herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre i yam

not unless you have a sunroom ILP...the plants will just get all leggy and spindly...won't be healthy by next spring.

you could start your own plants from seed...indoors...i'm guessing around march where you are. that way...they should be just about the right size come planting time.

RedHat_ILPBolt,

I don't think mammals will mess with hot peppers since the capsicum burns mucous tissue. I have heard of bird lovers who spray their birdseed so that the squirrels and other small rodents won't eat them.

In the Boston area, some Market Basket stores and the Super 88 Chinese supermarkets sell what they call &quot;Jamaican peppers&quot; . They have that mashed down top and they do have the fruity flavor and heat that I remember from the ones I ate in Jamaica.
I too grind them up in the food processor and put them in (apple) cider vinegar, keep them in the fridge where they seem to keep forever.

I brought a couple of packages of the whole ones to work where several of the guys expressed interest in trying them. One man I work with takes a bite or two out of one every few hours, says it &quot;refreshes his mouth&quot; but he does hiss and suck in cool air when he does this.
He also complains later that when he eases himself that the &quot;second burn&quot; causes him some discomfort. He said he would pay me to make him up a batch of peppers in vinegar maybe so that he can get ready for the winters up here which will freeze your backside off.

The Ethiopean guy I work with likes hot stuff but took one look at the Scotch Bonnets and said: &quot;I know them. Those peppers burn right away &quot; and chose not to try one.
When I have them, I take a couple of fresh S-B 's to work and eat them with my lunch sandwiches. Real nice and no one will steal them from the break room fridge either.

BTW- Customs will not let you bring in fresh produce because there could be insects or insect eggs in them which could be a possible danger to U.S. crops. Seeds being dry or in packages don't have any bugs in them.

Thanks to the other writers for suggesting growing them.
I'll do just that in the spring.
