>>> Part 2 of 2...
 SP> weeds almost did them in. Watering saved them when we returned, but
 SP> that crop was withered and tiny, despite a thick mulch. The new crop
 SP> looks much better. One that has done well is Lipstick, a sweet red
 SP> Shepherd-shaped pepper, much better than the fancy bells. And the
 SP> Delicias hot pepper gives a much more attractive fruit than
 SP> Jalapenos, but WOWEE! I used only the tip of one in some soup, and my
 SP> hubby wouldn't finish his bowl.
I throw my peppers in the freezer  whole and they work great in most recipes
i use them  in.   I like the pretty in purple as a house plant but we're not
into hot peppers either.
 HP>Hope you and Jim are both well.
 SP> Other than claiming I'm trying to poison him with hotstuff, and
 SP> despite seasonal allergies, we're doing as well as can be expected,
 SP> thanks. How are you and your Jim faring? Well, I hope.
We had a wonderful summer as Jim's daughter, whom he has not seen since she
was 6 months old, came with her husband and our two grand daughters to visit
for 3 weeks.  We all got along famously and I was in tears when we saw them
off back home again, but Jim still had some vacation time left so we are
going over at Christmas for 3 weeks to visit them.  I am as well as usual
but as I said, Jim has a cold right now.  My son is getting married in 2
weeks and I was at a shower for my future daughter in law today.
Glad to hear you are both well.  Did you enjoy your vacation?
