After a meet'n'greet in which the new teacher had to learn all our names, we got extra playtime and Erin got to show off her splendidly smart new Pineapple designer skiing jacket that was so totally unrequired on this blazing hot day.

Trinidadian Scorpion Moruga Chilis are the hottest on the market currently so that's what we're growing. 19 of the reddest were picked and marked for processing.
