Early harvest

[jackb]

Today, it was about 80 degrees; for the first time ever in March I had to apply the shade cloth to the greenhouse, as the temperature in there was about 95 degrees. My wife wanted to know if I could spare a few peppers for dinner. I asked how many she wanted and she said three. When I handed her the three peppers she said: "Oh My God."

OMG indeed! I don't even think I like you, Jackb!! You get the gardening prize for today, for sure!!

Yeah Jack, way to make us feel inadequate!

We just had the peppers for dinner and my wife asked what kind of peppers they were. I asked why she wanted to know, and she said she has never seen any in the market, or bought peppers that tasted so good. My reply was that I doubted a farmer would pay fourteen cents a seed to plant a field full of these. And, that if you don't grow them, you will never get to taste them. That is one of the things I really like about growing my own.

So... are you going to tell us what they are, or do we have to beg?

I apologize, I thought I mentioned them in a previous post. They are hybrid Giant Marconi peppers, not to be confused with regular Marconi, which are also very good, but not as large.

Ooops, you're right, so you did. I thought those buggers looked familiar!

JackB, I always feel depressed looking at your stuff. Why can't my stuff look like yours? I can't even grow bell peppers here.

I am sorry Mary. Perhaps your temps are not suitable for peppers. They love heat.
