What Is Your Name?
It is a cool cloudy day following our rains yesterday, so I planted the pepper plants Joe and I bought a few days ago. 19 of them!! Green and yellow Bells, Gypsies, Anchos, Habaneros, Cayennes, Mucho Nachos (giant jalapenos) and Chili Pequins (tiny, but 8 times hotter than a jalapeno)...all levels of the Scoville scale. We already have tomatoes setting fruit. I like planting heirloom varieties. This year we put in Paul Robesons, Tliacolula Pinks, Black Cherries, Money Makers, Cherokee Purples and Juliettes. The only hybrid plant I put in is a Better Bush. It may give me a more predictable harvest but I love the different shapes and colors of the heirlooms. Truth be told, I love the names, too. Whether it is a rose or a vegetable, the name calls me first.
