Does any sell specialty chile peppers here? I'm interesting in hearing what type of customers you get for the various peppers. Anyone?

Sorry about the delayed response. It was 2 1/2 years ago, but I believe I started them in February as well. I knew that I was leaving Minnesota when I planted them, so I kept everything in pots. They fared well when I moved to Vermont in April. I put them outside in a 5 gallon pot in late May...

Are you taking them out of pots and planting them in ground? How long do they take to recover when you transplant them after growing for 5-6 months? Do you lose any?

Potawie- do you grow them outside in the ground during the summer? What sort of yields did you get? Did you grow them in a semi-shaded area? How long did you grow the seedlings indoors before transplanting them outside? Thanks! Origami- how long did you grow indoors before...

I'm wondering what pepper varieties people have trouble finding in their regions- particularly interested in the Northeast- I'm a market grower in Ontario. Any varieties you would really like to see available? Any suggestions on specialty varieties the uninitiated might go gaga over after...

I'm trying to figure out how to best grow pubescens varieties on a larger scale. Does anyone have any experience growing varieties like mazano/rocoto outdoors in Zone 5-6? Is it possible to get decent yields growing outdoors if seedlings are started early enough? Would be interested in...
