How's it going Matt? I lived right next door in allentown for 14 years, now up in lehighton. What restaurant do you own down there?   Welcome aboard bud! :dance:

  Last pic is the miniature scotch bonnet & one of the aji amarillo.

The rocotos really started branching out & 2 of them actually have 1 pepper on each plant which I was very surprised to see, I think come september the're gonna be loaded with peppers. I really messed up the scotch bonnets, I had them in peat pots smaller than dixie cups for months & they just...
