All my plants doing well, Red Savinas, Francesca Habs, couple of
varieties of chiltepin and rocotos (well, I don't have much room, and
got to also have tomatoes and onions for the salsa). Everything setting
fruit except the rocotos and I really don't know what to expect since
this is my first year to grow them. They are about 18 inches tall,
blooming and setting little nubs that then either wither or fall off.
Is this what they do the first year? Everyone is always talking about
how they don't have much luck with them the first year. I thought I
would cut them way back this fall, mulch really well, cover them with a
bucket or something, and see if I can bring them back next year. Winter
down to near 0 every year. Think I'll have any luck with that? Will I
get peppers next year? I'm desparate for some of these babies fresh the
way all of you guys are always talking about them.
