9, 6, 6-4, RG 21.. and that list is definitely not entirely inclusive lol




I like scorpions flavor for that scotch bonnet-y side of habanero/ghost family, but there are a ton of cool milder and landrace habaneros ive tasted. white habs are super flavorful. personally i like a lot of habs better when they're still green, was thrilled to find bulk green habs the other day at a fancy grocery store i never go to. naturally i made some good salsa, froze the other few ($3!) lbs to ferment for sauce soon

Oh I get yer point. But I've dealt with too many folks over the years that wanna make a big thing of it. I get it.

I used to grow Walla Walla onions to sell at the farmers market. Not the same as what's grown in Washington. Also a patented name. Just called em sweet peppers. Cause they were.
Same with my Red Savina habs. Another protected name. I respect that.



As for matching Hatch chiles, for all intents and purposes sure. The differences are subtle on chiles. Whether or not things like the elevation, temp fluctuations etc. have a noticeable effect on plants isn't really up for debate, though.

I do recognize the differences that soil and climate make in growth and flavor. My chiles are what they are. And they are mine Not claiming any more than that.

Chile and Chili are grand topics I enjoy the points of view. Like the first time I received a green chile slopper in error at a restaurant. A beautiful mistake. All good In

Side note a part of my day today I’ve been reading on Civil War Generals who transferred to the Indian Wars. Sheridan-Custer etc. have you read how Custer “may” have been treated. Damn. Peppers are light reading

Carry on
