Tsalagi  all I can say is you have to taste the bhoot's to believe how hot they are,I use them in some marinades and use only a quater of what I would normaly use and its explosive.The nag jolokias are a bit milder but a lot more flavourful not just explosive heat.thai and nag jolokia is what i mainly use,Next time you make chili use some of the fresh thai,you will notice the difference in taste.propably eat more.lol

Mike- are the peppers and tomato cross-polinating (which I doubt) or is something going on with with soil?  Could the hot oils from the pepper just be transferred if you are picking them at the same time?

Jeff...it's from the Pepper Roots intertwining with the Tomatoes.....don't have a thing to do with Polination....if you put two in Pots on a Deck next to eachother...this won't happen...only when the Roots can mingle...try it...they are like eating a Snappy Tom drink....... ;D

Shikari, well, if I ever see a nag jolokia, I'll buy one and see. In the next couple weeks, it's roasted green chile season here and everyone's already getting anxious, myself included.

Thanks for clarifying that Mike!  I wonder if this works with other plants ???  I've never heard of this, so I'm interested in giving it a try!!

Careful with the mints, very invasive and multiply fast.
 I have several types of containers and raised beds, have some self watering containers that are cheap and easy to make too, great way to garden in small space.

Our mints don't have long enough here to become invasive. Flagstaff has four seasons:

Don't fool yourself, the mints are even invasive here.
Glad to hear the garden went off well. Mine got so big I couldn't keep up.
Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you made a bad decision.

Monster sguash. We had, I say had, a friend who gave us one squash plant this spring. She said it was the best winter squash she had ever had. I planted it in the bed with some paddypans and now her squash plant is thirty feet long and still growing. The squash are the size of watermelons!! The composted turkey manure I put in may have something to do with it. It is like the Little Shop Of Horrors.
