Ah. I would not have been surprised if he was a botanist.

However, I am also not surprised he seems oblivious to some of the purposes of international customs checks.

I did not have expectations either way.

I have successfully harvested my first Jalafuego!

According to the Internet is is quite undersized.
At approximately 2 inches, half the expected size.

how big are its hands?

Chopped it, grilled it and ate it with some hash-browns. It seemed slightly less hot than a regular green jalapeño to me but it's been a while since I had a fresh one.

Production is up this year. Two more Jalafuego peppers grew. One deformed and split so I composted it.

Last week I harvested one. It's awaiting consumption. Might make a very small batch of hot sauce. There is currently a fourth one growing.

UPDATE: We made the thick chunky sauce. I chopped the pepper by hand. Fortunately it's pretty mild, I touched my eye at least twice.

My first small pepper pick of the year was about 24 peppers....

My first small pepper pick of the year was about 24 peppers....

Our neighbour gave us two pepper plants. So far, one of them has produced a pepper. The other is still thinking about it.

My daughter is excited beyond belief to find out she has a green thumb.

It would have another but when I went to pollinate the thing the other flower broke off.

I don't know where we would cook if I grew enough plants to produce 24 peppers in our kitchen.

I have 20 pepper plants this year. Dude, I'd hook you up with recipies and make you my canning bitch Your kids can pick the blueberries to flavor our pepper jelly!

Blueberry pepper jelly sounds pretty good. I'm hoping the border opens but I don't know if my family is ready to travel.
