> Well we are over a month late for our first frost

   I'm starting to wonder how long this season will
last, too.  I had a little frost on the windshield
of my truck yestrday morning, but none on the peppers.
Neither frost nor freeze in the long term forecast,
highs in the 80's expected.The cooler night temps
(in the 40's) are having a varied effect.
   The paprikas have just about quit, the anchos are
hanging in there, but the aji amarillos are eating it
up, hundreds of blooms, set fruit starting to ripen. 
The datil plant is blooming and setting fruit like I've
never seen.  (OK, so this is only the third datil I've
managed to grow, but the other two combined produced a
measly four pods.) 

Scott... not complaining, mind you... KCK
