Golden Nugget is not too hot and the plant isn't too large. The leaves are slightly variegated with full sun. Mine is 14 inches tall by 18 inches wide. It has a spreading habit like a habanero but taller. Some of the photos IÂve seen of it on the internet donÂt give it justice. ItÂs an attractive little plant. Fruit Basket is a thin walled orange bell that is a bit spicy. It has a spreading habit and only get about 10 inches tall. It looks great in containers and hanging baskets. Black Pearl is a beautiful ornamental that would make a lovely garnish, however I wouldnÂt eat it. I placed a piece (didnÂt eat it) to my tongue and my eyes and nose watered terribly. Finally I took a Benadryl to relieve the burning.

Cycler, I'm having the same issues. I don't think turning down the screw on the sprinkler valve is an ultimate solution, because in my case the sprinkler valve is actually starting to leak. I have two valves that are emitting a small stream of water from the place where a big plastic screw can be turned to reduce the flow. I'm going to have to put in an inline pressure reducer before it goes to all the valves to be sure I don't damage any more valves. In my case, it's easy to do this, because I installed my connection to the pressurized irrigation system. I ran a pipe up the side of my garage and attached it to the existing sprinkler system after cutting off the line that went to the culinary water. I'll just have to dig up a piece by the garage and put the pressure reducer in. I hope I can get the right balance of enough pressure to keep the sprinklers shooting as far as they need to go and enough reduction to protect from leaks. I also hope I don't have any hidden leaks underground somewhere in a pipe joint. In the next few years, I expect my city to start metering the irrigation water, and I don't want to find out I'm using way too much (and have to pay way too much!) because of a leak I didn't know about.

I always roast brussel sprouts and radishes together and we have it at least once a week and love it! So easy and so GOOD! BTW, radishes are fabulous in tempura! Try to find small radishes because then you will not have to cut them in 2 as takes longer to cook the radishes then the sprouts. This time of the year most of the radishes seem to be large. And I've tried different varieties of radishes too but all seem about the same. Clean the radishes and if they are more then say 1" long you will have to cut them in 2 as they take longer to cook then the Sprouts. Just trim the stem end of the Sprouts but do not cut in half as it will ruin the visual appeal. I try to choose Sprouts uniform in size but it really does not seem to matter as they cook quickly. Put the sprouts and radishes in a large bowl and drizzle with EVOO and about 2-3 T. of melted butter and fresh ground pepper. I add a small amount of salt after roasting. Mix well and put in a shallow baking dish and bake at 400 degrees for about 30-40 minutes. When the Sprouts start getting black, and the blacker the better, the dish is done. The purple cauliflower is very nice in this dish as it turns a deep royal purple when roasted. I've tried potatoes and beets in this dish too, but they seem like filler and really can not compete with the flavor of the Sprouts and Radishes. This is a very colorful dish! The Sprouts do loose a bit of the fresh green color but are still green with some black from roasting. And the radishes retain their red and white. Good luck and I hope this helps!! Michelle

FWIW, according to photographer Caroline Parker of Rose Notes: "'Common Moss' [Rosa centifolia muscosa] does very well in pots. The two shown in the [linked] picture: http://rosenotes.typepad.com/.a/6a010535bf3807970c01156ef0b7ca970c-pi  have been in those pots for twenty years. If they mildew, I’ll cut them back once or twice in a season. New leaves generate quickly. Since the rose blooms once, it receives one dose of fertilizer as new leaves emerge in spring." See also: http://www.rosenotes.com/2009/04/rose-of-the-week-moss-rose.html Common moss is a sport of Rosa centifolia, which was grown extensively in Southern France for perfume (in the form of rose oil, presumably). Parker lives in San Francisco, I believe. Some clones may be smaller and even more amenable to pot culture.
