    It's better than waiting for it to warm up enough to get them outside.

    As long as it mixed well, it sounds good. Hottest thing I've properly drunk is probably next week's review and it's not likely to compare.

    Yes, a very nice ride. going for another right now.
    I put the powder in the empty cup and poured the hot liquid over it. It definitely mixed well.

    Very tasty. I can't even imagine eating a whole pod though. Maybe like the brown moruga, I will get used to them over time.

    But I doubt it.

    I was thinking the same thing. Why is that even still a term? Dodge it, though, cap. Hope your property is safe!

    food would be very disappointing if not for hot peppers, unless of course you were starving.

    I like garlic as much as any Italian. but, I eat some form of hot pepper every day and in most cases, every meal.

    Well, they are not liking the temps but I don't think they will be effected long term. May loose some leaves but they are pretty big and that's one thing going for them. I may move them to the garage tonight just as a precaution.

    The way I spent the last hour can be summed up by a line Kurt Russel had in Tequila Sunrise."I dont grow weeds in my yard so I can pull them". All of my plants are back under roof for tonights frost warning.

    All is back to the way it was, and no irreparable harm.

    WOW. Late, late start this year. Plants are bigger then all years before. Why? you ask. NO APHIDS!

    My plants don't seem to get aphids until the temps get hot. But in a way, I've found an alternative - - - grow something they like even better than chile plants, and grow it away from the chiles. Last year it was brussels sprouts. The year before it was cilantro. No aphids on the chiles, but hordes on those two. Killed them all, of course, but it was interesting to see how things played out.

    At any rate, I am really glad your little not-so-secret "weapon" is workin...

    My grow room gets up to 98° during its 6 on 6 off cycles @ the full 1000w output. So if there are aphids present when I start the season, they are ready to explode. Have white flies bit GUARDIAN and fly tape seems to keep them in check.

what chilies to combine to make a blend that combines instant heat and long lasting heat with a good taste?

If anyone is interested in how easy it is to manipulate US citizens to vote for you,fire up your lawn mower when your grass doesn’t need cut, then listen for the inevitable cacophony of small engines that follow.
