Kuhlwlf,
Thank you for your reply! I know this is mostly a chit-chat & recipe list, but still get some valuable pepper growing info here.
I can't wait until next summer to set the 2nd year plants out. Still getting a few peppers every now & then from Mirasol, Santaka, Rocoto, Biker Billy & Malagueta Pimenta. The Santaka is the only one blooming and setting fruit since about the winter solstice.
Plants are in south windows in the basement and several in my livingroom window.
