Where the heck is Bob?....



This is nothing yet, in terms of the varieties I have. Here is a pic I just took now, of my little up and coming hot pepper seedlings...





: )
Yes I do get the pictures--I can see a little purple leaf seedling in this post! I would love to get a few seeds of the purple pepper--they are beautiful plants!

I have to tell you the story of the contest I won with them--We had an annual pepper eating contest at work--it became pretty obvious that I could win over all of the people working there at the time, so I told them I would only compete every other yr.

Well, one yr when I was not competing we got this new pepper mouth in--he told me to come on and compete, but I told him "No--I promised to let someone else win and if he won I would see him next yr"

He called me a WIMP!

I said "We will see next yr."

He won that yr, so next yr I took a bowl of the purple peppers and I told him "Here's the peppers, you name the game!"

He said "How about we lay out piles of 3 peppers--you have 30 seconds to eat them and if you want to continue, you have 30 seconds to eat the next pile--if you go for the bread or water, you're out."

I said "That's fine with me."

We started, I popped all 3 in and chewed them up--I grabbed a small handful from the bowl and popped them in my mouth--"You don't mind if I eat a few extra do you--they are so sweet!"

He looked at me kinda funny, but stayed in the game for 2 minutes as I ate a few extra each turn. When he gave up he had red whelps where the tears had run down his face! When he went for the water, I grabbed a bottle of Tobasco and drank about half of it! He never called me a whimp again!
