Default ARGH! Dang blasted #@$%*^%

Thursday it was raining when I got home, and I got home late Friday, so garden perusing was cursory; just long enough to pick a few tidbits for dinner. Saturday I wandered out for a leisurely stroll and more serious inspection and...and...there it was. My beautiful Bolivian Habanero, the one loaded with 19 juicy and evil looking peppers, that one that was just starting to ripen some was dang near leafless.

Argh! After a hornworm free summer, this one struck with a vengeance! The whole top of the plant was stripped, and 16 of the 19 peppers were too damaged to save. I can save one nearly ripe one, and two green ones were untouched.

So, I mounted an intensive search and destroy mission and terminated with extreme prejudice!

*obligatory whine* Iiiiii haven't evvvven had a Bolivian Hab before. Thiiissss wassss my firssst.
