We lived in Epping for 14 years. I started growing Habanero peppers, which at the time were the hottest in the world, just to see if I could. That got me hooked on Chillies and I’ve been growing them ever since. I have seeds started now for my new 2021 plants plus the ones that overwinter. Unlike New Hampshire it never gets cold enough here to damage the plants so they just slow down in Winter and pick up again in the Spring.
My folks retired to Las Cruces, NM in the 70s. Really got hooked on Chilies. They have both passed on, and in 2019, my sister sold their home and relocated to Puxsytawney, PA. We grow chilies, here.
By the way, if our ducks are any indicators, it may be an early spring. Last week, we got our first egg. Yesterday, it was three. This morning, six. We have 28 ducks, including the horny and aggressive drakes and I think that egg production will be up, this year. We need to find a market for them.
