well I can't say why so many of the others aren't here so will just speak for myself. Some of you know Charles passed last August. Shortly after that I ended up in the hospital for a hip/pelvic repair. Off to the nursing home for rehab, I finally got home mid-December. My pepper crop had grown legs and walked away, most of it. Health wise I still have to use a walker but I'm back to growing peppers, not a lot about 50, but I'll get there. I know some of the others have had personal difficulties crop up but that's their stories to tell. I miss what THP was back then. I check in and find a lot of changes and less value on what the ones with experience taught. I know things have to change and move on. I'm on facebook, quite a few pepper groups over there also. I think there is a place for any and all pepper groups, each acts in a different function. I'd like to have THP back the way it was before but it's not going to happen. Growers move on or adapt to the changes, sad to see so much experience leave and so many new ones that could benefit from what the old ones had to teach.
