Re: Propogation of Chiles

Wjat kind of chiles are these?  I ask because I'm just about 2 1/2 
hours N of Houston, and have been growing Habaneros from a single 
strain since 1970's.  Their root system isn't too extensive, so 
wouldn't require as large of a pot as a similar sized tomato plant. 
I'd put one to a pot, or two max in at least an 8 - 10" pot. 
I can't recommend fertilizer requirements... I just slather my goat 
manure around the beds, and they usually do fine.  In Belize, where I 
acquired my start, chile peppers are perennial and you may get away 
with overwintering some of yours indoors. 
Did you know there is a fairly new Seed Savers in Texas?  
Seeds of Texas Exchange 
PO Box 9882
College Station Tx 77842
(It was originally started by the seedsman from Peaceable Kingdom, 
but I think it's moved to other hands now.)  I USED to have an e-mail 
address on the listowner, but would take some digging.
