I saw your earlier post talking about growing chilies - you might have to
treat your chilies plants the way you treat your olive tree if you're
planning to grow them. Otherwise you'll have to seed a new batch every
year.

Do you have a glass house? They perform particularly well in a glass house
from what I heard.

I was thinking olive, but that might not work in zone 5.

Thanks. We actually do own an olive tree, but it grows in a huge
pot. We take it out for the summer and will take it inside for the
winter.
