I spotted the first chile pequin plant of the summer in our yard on Tuesday. It’s in a particularly feral corner of the lot, growing up out of some dump-fill dirt at the edge of the bluff, mixed in with inland sea oats and poison ivy under the shade of some hackberrys but still able to soak up the hot sun of mid-day. The chile pequins are probably my favorite plant in our wild yard, in part because of what they teach about the deep history of the land, and also because they taste so damn good.
