Redshirt! Exactly right! I feel I have wasted room on my peppers too. Funny you mention this. I had one the other day and I did not like it. This skin it was and hard or crunchy. Yulk, soft and thick I thought they were the same ones you buy at the store. What kind do we have to plant to get these peppers anyway? Your situation sounds exactly like mine. I have no room for more pots that I wish I could use in bigger sizes. It seems as if many of my tomatoes and other container vegetables are filled from the top to the bottom with roots and no room for a drink. Darn it. They did all too well..lol I have to water twice a day on hot days. By the way, you are NOT rude although at times I post directly to you and sometimes I think you are missing my words such as on the citrus forum. I actually enjoy conversation with you and I think you are missing many of my thoughts directed at you:-) Oh Josh! Wowowowowowo. Look at your peppers go! I knew as soon as your weather turned nice they would. You are doing all the right things and got them planted in a great mix. I guess weather can truly be a limiting factor no matter what we do. Thank goodness it is on your side lately. I can only imagine how warm your peppers must be, well HOT HOT HOT..lol. I'll bet that AL,'Tapla' would love to have a taste of your peppers... Fantastic work guys and such a pleasure to see the pictures. Look how green and healthy they look. Gotta love peppers. Redshirt, I shall have to have a gander at that video. Thank you for taking the time to share with us here and at the citrus forum. It is nice to see you there with us too! I miss AL there for sure at the citrus side. It is AL who helped me to get my citrus as healthy as they are in the gritty mix and keep them there. I can only share that knowledge with others and give back what that generous man has done for me. Jojo: Look at you go girl! Look at those babies and look how healthy they look. I have the feeling you are going to do ok with them. I would watch the hot sun and water more than once a day, but I know they will thrive in your care and mix. I love the colors on the mother plant. Even if you should not get any fruit, it is still such a pretty ornamental. Beautiful Jojo. Good work. I hope they do well for you and produce a bounty of delicious HOT peppers and thank you for your very kind words. Hi Emgardener. I wish you success. MIke

I got home last night and here is what has bloomed from my Lowes specials. 2 of the 3 aphrodite have bloomed and both are aphrodite( just beautiful). Of the 3 minerva 2 have bloomed one is a orange soverign, and the other was apple blossom. Of the 3 Apple Blossoms, 1 has bloomed it was Apple Blossom. Of the 3 Vera, one has bloomed and it was Vera, of the 3 Lady Jane, one has bloomed and it was Lady Jane, of the 6 susan, 1 has bloomed and it was Lady Jane, of the 6 Prince Carnivals, 1 has bloomed , I have no idea what it is. The stem is very tall over 20 inches it towers over the other plants. It is dark red, with a small white throat, and the outside is dark red w/white streaks. My husband took a picture of it, while I was at the coast. Looks like a few will bloom this week, I will post the results as I get them. Nothing is blooming at the coast, I have them in the ground with mulch, it was 30 degrees for almost 5 days. The leaves took a hit, but it looks like they are coming back since the weather is back int he high 60's. Yesterday afternoon we spent the day at the beach, and it was just full of cars, from Minn, Ill, Iowa, Mich, and Canada. Barbra

Great song choices. I played He Stopped Loving Her Today at my son's funeral. It was the first thing he said/sang when he started talking again at age 3. He has always loved George Jones. Leader of the Band is one of my favorite songs of all time. A song that my son loved was by one of his favorite bands Due West...So Long My Friend. He wanted it played at my sister's memorial but they couldn't do it live because they were touring. We played that song at his funeral as well, at the request of the lead singer of the band. It was written by Brad Hull of Due West. So Long My Friend - Brad Hull (B. Hull) Copyright 2006 Even though I don't want to accept it There comes a time when everyone moves on I know you can't stay here forever And still I never thought this day would come So long my friend I'll see you again But until then So long my friend You know that you kept so many waiting For you to make it to the other side They welcome you with arms wide open While I can't find the words to say goodbye These words I wish that I could tell you Are going to take some getting used to. I Wish You Were Here - Chelsea Musick (C. Musick, N. Peaytt, A. Hacket) Copyright 2007 I took your picture off the wall And put it by the bed Helps on those sleepless nights When I could use a friend When I look in the mirror I see your face But it's so hard to be mad When there's no one here to blame And I never thought I'd have to let you go Never thought I'd say goodbye I never thought I'd see The day my daddy cried I guess I better go Just wanted to say hello And I miss you more with every tear Signed, "I wish you were here" I know that you love me I still feel it in my heart Sometimes it's like you're here But we're so far apart I have so many questions I just want to understand If God can take you from us Why can't he bring you back You were the one who helped me through the day The one who wiped my tears away Now what am I supposed to do No one talked to me like you

I had a tape called Ace Cannon's Christmas or something like that. It had several beautiful Christmas songs done with his saxaphone. I played it every year for a long time. One year I took it to work for our Christmas party and it disappeared. I have searched high and low for another one. I went to his web sight a couple of years ago and there were a couple with some Christmas songs on them, but not the same one I lost. My mother plays music at some local clubs and local gatherings. One night Ace Cannon was there playing too. Mom called me and I went to where they were. I was able to talk to Ace Cannon, but he said he had nothing to do with his marketing and inventory and said to try his web sight. I told him I already did, but with no luck. He seemed genuinely sorry, but could offer no help. I haven't tried this year to find it, but I may try again. It would be so nice to find it. Linda
