Got my first zuch into the ground today. I had just finished planting
the pepper bed when I found my errant Corno di Toros (6). Now I either
plant fewer japlapeños or wait for the inevitable demise of some of my
other peppers (mostly Quadrato di Asti, which were trendy about 4 years
ago). I've started to lose some plants in small 6 packs that are out
side. They dry out so quickly. Rain coming in Tue. and part of Wed.,
after that we are into the high 80s and, for all intents and purposes,
summer. Still lots of gardening work to do, and I drag my digging board
with me everywhere.

Give my regards to your zuchs and tell them that I do promise to plant some
of their relatives next year.

Love the names of those peppers but I can't tell you any names of the ones I
planted other than Thai (small and hot) and 2 bigger and longer ones. I've
recently found a good Italian Seed producer though and intend to buy a lot
of seeds from them next year. But first I need to find an old Italian
gardener who can translate for me.

What's a 'digging board'? Anything like an Aborigianl digging stick? :-))
