Pepper Blogging, what's at stake

I told my British blog buddy and pepper growing noviate Keith that I don't like to stake my pepper plants unless they can't stand up on their own. This morning on the parking lot I saw that the Bulgarian Carrot pepper plant was so weighted by crop it was hanging over the side of its pot. Poor thing. A wooden skewer from the kitchen and a loose loop of picture hanging wire helped me set it upright. I used a couple of them, still green, in chile last weekend. While they are not yet as hot as the Jalepeno, when they ripen to orange they should be. Behind this plant are pictured Cowhorns, which turn cadmium red and are almost as robust.
