Last year, I grew 'Chilly' chili peppers from seed and they were gorgeous. We're planning more varieties this summer.

My pepper plants-hot, sweet and seasoning are now coming up.

I have read several places to put the contents of a book of matches in the bottom of the hole, add a little dirt, than plant the pepper on top of that. Have you ever heard or tried that? I'm gong to try it this year, I just have to find a hundred and something books of matches!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362388110616132059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-62556912540939473652008-02-11T08:08:00.000-05:002008-02-11T08:08:00.000-05:00Carol,sorry about those darn rabbits.

I think they're worse than our woodchuck and deer, but we hit on a little secret a few years ago - grow them a patch of sweet clover and they'll choose that over any garden plant!<BR/>Peppers are my new 'thing' this year, but I'm hoping I can keep my hots far enough away from my bells to avoid cross-pollination.

So sorry. I had to LOL that you don't really care for peppers! Sometimes it's just fun to grow something, even if you don't eat much of it, because it's so darn fun to grow or so pretty to look at. There's a lot of pleasure in that for me, too.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-38421196585836644872008-02-10T21:01:00.000-05:002008-02-10T21:01:00.000-05:00"Queue up the horror music" made me laugh.

Ours sometimes look great until you get close... birds peck holes and the inside goes bad. <BR/><BR/>I once heard that "Big Bertha" was the name given to some form of artillery [maybe a machine gun?]in World War One. Until that time, Bertha was a common name for girls, but its popularity fell and the name never recovered its earlier status Annie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-49204262597517155702008-02-10T17:43:00.000-05:002008-02-10T17:43:00.000-05:00I love peppers both raw and in my salsa.
