tomatoes, extending season, peppers (was: ok, Gunner...
"Gunner" wrote in message ... it's all good, likewises, songbird Bird, a roll of Visqueen and 10' PVC pipe are cheap. easy to make a tall hoop to give ya ~ a month's stretch on the fall side jump. You get enough sun to make it worth the while till it dips below freezing every night , then again in the spring another 3 weeks but even better is starting your seedlings. Me? Not w/o lights. I gotta run also, have to do some homework on a new system I want to get in before winter. It may not be this year tho. Best to all Dam Gunner, you had to leave out my favorite chili. There's nothing like poblanos! Choose the variety carefully, some are wimpy mild and some are spicy. My favorite is "Tiburon". It has a very fruity heat and is delicious in any Latin type dish. If you season is long enough they mature to a deep mahogany. Dry them and the flavor is wonderfully spicy raisons. IMHO the fruity heat is by far the best of the chilies. |

I do agree wholeheartedly w/ ya about the "raisin" and Chile en Nogada is an all time fav, but most here do not appreciate it enough for me to make often. So that just for me and the wife. I usually keep an oz or two of Ancho powder on hand, using it instead of Paprika. But know I just picked this evening a nice Poblano that was changing colors. The heat; high 80s for 4-5 hrs but nights in the high 40-low 50s. Beautiful deep maroon with green highlights. There a bit small and sparse here in the open. It was only 2 x 3 inches but still such a pretty color. Only got 10-12 still left on the plants and the growing phase is pretty much over with the Indian summer fading more quickly than I would like. So some peppers and some toms are going to go down green. Here is the Wiki thing for those still curious about what your talking about: "The poblano is a mild chili pepper originating in the State of Puebla, Mexico. Dried, it is called a chile ancho. " |
