Oh sure Jim, rub it in. Was 44°F Mon. morning. The weatherperson keeps
predicting warmer weather, but it never shows. This morning they're
predicting summer temps on Monday, next week. Has been mostly 60's for most
of the last month & a half. The good news is the Rocoto's love it! Check out
this photo of a bud on a C. pubescens JohnT sent me this spring:

The plant actually has over a dozen buds on it & I'm hoping it sets a few
fruit.
Did you enjoy the Lip Buzzin' Hab Sauce I sent? I can assure you a lot of my
seed trading buddies send you a big Thank-You! for the pods you sent became
seed stock as well as some heat added to some cooking last fall.
The only overwintering success I've had is a 3 year old Chiletepin that I
put in the cellar in Nov., drops all leaves but its stem & branches remain
green & it "springs" back to life each April when I bring it back outside.
Here's a shot of it this year:

Good luck with your garden this year,
