Ottawa is my home town but I live in Yellowknife now and believe I am
the most northerly list member here. [Latitude 62 22 00 N]. Any Alaskans
here farther north?

My chile growing is restricted to pots that live on the deck June 1 to
Aug 31 and indoors on a window sill the rest of the time. I use grow
lites from Nov to Feb as there isn't enough natural light during winter
this far north. [Less than 4 hours of twilight on Dec. 21.]

I maintain four cayennes and four F1 hybrid superchilis that I over-
winter and are now three years old. I also have a friend who keeps me
supplied with habbies from her window sill garden. So it can be done.

                                                            Cheers,

                                                            YK Jim
