Hello from extreme northern California. I'm glad to find this site and other related sites. I'm always glad to find places where I can glean info on pepper growing. This looks like another good one but I haven't checked out alot yet. I have grown peppers for years with some successes and some dismal failures. This year I started my own seed but this has been the most dismal year yet. But I'm am looking forward to getting better prepared and learning alot from many of you. I am deffinately a learner for now and not a teacher. I grow someother veges as well but peppers are my favs. I like to dehydrate them and turn them into pepper flakes, my favorite form of preservation and looking forward to some pepper jams and jellys in the future. Oh, I like to talk too lol but I'll try to cut it shorter more often than not when I can. Have a nice day.
