     I've dodged the frost so far, but the cold has taken it's
toll on all the C. annuum's, save for the Arledge Hots.  I 
pulled up the Hawaiian sweet/hots and hung them to dry,
got about 30 extra pods from 3 plants.  Had to pull up the
Keriting-types, they seem to have handled the heat better
than cold.  I expexct to get 15 - 20 thicks and 20 - 30 thins.
     I did get one surprise after uprooting the Keriting-types.
I have one lonely datil plant struggling to ripen 3 pods, when
the uprooting of the adjacent plants uncovered 4 more datil
pods!  Nothing like a 133% increase in your crop to help
brighten the ever-shortening fall days.
