Cow horns???

But mild ja-lap-pin-nos. It's just not right. Mine seem to be just
right. Any hotter and I'd have to cut them with somethin' and I really
like the flavor when they are roasted. The cayenne and your cow-horns
have thick or thin skin? If I just wanted heat, I'd only grow habaneros.

Now I'm going to go risk my neck hanging a pot from one of the oaks. You
know, the extension ladder and uneven ground thing. Oy.

well, not sure if that's the technical name, but the local nursery told
my sister they were cow-horn pepper plants when she bought them. They
are similar to cayenne, but a bit thicker and longer. When fully
matured, they look just like a cowhorn. The pepper curves and is on
average about 12 inches long (or better) before color change. During
color change, the pepper has purple streaks to it.

Sounds like you should have your hands full with your garden. I know i
have mine full and all i have in the garden are some tomatoes: heirloom,
beefsteak, celebrity; cabbage collards (about 75 plants), a sweet butter
lettuce variety mix, 2 rows of crook-neck squash, potatoes, candy & snow
bell corn, pickling cukes, string beans galore, and purple hull & dixie
lee peas out the waazoo, and of course bell & hot peppers. Bells not
doing to great this year. Had some sweet peas, but they played out already.

Didn't do much on variety this year, cause i wasn't sure how much time i
would get to work in the garden with the two little ones. Just stuck
with the ones I knew do well here.

The cayenne & cow-horn are thin skin - i guess you would call it that
anyway. Its thin compared to jalapeno anyway. Oh, almost forgot, got
butter beans and a volunteer watermelon plant thats growing in the
string bean patch.

hope you didn't break your *pot!* lol. nah, you know to be careful with
that stuff by now, right?

Old men have no reason to go climbing ladders leaned up against trees.
I'm back down. The pot is up. And it wasn't the pot I was worried about
breakin'.

What you mean two rows of crook necked squash. Two plants and you have a
crook neck farm. Bet your neighbors run when they see you a comin'. Two
rows. Lord have mercy. Speakin' of the Lord, how did choir go this
mornin'?
