Spatz,

What are the yellow ones in the bottom left corner of the picture and the little red ones at the very tippy top, almost center? Thanks! They look great!

Michele, here's a picture with captions. I think you are asking about the ones I can't clearly remember. They are most likely Astrakhanski .

Mantis, I could feel the heat through my monitor screen!

**mdvpc** · March 24, 2007

Mantis-looks good. I use an electric coffee bean grinder to grind my chile for powder. Never done it with habs, but I will try it this summer since I have a nice seedling or two of habanero. I usually do it with my cayenne and other chile. Even dried some green chile one year and ground it. How does your hab powder taste?

Mantis · March 27, 2007

Hi Earl and Michael. Dabbed a bit of the powder on my tounge (mistake), fruity taste for a split second then **** hot burning.

Wont need much to heat whatever I put it in.
I dried them at 125 deg F so as not to boil off the capsicain. It worked.

Mantis-the humidity is so low here, I just pick my chile to dry and put them in the kitchen-They dry real good in about 7 days.

been picking my (small) big jims.

yesterday's pick:

the big one's only 17cm...but there are more coming in so, hopefully, something bigger soon.

**mdvpc** · April 9, 2007

Tessa-Are those NewMex Big Jims? If so, you can also pick them green-choice is up to you.

tessa · April 9, 2007

yes they are, michael...but as i was entered in a competition...i was trying to get every millimeter of growth out of them!

they did end up turning a gorgeous shade of red though, don't you think?

**mdvpc** · April 9, 2007

Tessa-They are beautifil. Another beautiful red pepper that is sweet though, is Lipstick. For the hot green chiles here where I live, which is the green chile area of New Mexico and Texas, we usually pick them green. Sometimes we wait and pick them red.

michael...does the colour effect the hotness at all?

**mdvpc** · April 10, 2007

Tessa-As far as I can tell, it doesnt have any effect on the hotness at all.
