Craig, we were posting at the same time, so I didn't see your long informative update til after I did mine. Yes, this is fun to see so many variations. Too bad all the participants can't get together for salsa tasting, eh? Maybe those of you that can get to the various regional tomato tastings can do a salsa test? Course, to be fair you'd have to only use the same kind of tomatoes in the salsas.
I have some extra room in the garden, so I do intend to grow out all the pepper plants just to see what the fruit looks and tastes like. And keep a few in pots for speedier maturity. l I am not used to bagging blossoms and have only saved pepper seed a few times, but will try to do better with these.
It's fun to see everyone's pictures and compare progress.
