It might interest you to know that the bulk of the pepper season is
just about over here. Between now and October most of Thailand will get
about 80" of rain and even with raised beds that's just too much
moisture. Most folks plant peppers in October-November when the average
days are just under 12 hours of sunlight but ambient temps are still
higher than you get is Louisville in July. Also, Prik Ki Nu goes for
about $US0.30/# here. Hardly worth the trouble to grow them when eating
Thai food in a restaurant here costs less than a Happy Meal.
