	I keep hearing this, but I have never experienced it. I have often grown
Hot and Mild peppers quite closely mixed and never had a problem.
	I think the myth is reinforced by the fact that Hot peppers will vary
wildly depending on soil and weather conditions. When there are no mild
peppers near by, folk will say it is the weather, but when there -are- mild
ones near they will blame that.
