There's some new folks in my garden. One of my small chili plants that I had given up as a basket case suddenly sprung to life last week. It must have doubled its height in a week and is now offering yet another chili variety.
These folks are black or purple. I consulted my geneological table. They could be Aussie Blacks, Royal Blacks, or Chocolate, Tasmanian, or Lava Drop Habaneros. I'll be keeping a close eye on them.
And yet another variety - these ones are square-bodied like a baby bell pepper. Rocoto, perhaps?
I planted some spring lettuce - 3 varieties - 7 days ago. They are already hale and hearty. I'll be thinning them out soon (sob). And I'm saving the best till last:
These are most certainly Habaneros of some variety. The slight flush on the cheeks of some makes me think perhaps Yellow, New Mexico Suave or Red Savinas. I wrote and sent pics to the Chili Godfather John Leone (no, not Corleone), he who originally gave me the chilies from whence these have decended, and he will advise me as soon as they are ripe.
