Harvested a few habanero this morning. You could almost hear the plant groan with relief when I was done. Also a few Anaheim, Fresno, seranno, pequin and chile del monte. Most of these will be dried and ground into powder. I need to harvest a bunch of tomatoes tomorrow.

Good advice Bez, I learned the hard way years ago. Wear gloves or make sure to scrape under your nails too! :)

Rooster, they all have their place, it depends on what I'm eating. Mango salsa wouldn't be as good w/out habanero, same is true of the others. If I could only grow 1, it'd probably be the chile del monte. Small, pea sized fruits that turn red when ripe. They are like picking embers from a fire, HOT but enjoyable, not face melting. It adds a very nice flavor too and the size makes "dosage" easily adjusted. These are not the same as chile pequin nor chiltepin. They form a large bush that grows as a perennial for me and gets covered with fruits. Serrano is another great workhorse of a pepper.
