-> You have given me some great info about planting and picking seasons, but
-> now I have a seeding question.  I have a beautiful 'Super-Chile' Plant that
-> has spouted off fruit left and right this season.  I have a couple of
-> friends that would like to grow similar plants, which I am more than willing
-> to provide for.  My question is about seeds - do I have dry out a pepper,
-> remove the seeds, dry the seeds and then plant?  Can I just replant still
-> hydrated seeds?  Does it make a difference?

I've always dried pepper seeds before planting...but you should know
that Super Chile is an F1 hybrid, which means it won't breed true from
seed.  You might try getting some peat pots and potting soil, taking
clippings and rooting them with Rootone (check the garden store) for
your friends instead.

I'm going to try planting some Super Chile seeds anyway and see what I
get; figure it's worth a few extra pots. If they're duds, I can always
use them to ingratiate myself to the landlady's chile-swilling 
parrots. :)

I like SC's combination of nice heat (7-plus-ish as grown
here) with fruity red-bell-pepper flavor, and am greatly pleased with
its productivity, so I'm also going to try hybridizing it with my
_siling labuyos_.  But I don't know SC's parentage, so I have no clue
what I'll get. (Which is part of the fun, of course. :))
