I finally joined this forum today. I have been using the net to gather information about peppers since February and have stumbled upon this forum several times. There appears to be a wealth of information here that I can put to good use. I have had several gardeners tell me that they have never grown peppers as nice as mine, so for being my first year growing I must be doing something correctly. I'm currently growing Black Pearl, jalapeno, orange habs, and yellow Hungarians....all started from seedlings acquired from local growers. I am hoping to find some local growers of hot pepper plants that I do not have....would love to find some superhot pods locally so that I could save on shipping costs, lol.
