Today I got to hang out with AlabamaJack for about 45 minutes. It is my first season trying this hot pepper stuff out and I was having very little success getting anything started. I found out he only lives about 45 minutes from me so I decided to contact him and see if he had some plants to spare so I could at least get the hang of taking care of a couple of plants for experience for next season. Boy did he ever have enough plants. After today I can truly say I have seen the promised land and it is glorious!! He was super hospitable and seemed to take great joy in explaining his successes and passing on tips of the trade to a rook such as myself. AJ, if you read this, I just want to thank you for your time and allowing me to pick your brain a little bit. And to everyone else, do business with this guy, although I'm sure most everyone here already knows this. Anyways, that's my two cents.
