PEQUINS from MEXICO

No apologies necessary NJA. It sounds like you have your hands full and then some! I just wanted to make sure they were actually getting received. :) I was getting concerned.

Mainly, I wanted to send out the seeds to you I packed already, but I don't have your mailing address.

Regarding the pequins, my favorite is probably a variety I got in Arizona from a plant nursery when I was out there on vacation. Nice heat, very tall plant, good production. A perfect representation of one. From a unique perspective, one of the coolest is a variety called Pequin from Puerto Vallarte. It's got dark green leaves, very tall plant, spreads a lot, small pointed pods. Unfortunately, I didn't get many pods on it because I planted it very late in 2008. Macho isn't an 'official' Pequin, but it has birdlike qualities, gets super tall and produces a great many elongated juicy pods that pop right off the plant. There really are so many neat ones out there. They are just hard to find.

One of the things that make tepin so picante is that you don't de-seed, de-placenta the fruit as you do with larger chiles.
