  C - H's,

  What are some of your experiences with overwintering (is that really
one word???) Cayenne?  I have a Choc. Scotch Bonnet, Fatalii, mystery
chile (on it's second indoor Winter) and Fluor. Purple that are all
doing well so far; but a Cayenne I hoped to save seems quite dead (and
the wife wants it gone!!!).  They were all brought in at the same time
(Right before our first WI frost, which was promptly followed by two
weeks of 50's and 60's... go figure.), and all have been treated the
same since.  This is the first time I've bothered to try saving a
Cayenne, since they are so prevalent at the nurseries each Spring, and I
have so much Cayenne seed anyway.  Are they just not as hardy as I
believed, or is (rather, was) this one just a big wimp???

Thanks,
