I ONLY grow my peppers in pots. I just like the control, as you say- easy to move.
Today I am planting Jamaican Hot Chocolates in a seed tray then I will transfer to pots. I am having a very hard time getting pots! DG'ers offered me some but are so far away from me.
I am about ready to use a few raised beds that are close to the house. I find my pepper plants are high maintenance. The white fly drives me crazy and I had ONE snail take out an entire Long red chili plant before I found it. Actually I didn't find it until it died from snail bait.
Pepper Joe- do you have a secret weapon for white flies?
BTW, the pic is not my pepper- it's on Ebay.
I didn't know it but researched online that the Cuban cachucha pepper is an aji dulce. That's my tastiest pepper and the island people here can't get enough of them. I keep the cachuchas in clay pots- they seem to do the best there.
Have a peppery day!~~~Carol
