I grow mainly habeneros and use them for salsa and dry and crush some for cooking. Last season I had 60 habenero plants. I've mailed a lot of the flakes to F.R. members at no charge, I even pay the postage. Not a profitable venture. It's a hobby for me.

I live in central Illinois and don't have a long enough growing season to start from seed and no place inside to start them, so I buy plants at a nursery at about $2.00 per plant. I'd have to charge a premium price to go commercial.

This past season as I was peeling and chopping tomatoes for salsa (also from my garden) I told my forgetful friend Gabz, that it might be helpful to find an illegal alien to do it for me but you can never find one when you really need him.

I'll be happy to ship you all the illegals you need - free of charge and I'll pay the postage :)

Mother nature was not kind to me last year and I lost over 500 pepper and tomato plants. Hopefully I will do better this year.
