Rob I think I am going to go the greenhouse route for chiles. Average temp was 15F below normal. This year, Cool last year, so wet the year before, I had floating planks between the rows. Winter project, find a cooling system/rules for a greenhouse. My starter greenhouse gets over 140F inside there. L.B. Byron, When the climate is chansing a little bit more we will have change over to rice in the coming years... and have to invest in a green house for the peppers... Regards Rob
