Hot Peppers

While planting my sweet pepper bed, I decided to tuck in some hot peppers. Unbeknownst to me I bought one more 3-pack of sweet, instead of the extra pack of hot peppers that I had intended to buy. I couldn't count on remembering which was which by just labeling the rows. So...I decided that each hot pepper plant needed labeling. I don't know about you but I buy a LOT of things on clearance that I think I might use in the future. One such purchase was a 100-pack of plastic plant markers, 6 inches tall x 1/2 inch wide, white. I took some bright red spray paint and painted most of one side to mark each label. After drying I stuck them in the ground, to the north of all of my hot peppers. I have nearly 20 Jalepeno's and...some other hot pepper, marked to be "The Hottest of the Hot" peppers in the world! ...I'm not that impressed. I just know that they will make great Salsa, and superb hot pepper spray.
BTW, If you do NOT garden, I can assure you that the plants look pretty much identical. AND, if you plant the species, "Ancho Problano", the fruit LOOKS like a green or red sweet pepper! In 2010 I had some of these volunteer in my bed. I didn't know this until I was preparing stuffed peppers. I usually like to cut the tops off and snack around the stems while I'm stuffing--'cause they're so tasty. Man, I think I consumed a whole pint's worth of vanilla yogurt trying to kill the burn!!
I THINK that maybe we weren't REALLY supposed to eat these plants! =b
