As with most things, the issue has many sides.
Same here. One benefit to growing peppers in containers is I can put them close to cross or secluded to prevent it (or by covering). Over the next several years I am going to switch to all landrace crops. I'm already doing muskmelons, watermelons, squash, and lettuce this year (Thanks to Joseph Lofthouse) and once I feel like those are where I want them for my location I will likely focus on peppers and spinach. I just get so tired of having to buy seeds every year and many times being disappointed in the results. Gardening should be fun, not heartache.
