That looks pretty ! What are those strawberries called ?
I ordered Mora de Boise strawberry plants in spring, but non of them make itPicked these last night before today's storm. Covered with a row cover to keep pests away and let them ripen to nearly perfection. Sweet, very aromatic, and delicious. Mostly Mara de Bois. Can't find something like this in a store. I feel so fortunate.
I would be interested to buy some from you. Thanks in advance.

This year was the first time my Maekawa Jiro produced. It made 11 flowers which all of them dropped off.

I’m not sure chili is a specific type. I think that’s a generic term for hot peppers. Not sure
. In general jalapeños are pretty mild.

Jalapeño is a chili (chile) pepper. I think what the sell in stores as chili pepper are typical Hungarian wax, poblano, Anaheim, Serrano, etc. Id they most of the time they are milder than jalapeño. Like sriracha. Anaheim, Hungarian wax, poblano, or similar. Aji peppers are not as hot either. Hotter than jalapeño will be Serrano, cayenne, and so on, they are typically sold under their names so people know. Just my 2 cents.I’m not sure chili is a specific type. I think that’s a generic term for hot peppers. Not sure

When someone says chili though to me that could be a variety of peppers and not just one specific one. Here is a Scoville scale for reference on pepper hotness.

I spotted this caterpillar today. I don't if it's something that is harmful to my plants or not. Anyone know what kind of caterpillar it is? When I first saw it, I thought it was a small snake because of the color pattern on it. The first pic is the caterpillar and the second pic is a small snake that I caught this spring. I released the snake in the backyard unharmed.

I think Jalapeños are a type of chile. Jalapeños are not very hot, especially if you remove the seeds.

I may have to try growing Tabasco peppers.
Jalapeños are on the mild side, habanero’s are too hot for fresh eating and cayennes are too small.
That being said, I’m growing the three at bottom of list, paprika peppers and ghost peppers.

When I was growing habaneros and jalapeños, I thought the same thing. I got some serrano peppers at the grocery store because I thought it might be a good pepper that is hotter than jalapeño but not as hot as habanero. I did not like the flavor of Serrano. I don't know if you have tried that one. You might like it. I am just sticking to jalapeño. I like the flavor. If there is one out there that tastes just like it but is a little hotter, I would like that.

There are actually several different types of jalapeños with different heat levels. Surprisingly lots of different peppers, tomatoes, etc
