Tobasco G Hot Peppers

"The Pepper Chili Tabasco Greenleaf, `Capsicum frutescens,' produces very hot fruits with a uniquely smoky flavor. The peppers are used for sauce and either fresh or dried in spicy Asian, Cajun or Creole dishes. Tabasco Greenleaf is a disease resistant plant that has been used in the famous sauce for over one hundred and thirty years. They should be planted in average garden soil with sufficient organic matter. Peppers will use quite a bit of water, but will prefer to be watered deeply and not very often. The fruits should be harvested when they begin to turn from green to red. Gloves should be worn at all times while harvesting, and hands should be washed immediately after."
