New greenhouse up! Ready to rock some chili plants, first April! Thank you SO much, Tammy Mckay and Craig McKay! It was sweltering yesterday, whew but I’m not sore this morning! Again, thank you so much—the best gift anybody can give is of themselves (and cinderblock and going all the way with the shelving, leveling!). E. Ann Powell

Got seeds in for Jambalaya Okra, today from HOSS, about overall 1000 superhot chili seeds. To my surprise, one of my Hell Tabs is popping—extraordinarily longer hotter Tabasco crossed for 6 years with Reaper.
