Hi C-H's,

Jim asked:

I vote for option 2. Even 15 types is plenty of variety for food 
peppers (as opposed to ornamentals) and less hassle for Jim to plant 
out.

For example:
Habs and savinas for C. chinense.
Jalapenos, serranos, cayennes, Thais and some N.M. long variety for C. annuum.
A couple of "ajis" for C. baccatum.
Tabasco?

That's only 10.

You can argue amongst yourselves for the other 5-10 :-)
