got 1/2 in but it was so dry the grass,

etc.

is
still crispy. Our pond has begun to show it's bare bottom again just

like
last
year. The good news is we have our first tomatoes! The little yellow
cherry type
are the best esp. eaten right off the vine. Can anyone tell me why my
"sweet
banana peppers" are so hot? Kathy
