Met the master today

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.
 
You wouldnt find him in 'bama! Texas is only JUST big enough for him!

Did ya meet Roscoe too?
 
Congrats to you. If I ever get down that way to visit my dad, I might have to give him a call and meet the legend myself!

.......sorry. I just couldn't resist. :cool:
 
appreciate the accolades Ryan, but man, remember it was here I learned most of what I know...it really embarasses me that you guys call me a master and all of that but I am just a man that likes to grow his peppers...Potawie, Silver Surfer, HawaianAl, cmpman, billyboy, hippy, bentalphanerd, just to name a few are people that have helped me with growing issues and I am deeply indebted to them...

anybody can do it if you put your mind to it...reading and gaining knowledge is the key...

and I have said this before...if any of the THPers are ever in my area, there is an open invitation to visit...

and paulky...I actually kinda like that... :rofl:

Does this include the Love Shack? And to the newbies, no this is not some secret room with a gimp.

I totally knew this topic was about AJ when I saw the title!
Man... I'm sooo jealous of trwoolsey07... AJ is one of the best gardeners, cooks, chileheads and well... people I've ever had the chance of knowing, even if not in person. truly a master of not only chiles, but life!

Omri, it was pretty cool to get to meet him. He had tons and tons of info and encouraging advice. Very glad I mad the drive to go meet with him.
 
I've heard his breath smells of mint and jasmine and he sparkles even in the shade.

Oh, and his chii recipe is the best in the world.
 
roflmao...smells of mint and jasmine because I fell face first in the weeds with my mouth open...could be sparkling from all that birdshot since they switched to steel from lead...

Maybe so AJ, but it seems you have developed your craft into a true champion chili grower!!
That's the way we see it "Master AJ"!!
