2006: The year of the chile pepper, who knew?Posted Feb 28th 2006 3:30PM by Joe DiStefanoFiled under: Vegetables, AmericaSomehow between the excitement of Chinese New Year and the Winter Olympics I managed to miss this one. In addition to
being the Year of the Dog, 2006 has been dubbed the Year of the Chile Pepper by the National Garden Bureau. I'm glad the
organization has seen fit to recognize the hot pepper as its Vegetable of the Year, but as far as I'm concerned, I
devote every tear, er year, of my life to the piquant little devils. That said, the NGB has gathered a lot of
great growing tips and history, including the fact both Washington and Jefferson grew cayennes. [photo: smallfarms]
