rocotos don't withstand moderate frost they should be overwintered indoors

So you really have no idea how hot they were? My only experience of rocoto was damned hot. i tried rocoto relleno with one of these peppers and it was really very hot especially on lips and tongue. In fact, impossible for me to eat all the pepper and i needed two cups of milk to extinct the fire... concerning cultivation, my first idea was to keep it in pot but during april the pepper started to grow very quickly and began to blossom at the end of the month so i decided to plant it outdoor.

Coming again with my rocotos . This is the second harvest from my outdoor rocoto plant. I grew a total of 16 mature fruits during the first year. The plant was growing in field without protection. Eric, thanks for sharing your experience with this pepper. Effectively, a milder version will be better for european palate.

Thanks for your kind comments
T, Squash behaves as an inbreeder thus it may stabilise in 2-3 generations (F5 or F6). I hope...

Bamboo

Looking into growing bamboo for use in the garden and maybe for use as fencing. Preferably a larger, non-invasive type that won't crowd out the native trees and forever change the ecosystem, any suggestions? Will most species work for those edible bamboo shoots that you find in Chinese food? I already tasted several sp of Phyllostachys and they are very good. In my knowledge all Phyllostachys sp are edible and invasive If you look for a non-invasive sp , Fargesia sp are fine (I have a R rufa in my garden) but need cool and humid weather

Concerning warming of the climate I really like the first graph of this web page of your "Institut Royal de Météorologie" Showing average temperature of each months since 1830, lowest ones before 1956 and highest ones after 1990 (except december 1934)
