I tried to post a few days ago, but I think I may have gotten lost 
somewhere!

It went something like this:

I am in awe when I read of the magnificent plants out there.... 2 6ft 
habanero plants in the backyard, chili-tepins as big as trees... I can only 
imagine (mouth watering) the yeilds from plants as tall as me!
... I am trying this over-wintering thing with my biggest golden habanero - 
which is not quite 1.5'... I think I will try potting up from a 5 gal to 
perhaps a 20 gal pot this summer.
Any "Northerners" (I am in Alberta, Canada) with experience here?  I will 
overwinter a few plant each year if it it worth it! Anyone who can suggest 
certain varieties that are pre-disposed to growing large?  (Is my 
fascination with size indicitive of something more ominous than mere chile 
plants?)  I dunno... but I'd love to hear any ideas here...

I think I also mused as to whether anyone's chile-page was collecting these 
chili-vernaculars - for easy reference!?
(*still wondering how to introduce this "chilerotica" idea to the 
girl...*)(*remembering the last ...."accidental application"...*)
