Baldwin EMC

Our Baldwin EMC Linemen bounced over the other day to trim the east-side of the farm, and they brought in some big equipment to get it done. The tree line has moved past the power lines. The last time they were here in full force, was the day after Katrina hit us. Diane and I were visiting from Cali, so we watched as pine tree after pine tree snapped and fell on our power lines. Out here the only line coming in is power. OK, we also have a phone line, but you can live with out that. Everything here (our well pump for example) runs on electricity.

I want one of these!

So for the past few days they have been cutting the tree line back, up to 20 feet in some places. I will try and post a few pics of the path they chewed up, as soon as I get a chance. Looks like I have this winter’s fire wood in a manageable size.

Our 2010 Very Hot to Insane Hot Chile Pepper Plants

Charleston Hot, Habanero Chocolate, Dean Pepper (No clue what it is, the seeds came from Dean) Chiltepin Fort Prescott, 2 Siling Labuyos, Scotch Bonnet Yellow, 3 Ghost Chilies (Bhut Jolokia), Hawaiian Sweet Hot and 3 Habanero Red Savinas (smaller pots). [Front to Back]

We have to pot them up and keep them as far away as we can from our sweet peppers due to cross-pollination issues. A Friggitello or Marconi Purple might be ruined if the bees buzzed them after one of these devils.
