I love plants, but so far in the last few years I've not been in a location
Where I could try food plants.
I DO have a friend with a garden, and I now live not too far from her.
I doubt she would appreciate any cross pollination between a
Super hot pepper and any of her bells, chili or jalapenos.
Many years ago, my mother planted bell peppers almost
Alongside cherry peppers and hot chili peppers.
The resulting fruits of the bells and cherry were hotter
Than they should have been.
Who knew? We did then. Also, she had arranged for
A load of pure chicken compost (raising chickens
In long factory houses is big business down
Where I am from, so their droppings are
Problematic to dispose of. That may
Have been a factor.) I've been
Cautiously adventurous with
Habanero peppers; don't
Like the heat THAT
Much, so I'll stick
With my Poblano
And Jalapeno.
