This coming spring I want more variety in my chili plants than I can
get at Home Depot or like stores. Has anyone here done business with
the online company Cross Country Nurseries? Is it as good as it is
presented online? Or does anyone have a company they can recommend?
I'd prefer to buy the plants. I'm currently renting and don't want to
spend the money setting up lights, etc., for seed starting.

TIA, zhan

I'm not certain of the reliability of this "service", but it's the
closest thing I have found to the computer parts reseller reviews
which I have found extremely useful and very accurate....

Unfortunately Cross Country is not reviewed yet.

What a great resource they are there are at least 20 on my got to have
list. Thanks for the expensive post. :>)

Thanks for the URL I've book marked it for future use. I clicked on
bunches of plants also. Way more than I have room in the garden or
pots. Haven't found any other chili plant site that interests me as
much so I'll go ahead and order from them. After I pare down my list
that is.

you wont be disapointed. I have bought many different peppers from them.
You can even sign up for a monthly new letter that gives tips and tricks for
growing peppers.

That is a good site lots of great information. but for now I'd rather
buy the plants. If we ever get settled in our retirement home I'll
get back into seed starting. Have you tried any of the recipes?

Yup.

Yup.

One warning, Cross Country Nurseries is the crack cocaine
of pepper pushers. You think, "I'll just order a few plants"
and then they come in, all healthy and heady, so you think,
"Umm, maybe I have room for a few more" and then it's
too late. Suddenly it's fall, and your counters are covered
with drying peppers, your co-workers glare and huddle over
their plates in the breakroom, afraid you'll sneak a few
extra peppers in there. You find yourself writing posts to
newsgroups with titles like "Help!!!!! Too Many Peppers!"
and scanning magazines for recipes. And then it's January,
and the sickness starts all over again.

Oh, the anguish!

Pepper Sauce
100 gr (about 3.5 to 4 oz.) of the pepper of your choice
(I suggest habanero, jalapeño, cayenne, malagueta, etc)
2 large white onions
4 garlic cloves (jumbo size or 8 regular size)
olive oil as needed

How to prepare:

Put all togheter in a food processor ( not a blender!), to guarantee a
finely chopped result, but not a paste. Than put it in a bowl and add olive
oil (about 2 or 3 tablespoons) and mix well. Afterward put the mixture in a
jar, cover it up with olive oil and cover the jar with a lid. Be careful,
don't fill it up to the top, because the mixture will be fermented and seems
to "grow up". Leave at least 1/4 of the jar for this process; you will avoid
a mess. That's it. In a few days the sauce will be ready to consumption and
it will be stronger and hotter day-by-day. After one week I recommend to
refrigerate it; you can keep it refrigerated for months or even over a year,
but I bet that you will to consume it quickly...

post didnit hit here until today. I ordered from them. Trimmed down

to give peppers away. I share your anguish.
