I’m in Indiana, and I’ve got jalapeno plants in containers, and they’re setting fruit like mad. So are the bell peppers. I’ve got one bell pepper that is about the size of a tennis ball. So, I guess I’m doing something right. Either that, or it’s a fluke.

I figure most people who like peppers also tend to like hotsauces. I thought you folks would get a kick out of this ad for hotsauce. I like the way this lady thinks and wish to subscribe to her newletter. Keep in mind the food she is talking about.
