Re: peppers

Hot peppers seem to do better in the heat than the sweet bells.  But I'm sold on these Italian heirlooms - no more "down time" during the summer for this bell pepper fan.  I can't eat the hot ones, so the only hot ones I grow are the small ornamental jobs in pots - so pretty w/ their little multi-colored fruits!  Nosegay is my cuurent favorite - gorgeous!!
