Are you growing in containers or outside?

One of the rocotos I planted last year has 2 chiles on it now.  One's just
about ripe.  Not much of a harvest.  Guess they just couldn't take the heat
of the summer in SoCal.

Speaking of S. California, what's a good time to plant outside here?  Any
suggestions?  All my plants from last year are in containers.  And I want to
germinate some more.  When should they go in the ground?  Last year we put
them out in May, which seems a bit late for this area.  March?  April?

Every time I try and slurp them they spray all over my glasses!  Hmmm, maybe
a mask.  "Who is that Slurping Stranger?" or "Mommy!  Is that the Strange
Slurper?"

Cheers, and thanks,
