Re: Pepper Possibilities

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

>I grew many habs last year. The ones in the sfg reached a height in
excess> of 5' each planted in it's own square. The one's planted 'not' in the
sfg > area only reached about 2' tall - same plants, go figure.

*Since the auspices from which you venture forth are not atall insignificant,
I reluctantly inquire as to soil, but especially
conditions surrounding shade/moisture/humidity???

>Such misery, peppers, loves company :-)

*I believe it becomes obvious, from addition of all these wonderful posts,
sufficient humidity/semi-shade in hotter clime is an issue.
Thus, they like slight crowding... i.e. 1/SqFt, Yes?

>I like hot peppers occasionally but learned the hard way not to eat
them more than one day in a row. They were hotter coming out than when they
went in :-)

*Companion planting, Aloe Vera? (Pre-Petroleum Jelly as a substi'toot.')

*I'm interested in the peper swap.  Will have to dig out my one trade and ID
it.  I believe itwould be a 6-7, moderately rather warm, slim, not skinny,
red.

>Nice> landscape plant which often has small white blossoms, tiny green
peppers> and red peppers on the plant, all at the same time.

*I have read they are a nice housepalnt and think I agree.
Save a special one to pot and bring in in the fall.

>Is there any possibility I could grow some of these interesting sounding
plants in z5 NY.  I know the shorter season would be a problem but I could
provide them with a mini green house I plan to build out of used surplus
storm windows.

*A tomato cage with plastic cover, anchored against breezes?

Remember:  You are WOMAN!
Sometimes the best man for the job is a woman.
You CAN do it all!
Have a pepper... ROAR a little!
Happy Valentines Gals!
Have a really really, hot time!
