Peppers are easy. Surely Texas has a place where they can grow peppers!

Irwindale has something like 900 voters and is run like a business.

Sriracha racked up ZERO complaints in 30 years at their previous location, yet suddenly FOUR at this new place, and the first couple were logged by the SON of the key person on the city council.

Basically Irwindale is another Bell, California, where everyone in the city gummint was running the place and paying themselves like Boss Hoggs from The Dukes of Hazzard.

Irwindale want$ to be paid off, but i$ too $mart to put it in $o few word$.

Nothing like an example of getting screwed by the Californicators.

It would be better with peppers. Rosters tend to get all soggy.

Yes, you must live around here. You have pegged Irwindale to a tee! And it’s such a dirty, gritty place because of all the gravel pits.

I’m just thrilled to learn from this article that El Nino chances are up to 78%!

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently raised the probability for El Niño conditions developing before the end of the year to 78 percent, which will lead to a wetter winter in California.

I have been tracking oceanic temperatures against rainfall levels on the Central Coast of California for ten years. I can tell you for a fact that although El Nino events may correlate with increased rainfall in California when averaged over many years, there is zero predictive value when it comes to any particular year. The correlation numbers I have calculated are very low.

Oh, the government just says stuff. There’s no real expectation that any of it is backed up by facts.

When you live in the west (as I know you do), rain is like money, it doesn’t exist until it’s in your pocket.

I hear you. Peppers can be grown just about anywhere. If you’re into them (and brother, am I ever), you can grow them in pots on your porch if you really have to. I’ve got three or four different varieties in flats that’ll be ready to transplant into the garden in another three weeks or so. And remember: the Scoville chart is your friend.

Oh I know that, but I did want other FReepers to know that it's all smoke and mirrors, and not just with regard to glow-bill warming.

Is there a kid within 20 miles of Ventura County who hasn’t visited Underwood Family Farms on a field trip and returned with an armload of vegetables they picked themselves? What a great place! I was amazed when I found out that they grow all of Huy Fongs chili peppers.

Did you know that Huy Fong has no marketing or sales budget? Their sales growth over 20 years has all been word of mouth.

Even if you get it, it can be money down the storm drain. Erosion rates here can get pretty extreme, but then, so can droughts.
