What are they good in, salads, tacos like romas? 

[smurfy]

i just eat them as they are. probably be good in them. think romas would be better though!!!!!!!

Reworking the soil this spring did wonders. Yea, it is a little crowded in there, but it has been so lush that I haven't had to weed in weeks. Probably make this years batch of pepper sauce in a couple weeks.

Looks great! 

I backed off all the crazy hot stuff this year and just did a few jalapeños for pickled slices! Must have done something right because even my wife like them!

[smurfy]

Anyone interested in starting a new or adding to a winter onion patch?? Let me know I'll gladly share.

Sure looks purty!!! might hurt going out though.

What's your bottle mix.  Little of everything?  

[Duffman]

Everything that was in the pic, except I withheld the ghost peppers.

More kick than usual, but it will probably last longer.

[Duffman]

Thinking about a batch of super hot sauce. Granted, I'd use all the habanero's and just a few  ghost peppers. The mice have gone to town on the peppers this fall, but they've left these two varieties alone.

 

[Mike89]

that will some hot stuff for sure!!!!   

[smurfy]

looking like a frost sunday nite/monday morning here......so i'll be pulling my last 7 mater plants. then the garden will be done!!!!!
