The BossLady grabbed us a Bakers Creek catalog and I don't remember seeing the Tabasco seeds in there this year. I'll have to double-check to make sure tho. I definitely going to get into some Tabasco and scotch bonnet this year and possibly some Thai pepper to expand into those asian flavors.

Thai not as productive but have real nice flavor one of my favorites as my entire above ground garden is 10 x 10 I've gotta plan carefully & stick with known producers but that's what keeps things interesting

Going big in the tomato world as well. If I was to recommend one Tomato as my current favorite I would say "Ace 55" it has a great size and a square-like shape that slices with an appropriate amount of meat. Taste is on point. If anyones looking for something newer and hasn't tried it I don't believe you'll be disappointed.

I've had ghost , Carolina reaper &`trinidad scorpion in my garden the past few years & the tabasco topped them all this little gem of a pepper is way underrated I've never had or grown the scotch bonnet yet but the tabasco compares to the others in heat & flavor but easier to grow I'm enjoying salsa made from garlic , onion , fermented tabasco, rice vinegar & sea salt I think there other sources than baker creek for these seeds
Heck ya Herk, it's that time again! I need to find a good Tabasco line. I ordered some paper latern habenero last night and I still have some Jalefeugo Jalapeño and cayenne from last season. I usually get all my veg seeds from Johnny's but they had slim pickings last night, think I need to branch out

I run burpee & baker creek & whatever else that looks promising
I actually wound up placing an order with Baker Creek shortly after posting that... Johnny's emailed me they ran out of some of my tomatoes and cukes I ordered so I decided to try these guys on your recommendation.... got some Tabasco and Poblanos coming my way now

The pabliano is a mild well flavored chili that makes good rellenos I roast them on my bbq grill then use them in chili I'm really wanting to roast them & put them in my smoker
Yeah, chile rellenos is standard fare in my house. I basically just grow them for that and only make it when I have my own poblanos. Ive virtually never bought a poblano in my life lol. I do usually dry some to make anchos for Chile's and sauces. Last year I got 3 total poblanos and im still kind of sad about it

They're dirt cheap here that's why I havent grown those or Anaheim the new Mexico hatch I'm wanting though

40 plants seems like a lot until you actually lay them out
Yeah, I remember when I was living in Cali briefly the produce markets were incredible. We've gotten better over the years but obviously the short growing season here is a hindrance. The markets near me rarely have chile's other than jalapenos and cayennes, and they aren't very good. Sometimes I can find habeneros.
Speaking of, I'm real jealous your starting seeds already. I'm probably looking at mid to late March at the earliest. Need to get all the weed seedlings off the light racks too lol

after all the cold weve got a week of 70.f days coming the weather here is like a roller coaster
Every winter that passes I'm growing fonder of the idea of moving somewhere with a longer growing season...
