Re: Hot Peppers

Eric,  were you able to overwinter your pepper plants in an unheated
greenhouse?  Good job, I haven't been able to accomplish it here on
southern Vancouver Island.  Like you I grow many varieties, I think it was
27 last year.  Those on the list who really like peppers, especially the
hot varieties, should consider joining the Chile Institute at the U of New
Mexico.  One of the benefits of membership is a packet of seeds from a new
variety each year.  Last year's (Chaco) was the size of a pea when mature
and was like condensed fire.  It was like you took a habanero and pressed
it down to pea size without removing any heat.

Like you my tomatoes are planted in the greenhouse and with a bit of
sunshine should have flowers in a couple of weeks.  Let's see, this year I
have Fantastic, Early Girl, Big Beef, and an old non-hybrid Ailsa Craig.
Growing food is a wonderful way to spend the summer, eh.
