Re: Drought...

I started some from seed this year. Have three plants growing in a  
pot on the deck. Other than admiring them for their decorative  
quality, I had no plans to consume them. Will probably do so as an  
experiment, as we love spicy hot dishes. I find the plants so  
beautiful, I do plan to save seeds. Since I have no peppers anywhere  
near "Black Pearl", I suspect they should come true to type.
