I've had good luck with Jalepenos, serranos, poblanos, anaheims and cherry
hots. I'm sure there are quite a few other varieties that I have not tried.
I've never grown in containers so I'm not sure what the soil composition should
be. You might want to contact Karen Stober, she lives near your area and I
know she's done peppers in containers. You might also post a note directly to
the list...
