Hi All

I notice a few posts from people getting discouraged by less than good
spring weather. Last spring we had an El Nino effect which gave me a cold
windy wet spring. My Chile plants looked very sad for along time. Once the
summer got going they grew well and finished up as good as ever. The  3 year
old Rocotos on the back fence got knocked about so bad with the wind I
almost ripped them up. Yet now they are as healthy as ever and covered with
young second fruit set. So do not despair good people. Our chosen plants
have survived a long time and the only thing  is that mine have a problem
setting fruit at nights cooler than 10° C (50°F) then blossom drop occurs.
