Re: Peppers in the SQFT Garden

In actuallity, it is the seeds from the plants that are supposed to grow
unpredictably hot or mild peppers. But I know that I grew some habaneros
near bells and I was able to eat the third bottom of the pepper whereas when
I trieed that with one from a lone spot I died from the heat and won't try
another haba again.
