One of the best sites on Earth is on your side of the pond: http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~gcaselton/chile/chile.html It's Graeme Caselton's site (the Chile section). If you go to that link, there's a tab on the left side marked "Growing Chiles", plus a plethora of pertinent pepper pansophy. (Wow! I'll have to remember that one!) I'm also a novice - planning my first garden for this spring. Feel free to email me offline if you'd like ot have a chat.
