Re: Hot Peppers

I've grown probably 35 kinds of chilis outside in Portland, Oregon.
Surefire from Territorial is probably the most productive. Haberneros are
probably one of the tougher species to grow in our climate, but still possible. 

If you're having trouble growing peppers, try Hero peppers, also from
Territorial. They'll put up with really bad conditions.

Yes, I harvested Hero peppers from my greenhouse earth bed until February,
and now a new crop is coming on. Maybe I've established a perrenial pepper
project. The plants are about 3 feet tall and three feet wide.
