My plants are growing quite well and have lots of pods but none have ripened yet. I haven't even tasted any of the green ones yet.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-51040630494979887352009-08-25T09:00:09.945-07:002009-08-25T09:00:09.945-07:00Hi, where did you find seeds for the CHilhuacle Ne...Hi, where did you find seeds for the CHilhuacle Negro?

I've hardly touched on the subject of garden problems... Just lost my romanesco seedlings to a bunny last night *sigh*<br /><br />The Padrons are fantastic. I've never tried freezing them - should work, sweet peppers freeze well. Something to remember when the glut begins.

I would be so excited about the Black Sea Man tomatoes, I love big, purply/black tomatoes and am definitely going to start growing some like this next year - just getting the hang of standard red and yellow ones this year.

You are a marvel! Sorry about the losses, bugs, marauders and all the other pain in the butt stuff. Seems like you are getting more than they are on the whole, though which is always the goal, right?

I especially like to see your unusual varieties of peppers - the Chilhuacle negro and the marconi purple, as we couldn't get any of our seed-grown varieties to grow at all this spring, so we're stuck with the plants we could buy. I'm afraid you won't convert me to Pimento de padron peppers, though.
