I have 4 plants that would like to dispute that ;-)  I think the problem is that
they need such a long growing season that a lot of people give up on them
late in the season just as the flowers are really kicking in.  I dug mine up in
late September and was lucky enough to have a friend with a plant stand
complete with grow light.  The last peppers came off the plants over Christmas.
Not sure what sort of crop you can produce by OF but it is worth a try.  With
any luck your growing season gets going a bit earlier than mine.  Plus, you
do have just a wee bit more experience in the growing process than I do ;-)

Cheers,
Kris
