Well, I've finally found the limit of what a rocoto can take whether wise.

I had one small plant out in the open, exposed with nothing to give some
protection from frost (ie a wall, greenhouse, trees etc.).

Couple of nights ago got a pretty heavy frost (settled by 8pm) getting dow
to about -3 celcius overnight.  The poor old rocoto could handle that and
has passed on to greener fields.  The others that have some protection are
all powering on fine.  Oh well - we live and learn.

But on the positive side, planted seeds for this seasons crop over the
weekend.  On the heatbed are planted several types of habs, scotch bonnets,
rocolittos (?), thai hots,  bananas (sweet and hot varieties) (thanks Tara),
mulatos, jalepenos,ajis with ring of fires and rocotos still to go.  I've
just got to work out where I'm going to put them all if/when they
germinate!!

Cheers for the cool climes
