July 6 I made a mango-based hot sauce using my "Filipino-Mexican Tree Pepper" plus garlic, salt, bulk Vitamin C (to lower the pH) and coconut oil, kept it in the fridge. I just now tasted it as I work on making burritos.....excellent mango flavor, decent heat but not super hot.

David Whitwam is getting spectacular growth on this particular from of Rapini that failed for him in winter.....great pics on FaceBook! I've grown two other types of rapini but only in winter, so I'm ordering some seeds. Amazing to have an annual brassica in summer! John
