That you chose varieties from thousands that don't have this habit has nothing to do with it ;-) There is within the species a variety that does. Use the USDA capsicum database and do a search with erect growth as a search key and see how many they catalogue. Do not confuse species with varieties ;-) Peter -- Peter Moss After one hundred and fifty years and many thousands of firearms control laws to reduce crime the list of successes should be long and illustrious. Where is the list?
