Tom,
I had the same experience this year with Serrano pepper. My Son loves hot peppers and asked me to grow him something hot this year. I bought a pack of Serrano seeds while at a "Dollar General" at the beach in Alabama for 25 cents early this spring.
Grew a few seed out and planted one in a 5 gallon homemade self-watering bucket.
The amount of ripe red peppers coming off this one plant was unbelievable. It supplied all he could eat as well as for a couple of my neighbors.
It is still producing today as we are having temps near 80 still going into November.
I enjoy reading all your post about your garden in the mountains. It sounds beautiful there.
We are only at 175 feet ASL here and it is very hot and humid in the summer for sure.
