ENTIRE bag of dog treats in front him, he wasn't giving up his fun for one or two treats...) Of course I quickly scooped back most of the treats once I had chucked the little chicken safely over the fence.
This year I got three packets of seeds from Renee's Garden-her seeds and those of Cook's Garden have always performed for me. So I decided to try Corno di Toro, Pizza My Heart-see this picture from their website shows the marvelous crops I will get LOL
and a new type of habanero called "suave"
this is what the packet says about it. I'll let you know how it turns out!
I planted Renee's Thai Chile Duo last November, and one of the plants is still putting out peppers.
I have to also plant some aji dulce/Trinidad seasoning peppers and some type of hot pepper-haven't decided which ones yet- I have seeds of several types saved. In Caribbean cooking, both seasoning and hot peppers are used in almost every dish, and some dishes require these to bring out the characteristic flavour. I also use these in many European dishes eg lasagna, pasta sauces -I even add them to my pesto to give it a kick.

Congrats on the new puppy! I love hot peppers but the best we can is the cayenne, I think the plant is beautiful with the red peppers on it, I plant some every year.
Sounds like a scary puppy. I know they are very headstrong. My sis had one it was quite a struggle when her first son was born. They had to give the dog away unfortunately because he did not accept the new family member. Anyhow - good luck on the peppers! Andrea
We had one plant of Corno di Toro a year or so ago and liked the peppers. If we'd seen the plants again we'd have grown them again this year. Good luck with yours!
Just the phrase 'feral chickens' is cracking me up, Nicole - even though the phenomenon may be real, it still sounds hilarious to link these two words.

Please post some pics of your '80 pound rottweiler puppy', he sounds interesting!
I love peppers, can't wait to see how true the promises on that packet turn out.
Feral chickens? LOL Here we have feral cats but chickens? Not so much. ;-)
Good luck with growing your hot and cold peppers, Nicole! BTW there are still a few red hot peppers and sweet black ones growing in my greenhouse.
I hope you have a great harvest, Nicole :)
HI Nicole, thanks for the info on the bitter lemon, a very interesting plant. I am also preparing my vegetable garden, by this time I am a little late but the weather here has been so hot and humid
Thank, Iowa Gardening Woman. Good to know another hot peppers lover. I also just love to see the peppers in their many colors.
Andrea –headstrong he is! Too bad they had to give the dog away but I am sure adjusted- and you cant be too careful with a baby.
Thanks, Annie in Austin good to hear the Corno di Toro is a good choice.
Annie, Yolanda Elizabet-I never knew about 'feral chickens' until I moved to the present island-they live all over in the bushes! At an office I used to work the
(American) senior partner used to occasionally get up and chase them out the garden! It was too funny to watch.
Thanks, wildlife gardener-we’ll see how it goes.
Best of luck, Rusty its also been hot and humid here.
Yummmm - the habaneros look good. My husband loves to grow them, but they are typically to spicy for our food. We used to bet people money that they couldn't eat a whole one. I'd like to try one of the milder ones.
