Title: rootsfarm_signature
We grow a huge assortment of sweet, hot and seasoning peppers without
irrigation in a tropical climate that is often too much rain, sometimes
good amounts of rain, and for 2 months or so bone dry under blazing
sun. Sweet peppers fare less well than the hot and seasoning (aji
dulces type) peppers through the dry season, but we are always amazed
at how most varieties of hot peppers and the seasoning peppers live
through the dry and start flowering as soon as the first rains start
again. Ancho and Anaheim types are not as reliable for us as
jalapenos, serranos, cayennes, tabascos and other fiendishly hot ones.
The plants have to be well established with good root systems, but not
too old, to reliably make it through the dry. We have never tried
starting seed in the beds or rows themselves, but do take advantage of
volunteers who start themselves -- usually cayenne types and usually
found in the shade of other plants. Good luck and all best wishes, Karen Karen
Sutherland

I currently grow yellow squash, water melons, cantaloupe, black eyed peas, blue lake beans, Kentucky wonder beans, pinto beans, pumpkins, and a little corn (corn usually doesn't do well).
