The Additions to the Family

This past Saturday(April 22nd), I went to a community plant sale in Southeast Dallas, called Our Saviour Community Plant Sale. It's done by a group that handle four different community gardens in Dallas. They use organic gardening, and actually help the people in the communities where they grow. To quote their website gardendallas.org.:
"Our mission is growing people. Each year Gardeners in Community Development makes it possible for hundreds of Dallas area families, mostly low-income, to enjoy fresh vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers grown in our community gardens. These gardens enhance the quality of life in area neighborhoods in many ways, and provide a place to learn and share our joy of gardening with others."
Though I didn't know much about these guys until just recently, I'm now a big fan...

So at the sale, I picked four plants:

The tag said Rocatilo. But I can't find anthing by that name on the internet. I did find a Rocotillo. If the plant survives and bears fruit, I can compare them to the picture found at the ChilePlants.com site - Rocotillo.


This is a Mucho Nacho Jalapeno. I've never heard of it, but I've read some good things about it on the internet. It bears a lot of peppers, and they have good heat and flavor.


The classic Thai pepper. Used in all kinds of cooking, and it will hopefully bring the LOVE. Because, as we all know, love = pain.


This last one is yet another I have never heard of - Kung Pao pepper. At first I thought it was a joke, but yet again, the internet comes to the rescue. It seems like a Thai pepper, but it's bigger. And I have no idea what the heat from the peppers will be like. One site I've seen says they're more mild, while another says they are hot. I'm sure climate, watering, and how the wind blows makes a difference. I'll just see if I can keep it alive.

edit: In looking at this pictures, it just dawned on me that those pots may not be big enough for these plants. But they were all I had left, so what the hell...
