Thanks for that. My two Rawit plants fruit are turning red and I will test
them soon. For some reason it seems my last post did not get through. (must
go back to Tom Mix and the Pony Express:-) So I add on the main part

Hi Rob and all,
Exactly where I have finished up after trying to grow too many plants and
varieties each year.
Pot size is also more a matter of nurture than size of pot. I grow excellent
Habeneros and others in 4 gallon pots in my small leanto greenhouse.
Including Rob's Rawit and Madame Jeanette which are nearly ready to pick and
try.
Thanks again for the seeds Rob.
Having a great run of Autumnal weather here. Cooler nights and hot sunny
clear days. Glad to say the MIR space station missed us and the Tuna boats
way out in the ocean.
Oh ! By the way Susan Byers, What is the "Lenape Germination Prayer"
Mustn't miss a trick that may help :-)
