I bought a couple of pepper plants. One died and the other nearly died. I gave that one to my friend to tend to. It seems they lacked sufficient moisture. Beats the heck out of my how that happened - this is the wettest side of this island. I had one pepper that fell of the plant and tumbled to the ground before I gave it up. It made a tasty omelet. That's pretty much the end of my pepper growing aspirations.

I hope I don't have to water, much this Summer. I have both garden beds out front of my house with many (15 on each side I believe!) 40# bags of good dark topsoil so...

I need to find some Zinnia plants next, for on either side of the house's entryway! Had some last year and they bloomed and bloomed! Very pretty!

Jalapenos, bells, and poblanos - good choices.

That would have been a vegan omelet.

No habaneros or Madame Jeanettes or at least bishop's crowns?

If you cut one in half and put it cut side down on your hand, it falls
through your hand.

That would be doubtful. I'm interested in growing peppers that I'm familiar with and would use in cooking. Chilitepin would also be nice.

I read that they're very hot. Interesting.

They are very hot. The heat level in your mouth dies down in seconds. That's what makes them different from other peppers.

Like wasabi and horse radish. Maybe I'll order some seeds.
