Thanks for all your responses. I gave a couple if the peppers to my son who eats jalapeños as often as he can. He said the tiny bit he ate was very hot but had a great flavor. He is going to make a sauce based on his habanero sauce recipe. I have been surprised and thrilled with your responses.

Judy, we have so many members from Texas that I had to use a different map from this one just to SEE Athens.
It looks like there are 5 other members closer to you than 20 miles.

There's another way to look for ATP members living near each other: at the bottom of every page, squint until you can see "memberlist"
( http://garden.org/users/member... )
That has a search feature.
