Hi, Y'all from the Space(d) Coast.
My pepper story....
Someone dear to me gives me a Tabasco plant..as a gift...
I stick it in a pot and the thing explodes :dance: ..pepper city...
for two or three years I regularly snip peppers for the pot, the grill, the salad..etc.
I put them in bouquets, I give them away to co-workers...just the right heat :hell: they'd say...
Never watered, never fertilized.. :crazy:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One very freezing day the poor thing catches a cold and up and dies on me..
and I realize miss it !!!! :(
How can you miss a plant ??? :crazy:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now I have a nice variety, pimento, hot banana, jalapeno, black pearl.
Last week I thought.."that old pot may have some seeds"...
I started watering it..sure enough I have some baby Tabasco plants :cool: :beer: :cool:

So, this black thumb has somehow actually became a grower... go figure..
