First, Welcome! Second, you need to provide a little more info... where you live (climate zone), how much sun do you get on the patio, what heat and/or flavor are you looking for, etc. >>>I do have one question though, perhaps you can help with. I live in an apartment and want to grow my own peppers. Which would work best on a 2nd floor patio garden?<<< ======================================================= Uncle Steve's Hot Stuff Check our new web site! http://www.zyworld.com/snearman/Uncle-Steve-Home.htm =======================================================
