George, you mention the Frank's Thai pepper. I grow a dwarf pepper every year that I got originally from Sand Hill preservation Center. The pepper is called Frank's bell. Is that one from you? It is a real novelty and is one of the few sweet peppers that will color up reliably around here without rotting. It is not like anything that I would normally call a bell, It is more like an italian frying pepper but it's walls are even thinner. I l It is very hard to get a blocky bell pepper to turn red around here. Usually they will develop rot before they get to the full red stage. If you do know about this pepper I would be interested in hearing it. Thanks John

No, that's not from me. Sandhill Preservation, though, is one of the best places to find really unique varieties, ones that probably won't take off and become wildly popular all over the country.

You're correct the peppers are not Frank's Thai. They are Tabascos I got from George. I have two Frank's Thai in the main garden.

I read jalapenos do well for you, and this one's parent was a jalapeno. It would be interesting to see how it would grow in Panama. I would be happy to send some seeds your way, if you're interested. In fact, I'd be happy to send any of you folks here some seeds. Just send me a Personal Message with your name/address. No postage required. RIck |

Rick, I would love to get some seed. As you know, I have no access to seed here. This is a seed saver site and I am also willing to send seed out to those who need it. Just ask me. I love jalepeno's. I no longer make hot sauce out of em. What I do is slice em and make pickled jalepeno rings out of em. I will send you my address Rick.

  These are foto's of the Rattlesnake. That is the name of this Hatch, New Mexico bred offering. Rick sent it to me. I haven't tasted them but they are making some big ole biggins. Supposed to bite like a rattlesnake I guess. I am waiting for them to turn red before tasting them. These will go in some vinegar with salt. Probably chop em up. Oh, my mistake. The second foto is called Vierra Jalepeno's. They don't look like jalepeno's. They look like jalepeno's that got frisky and had extramarital affair with a cayenne. Common problem. I haven't tasted this one either but they are real pretty peppers. |

 Arroz con Pollo sweet peppers top, Purple Thunder mystery bottom  Ajicito on the left. Yellow Chombo's right  Dragons Breath plant trying to make a come back  Bhut Jolokia/paperlantern-Yellow drop-a crazy cross. Plant is not doing well.

Closer look at an orange Bhut-trying to make a comeback  Bhut Jolokia-yellow fruit-one of the comeback kids   Ajicito  Chombo red  Pequins-large plant one year old speciman growing in ground.  Close up of pequins  Cuban Oregano  Malabar spinach |

Nice pics Glen. It's interesting how the chombos, pequins and ajicitos are flourishing, and the rest are struggling. Perhaps these new to Panama peppers will adapt over time. Or not lol.
