Hello everyone!

  For the majority of the time, I'm your basic lurker.  However, I do
have a question, and an observation/thanks!

1)  I live in San Jose, Ca, and I have some 5 inch tall, Thai Hot Chile
plants that I've just planted outside within the last few weeks.  Well,
they're short plants, but they're already putting out little green fruit
all over the place.

  Should I pluck them off in order to encourage the plant to grow more
before putting out more fruit?  If yes, do I take all the fruit off at
once and then not pluck again?  Or would it be more proper to keep
plucking until the plant reaches a certain height?

<what a newby, ay?>

2) Many thanks to Roger Shezall from the U.K. who sent me some Goan, and
Kashmiri mild chili seeds.  I've managed to get a dozen REALLY nice foot
tall Kashmiri mild child plants to come up.  They're waving their lovely
leaves at me as I speak.  I've had some trouble getting the Goan seeds
to come up, but I'm still trying.  Roger will be receiving a tidy
package in the mail come harvest time!!

p.s. Could any answers please cc: me at my e-mail address?  tia!
