GOOD FOR YOU SHIVERS!
I have to agree, I think peppers are pretty rugged. I
guess this info is helpful for those who want to
maximize their yield for various projects but I hate
when new gardeners are intimidated by thinking they
have to spend an arm and a leg or get a PHD in
agriculture or not do it at all.
Gardening is a big business and getting bigger everyday
but let's HAVE FUN doing it!
