WalMart must have mislabeled our plants. We thought we were getting
mild banana peppers. I took a bite of one last week and it blew my
eyes out.

My neighbor is a hot pepper fiend...he eats our habanero sauce on
crackers, and this one blew his eyes and socks off as well. And
melted his face.

It was hot.

This is why I gave up buying flats of peppers. Every year for the past
six summers I bought what was supposed to be sweet and got atomic heat,
even when I bought them from different nurseries.

I think there are sadists out there switching label stakes on the flats.

Even my husband wouldn't eat them last year. Not even the slugs, or the
dog that eats jalepenos as snacks. She bit down on one, and was shaking
her head and snorting and giving me dirty looks for about a half hour.

The only things that ever turned out to be what they were supposed to be
was when I started them from seed.
