Hello, this is my first post to this list..

  I grew a habenero plant last year outside in a container.  I took it in
for the winter and set it by the sun.  This year I set it outside and the
plant flowered and started producing fruit right away.  I am not sure how
many years I can do this for, but the habeneros are still quite hot. 8D
