Capsicum, the 2016 Herb of the Year, will be the focus of our January program. Johnnie Pearson began growing hot peppers in the late 1950s. He grows peppers from seed and makes fiery sauces using vinegar and peppers from his garden. He’ll grow over a dozen hot peppers this year including Bhut Jolokia, also known as Ghost Pepper, the world’s hottest pepper. Join us for the first meeting of the new year on Tuesday, January 19, 6:00 pm at the Loeb Center, Old Alabama Town. Members, bring your favorite cold weather herbal dish for the pot luck.
