I'm in 9B/10A zone. I'd like to extend my growing season so that I have some kind of peppers ready to harvest every day. As much as possible I want to use natural sunlight and elements with a little augmentation. Has anybody done this? Would adding a few hours of light and warmth enough? Are...

Where did The forum that had comments and reviews of seed vendors go? I think it used to be called vendor vault, but my search only turns up a bunch of broken links.
