Signs of Horticultural Success

A Cowhorn pepper, growing on my deck.

Sounds very Texan. (When I go looking, though, the pictures look just like the Italian and Turkish peppers I see in the grocery stores here.)

Is that a hot pepper, Maureen? I like the loop in the main stalk. Is that how it got the 'horn' name? I have a few pepper plants and a tomato plant growing on my sun porch - where the Deer can't get to them! -Michelle

David, I think it's basically a variety of generic chili pepper. It will eventually get red, I hope. But it is proof that gardining is not for, well, naught. And we had some of my lemon basil on Thai food the other night.

Michelle, that is a hot pepper. In fact, it's Bob's hot pepper since he asked me to get a hot pepper plant when I got my TWO tomato plants. Both heirlooms. Neither, however has 'set blossoms' whatever that mean. At least, not yet.
