Don't go posting stuff to peak our interests without photos, it's a buzzkill. LoL

I picked 5 "Hot Cherry" peppers, 5 Hot Banana peppers & 38 Jalapeno peppers this weekend. I still have Chile peppers & Holy Mole peppers going strong as well. All the others petered out, except some Habaneros that might give me a few more peppers yet.

Except for some carrots in a container, all my other plants gave up the ghost. I believe the 18 inches over normal this year was too much for them. I believe I'm going to plant some more lettuce soon to have until the frost comes.

I'm harvesting "GENOVESE" Basil seeds right now - I'm going to send some to you, Mac.

You'll love these plants! They are the most aromatic and flavorful Basil I have ever found.

Thanks! That will be great timing, as my Sweet basil plant has decided it has had enough.

If you would like some seeds - PM me an address. I have been collecting seeds off of it for a week now, and there's plenty to share

I'll send them on their way soon - I'm waiting for seed heads to come up for the grass we talked about
~They make good indoor plants in winter, the scent is wonderful
