-=> Quoting Jim McQuaid to All <=- JM> Hi, I'm finally thawing out here in Ottawa, Ontario. JM> Any others in Ontario lurking in here. I'd love to talk growing JM> chilies in the northern climes.. Ottawa is my home town but I live in Yellowknife now and believe I am the most northerly list member here. [Latitude 62 22 00 N]. Any Alaskans here farther north? My chile growing is restricted to pots that live on the deck June 1 to Aug 31 and indoors on a window sill the rest of the time. I use grow lites from Nov to Feb as there isn't enough natural light during winter this far north. [Less than 4 hours of twilight on Dec. 21.] I maintain four cayennes and four F1 hybrid superchilis that I over- winter and are now three years old. I also have a friend who keeps me supplied with habbies from her window sill garden. So it can be done. Cheers, YK Jim
