El Destructo:
Yes....Eddie can grow Pineapple and all sorts of Goodies...all year long where He lives....as for the Pepper Plants around the Tomatoe Plants...don't know about keeping the Tree Rats away...but the Tomaoes will be spicy....give it a Try....I ruined all of my Wifes Cherry Tomatoes this way....ruined them for Her....I loved them.... ;D
And as for the Tree Rats...if the Pellet Rifle aint Your thing....try a 68mm Paint Ball Pistol...now the Neighborhood has mulicolored Squirrels running...and limping around........ ;).... :P
chasing crow:
I never tried dehydrated jalepinos, but I will now. I usually throw them in the freezer and pull them out and chop while still frozen for pico. Works well and seems to cut down on the heat to the hands while cutting.
jamie:
tsalagi congrats on the garden. if you want the purslane to come back, leave some so they can go to seed. we dont have to plant it in the northeast its abundant. its usually what i eat throughout the day when im working. customers thank me when they see me weeding. didnt even have to ask me. little do they know im gathering lunch. ;D what el'd said about the peppers next to the tomatoes is true. i sprinkled cayenne on mine to keep the critters off and they absorbed it. they were delicious. peace
shikari:
Tsalagi you can also smoke the red ripe jalapaneos and preserve them in an adobo sauce for chipotle peppers.I grow a lot of thai peppers myself and preserve enough to hopefuly last me the winter,I also grow nag jolokias and bhoot jolokias,one good way for preserving the thai's is to put them in a mason jar after washing them and letting them sit in the sun for an hour and then filling the jar with fresh lime juice a few cloves of garlic anda few slices of fresh ginger.
Tsalagi:
We're going to let the purslane go to seed. Spicy tomatoes sound great. I can't touch the squirrels, as much as Brunswick Stew is tempting. The wife likes them.
Ok, Shikari, inquiring minds want to know: Are the bhut jolokia peppers really as hot as the legends make them out to be? How do they stack up next to a habanero? I've never seen them for sale around here and you can find every chile under the sun here just about---it's Arizona, after all. Great advice on the Thai chiles. I'll need to do that with them.
