Pit Viper should have very noticeable striping on it.

Like this? The biggest one is 1.7oz.

I like Pit Viper, does well in our heat and is therefore on my varsity team. Blane had a great at-bat with this one.

Try Copper River bad. kelpie, sweet green complex compact big tomatoes

I grew up this year and did not care for it it was a dwarf plant and the tomatoes were small but the flavor was just not good at at all

you guys need to try them with some Tajín sprinkled, ballgame changer

[dmforcier]

Never seen that before. What is it?

Limes, chilis, sea salt, can be found at both wal-mart and Amazon.

as Milady stated above, a versatile mix of chilli powder salt and dehydrated lime juice. It's standard on most fruit/veggies consumed on a stick or as street food.

Jícama, mango, papaya, watermelon, cucumber, a perfectly slimy coconut, and a few others are taken up a notch using this concoction.

A lime wedge wetting of a frozen beer mug edge + Tajín + salt and 2 limes worth at the bottom + ice + beer = michelada, a contraction of "mi chela helada" (my cold beer).

Most GWR/Bicolors are excellent Tajín candidates.

i had a friend who grew a pit viper from my starts this year and just brought me one. it is probably one of my favorites that I have tried this year. tangy and green inside.

Guess I am taking it off my tentative list. Most reviews say just meh.
