We had such a crappy May month, not only rain, cold and fog but even snow days. The Mexican peppers (hots) haven't liked that and are later than last year. Alma and Bulgarian Carrot don't seem to mind the low light levels and set right on time - Alma is already ripening. And the sweet peppers have all performed really well in their sandpails. Lipstick and Pimento look like they will just or nearly fill the pail with peppers, and a definite pail full from Frank's, Sweet Banana and Petit Marseillais, which should start to ripen soon...

So we will have some peppers, whether there's a summer or not!

Wow! When do you sow the pepper seed? Do you use grow lights at all? Are they sitting in a south window? I'm amazed that you have ripening peppers indoors in early June!
