As quite a few people seem to have seed varieties from Pepper Joe's, the
following info may be of use to some.
Cheers,
Tony.

Hello Tony,
Fortunately most of your varieties can be grown in pots. The ones that
cannot are the varieties that grow 4 to 6 feet tall. That would be the
Bolivian Rainbow, Fatalli, Golden Hab and the Sweet Crimson (heavy sweet
peppers). The rest should be fine in about 3 gallon to 5 gallon
Containers. Good luck in the UK.
Great Gardening,
Pepper Joe
