    I grow piemento in California but I have to start it on a warm mat. Once it’s planted outside and matures over summer it is tolerant to the cool winters here going as cool as 46 degrees at night. They are resilient if near a wall to protect from the wind. Like you stated I grown in 10 gallon fabric pots and move them to better locations in summer. I just came across your channel. Clear instructions and informative.

    You are an excellent teacher. I am soooo glad I found your channel. Question, the wood compost you talk about, it should be raw shavings right? i.e. without any stain or varnish on it? Where does one get that not in any garden shop I assume.

    Hello from Maryland! I’m getting my garden in order and I can’t find any pimento (capsicum chinense) anywhere. I’m thinking of buying some from out local Caribbean grocery to sprout. You seem knowledgeable like a horticulturalist, do you know whether the peppers they ship here to us are grown away from habenero or scorpions? And if they get refrigerated in route, will that affect their growth?
