FlyinHeadlock 459 Posted September 21, 2020 I don't like sweet onions. Reminds me of the smell of my fat college roomate with diabetes type II. God did that fvker stink. The fumes followed him around like that Snoopy dust cloud kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think in my place, we go through about 7+ jalapenos a week for the 2 of us. We only buy serranos for accents on some dishes. Jalapenos are probably my favorite peppers (along with the right dishes that is) out there. I also buy cayenne at certain online vendors to get the higher Scoville scale cayenne for a bunch of dishes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can’t really buy too many cause wife can’t take spicy foods while I love it. Down here we just dont get a lot of hatch green chilies like we did in San Antonio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fricker66 91 Posted September 30, 2020 Mookz requested an onion update in the trout thread, so here you go. As of 2:00 p.m. EDT today, I can report that 17 onion plants have grown taller than 6" on this rebirth. There are 7 onions that are showing limited growth of less than 6, but are still hopeful. There are 3 bulbs that are currently above ground and not exhibiting growth but are turning green, which suggests that they may sprout shortly. Thank you for caring.
