Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Sounds like a plan!!! I will put it on my calendar in hopes that no one here will sign me up for something that weekend!!! LOL
Just looked at the work schedule and I am off so I would like to show up for this thing.
My wife and I both attended this event last year and also the one that these same people put on in the fall. I don't know anything about an art festival. I have been hearing up to maybe be a vendor at this spring event, but last year it was in June, so I thought I had another couple of months. There is no way I will have my plants ready in 2 weeks. If I were to bring fresh peppers, I wouldn't have enough ready in April to make a decent showing. This is probably for the best though. Last year it was pretty hot and it's all outside, and I had my black, collared shirt with my "Seriously Hot Peppers" logo, and I was sweating pretty bad. I'm used to working outside all the time, but I'm usually working in a shaded greenhouse, or under a tree somewhere. Anyway, it should be a little cooler and less chance of rain this time of year. I just have to wait a whole year to try again. Last year, we came early on Saturday. I'll have to talk to Cindy and see if she wants to go over on Sunday instead, of everyone is only coming out on Sunday.
You guys still going only on Sunday? We will be there! I'll have my SHP shirt on, and will be looking for your shirt, but I think I will recognize you anyway. Tom
So jealous. I would definitely be there if I could. Have fun 
We are getting there just after 11, when it opens. PM me your cell phone. So when do you think you are getting there? We aren't going to stick around all day. Probably be there for an hour and a half and then we are going over to eat lunch at The Casual Clam, which has some of the best shrimp we have had anywhere. If you like to pig out, they even have all you can eat.
Was totally awesome meeting EVERYONE today!!
Rockin' festival with cool people, some good tunes, and yuumy eats. Was glad to have gone. I was sad to see no one totally freak out at the lolly pop challenge. I am proud to see a couragous THP member up on stage.

It was great seeing everyone in person. You never know who these people are that you send text to all the time, but actually meeting them is so much better. I picked Sic out of the crowd and called him on the cell phone, when I saw him pick up his phone I knew that had to be him.You know, I see people in different garden forums that have garden parties once or twice a year. You know there are enough people in central Florida that could get together a great spicy party some day! Even if it is at some type of restaurant, something like we just saw with about 20 people would be pretty cool some year. We had a great time and came away with 8 varied bottles of salsa, sauce, etc. BTW Sic, Cindy loved the sausage bacon bite. Those were some of the best foods I have ever tasted. $2 each was as little rough, by hea, it was Pepper Festival! :-)
