Hi fellow-chile heads,

First, let me say my husband and I have enjoyed the chile-head messages since 
we signed up in late July.  Some of the messages are very entertaining and 
provide a good laugh after a long day at the office and others are very 
informative.  The knowledge and networking among this group is impressive.   
It is your expertise we humbly seek in the propagation and care of  our 
beloved Capsicum.

We are new to growing hot peppers in our backyard in Cincinnati, OH (we moved 
here 3 years ago).  This year we are growing super cayenne II, super chili, 
early jalapeno, red habanero, carribean red habanero and haitian purple.  The 
super chilis and haitian purples are doing well.  But, we only got about 5 
super cayennes and 8-10 early jalapenos.  Since we are disappointed in the 
productivity of these two types, do the chile-heads (particularly those 
living in the midwest) have any suggestions on what other types do well in 
the crazy spring/summer weather of the midwest.

As for the habaneros, they have a lot of blooms, but only two peppers.  I 
realize the habaneros have a long maturation and I suspect they are going to 
come in all at the same time.  Is my suspicion correct?  Or should we even 
bother growing habs next year?  My husband says don't bother with 'em and I 
say they are a classic - what is a hot chili pepper garden without habaneros.
