Definitely a thin skinned newbie ... Imagine if he'd really gotten flamed! Oh, well ... ObCH - Although I should have started seeds more than a month ago, I haven't yet. This past year, bermuda grass finally overcame my chile beds. I've tried digging, but the darn stolons are so deep, I can't get them all (and digging up a producing pepper plant to get rid of the grass seemed so counterproductive - well, I'd have a clearer garden if I had ...) and it comes right back with a vengeance :-(> I'll have to use a monocot specific herbicide to get rid of it (and keep my present chile plants) - and to do that I have to wait until the stuff is actively growing in a couple of months.
