Maine?!?! No! No! No! Here in Taxachusetts we make fun of people from Maine.
Think "You may be from Maine if you think a big night out is a 6 pack on the
front porch swing." 1 of the Bawsten stations does a "Men from Maine"
schtick almost every morning. (OK all list members from the most northern
state in the contiguous 48, please send all flames to me personally as not
to clog the list. To be honest, I love the Machais River Valley area, have
very good friends in Nobleboro & warm memories of a weekend spent with them
at beaches in Pemaquid 2 summers ago. Also have plans to camp near York's
Wild Animal Kingdom this summer & leave what little money I have left after
taxes in your states coffers.)
Hi JohnT!!
It was -4°F last night so Ya gut me beat PepperBud! Have had mixed results
once again with my overwintering trials & have a 5 gal. pail with 2 pepper
plants in it, 1 flourishing nicely, the other dead as a doornail. Go figure.
Snip: Add those to the 32 unnamed C. pubescens from a fellow C-H from
Maine (Paul)
Want more? I still have some of the 40 "named" ones, TeeHee....
Snip: Today I received seeds from a German pod-head (A. R. Madillo)
consisting of 7 kinds of C. baccatum and C. pubescens for me to grow next
year.
Don't forget to share the C. baccatum with Beth, her "beloved" Capsicum.
Oh by the way, you wrote "next year" twice in this post, you do mean this
year, right?
Yours in heat,
Paul

It was -9°F last night here in my frigid, desert area of Missouri. Really
thankful for my overwintering Rocotos. As a size reference my pen knife is
10 1/2" opened.
