[Sca-cooks] chili peppers

[Pixel, Goddess and Queen]

Well, I *was* supposed to be in SD, but it was cold and wet and raining
and muddy, and so we went home. Sigh. Anyway...

We do actually have a growing season up here, you know. It's not like it's
the polar ice caps, after all. ;-)

The pots are full of basil at the moment. It seemed like the thing to do
at the time--besides, I have no good cat-safe place for a potted plant of
any sort. I can't have any plants inside--the little furry demons consider
anything green in a pot as salad. Even miniature roses--you'd think the
thorns would be a detriment.

There should be enough chilis to warrant freezing them, though.
