>If it's cool and humid, then you need greater spacing to get >sunlight on your plants and on the ground. AND crop rotation is the best way to prevent these problems Don't forget HOT & HUMID we get all kinds of nasty things I never worried about in Calif. but then I wasnt' growing veggies either. Since I am not a bonified Chile-head at this point--- But I have seen some incredible recipies... I do have a question. I am growing a container garden this year-- my first veggie type I would like to TRY a few plants other than the bell/sweet type. I bought this Burpee packet here it has a mix of *Long Red Cayenne, Large Cherry, Hungarian Wax, Anaheim TMR 23 & Jalapeno.* so lets see the Q is- are theses good to start with? I enjoy spicey/well seasoned food. killer hot (hot for the sake of hot) is silly imho. is there another I should seek out? sources other than the standard veggie catalogs? --leslie Master Gardener Intern, Zone 7(b?) low in town of 9F in Humid, HUMID Cullman, Alabama If Barbie is so popular why do you have to buy her friends??
