Tepin /Petin

[BBQ-Phil]

I know what Tepin is,off course,but I asked a cousin of mine wich lives in the Hill-Country,north of San Antonio,Texas for some fresh Tepins that are growing next to his house. Now he asked me if I talk about Chile Petin??? What is the difference? I know the Chile Petin exist,because I have a mug of Chile Petin-Onionjelly here.

Cross Country carries a pepper called Chili Petene, it's a pequin type.

The one you're talking about appears to be a naturalized pepper, though. Kewl.

Oh yeah, if you do get one, wanna share some seeds?

The link you gave keeps giving me error messages.

Wow, you're growing your own mesquite? That's dedication!

[BBQ-Phil]

Yes....and I ordered more seeds.You can get mesquite chunks here but they are very expensiv.

[imaguitargod]

We have sooo many Mesquite trees out here in LA.

[BBQ-Phil]

And do you also have lots of mesquite seeds in your area? ;)
