But my MIL likes to plunder my garden without asking or even a thank you and often takes the only ripe items without leaving some for me, so I don't feel guilty about chuckling over her getting a little hot. :)<BR/><BR/>Ki, bhut jolokia sounds like something the mailman should carry to keep away dogs. Good luck with them.<BR/><BR/>And I'm a big big poblano fan too.<BR/><BR/>Entangled, welcome and thanks for visiting. Sometimes folk wisdom is the way to go.Anthonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06836531596317603886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-64543676456684946572007-10-07T13:24:00.000-04:002007-10-07T13:24:00.000-04:002007-10-07T13:24:00.000-04:00Anthony, Annie sent me, and I'm pleased to meet you. The Chile Institute at New Mexico State insists that peppers need 2" of water per week, but I'm inclined to agree with you and the folk wisdom on the subject. It's my first year growing peppers in our current location, but they turned out hotter here than when I grew them 100 miles north of here. We have sandy soil at the new place and it's been a dry year. I haven't watered them at all since shortly after planting them. They're getting very wilted after 3 weeks without rain, however, and I'll probably haul some water up to them later today.<BR/><BR/>My M-I-L can probably eat waaay hotter peppers than I can, by the way. ;-)Entangledhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07261805004615133289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-36856503185197557112007-10-05T14:22:00.000-04:002007-10-05T14:22:00.000-04:002007-10-05T14:22:00.000-04:00I like medium hot ( my definition of it anyway) and grew Hungarian this year. They were nicely hot and full flavored, produced really well.Ilonahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07035401683506659646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-43537868845751209062007-10-04T20:28:00.000-04:002007-10-04T20:28:00.000-04:002007-10-04T20:28:00.000-04:00Philo likes them hot, Anthony, but I like roasted poblanos myself. Send your mother-in-law for beer or milk instead... she needs dairy or alcohol to dissolve the heat. We mothers-in-law must stick together! <BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-65282113616111787182007-10-03T10:41:00.000-04:002007-10-03T10:41:00.000-04:002007-10-03T10:41:00.000-04:00Our jalapenos weren't hot enuf, tasty but not enough heat. Similarly the cayenne peppers were tasty but not hot enough. We bought some poblano peppers at the local farmer's market and that has a very good taste if you want pepper with no heat. I just bought some bhut jolokia seeds the hottest pepper in the world at over 1 million scoville units from the NMSU pepper institute. Will let you know how they turn out next year.Kihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05576859749293959381noreply@blogger.com
