Re: Grrr, peppers

Think I'd be tempted to dry and grind some of them. Ground pimento is the "solvent" or "carrier" for chili powder, which I've taken to making my own. Hope my seeds are as-advertised, also. We haven't had a good jalapeno plant for 2-3 years.

Hah! No, to be satisified I would have to slap them myself. Ah well,
it's hardly the worst garden event that's ever happened to me, and I've
been at this for 25 years now and never had it happen before. I'm trying 
to find a silver lining. If they really are pimentos I suppose I can
make sweet pepper relish, it's a good relish, but geez I hate working
with small fruit like that. I'm still going to see if I can find the
receipts though. I hardly ever keep that stuff but I ordered online so
maybe I kept the email acknowledgement.
I hope YOUR seeds are what they're advertised to be!!!

Just got "Mucho Nacho" seeds from them--only to learn they're just down
the road in Ft Myers. If you want, I'll drive down and slap them for
you.

I definitely do not have ancho peppers growing. I pulled one off last
night. They look like they might be pimento peppers, maybe, based on
the pictures I'm looking at on Tomato Grower's Supply Co website
(which is where I ordered from this year). There's no heat to them at
all and they are maybe ping-pong ball size, I don't think they'll get
much bigger than that. This is so annoying. Now I have to search
through my stuff to see if I still have the receipts and seed packet
for what I actually bought and then go gripe to the company. I did not



buy pimento peppers, I don't want pimento peppers, and not only have I



wasted time and water on something I don't want, I don't have the
chiles I was counting on to preserve for this winter. It's not like I
can't just go to the grocery store, but still! The value of what I've
wasted is far more than the value of the seed packet, but I bet I'm
not going to get compensated for that. Arrrgh.
