I gave up on corn years ago. Too much work.

Took this yankee years to realize peppers are perennials! Couldn't let old man winter kill this ornamental Black Pearl (grown from seed by yours truly). Kept a few Pablano plants for the hubby.

That is one gorgeous plant! I love plants with unusual leaves. What are the peppers themselves like?

Grow them in containers, and bring them in when the weather turns cold...habaneros and scotch bonnets in January...yum!

I sell a ton of those at my garden center each season. Hot little buggers, but really pretty when mixed in with blue and white annuals in a porch pot. :)

I think a habanero plant is one of the prettiest peppers around. We never use THAT many of them, but even one plant is so prolific that we take a bagful to our local Mexican restaurant each summer.
