Hi everyone! I'm new to the group, and well, new to Google groups.
I'm having a lot of fun, finding that these groups are very imformative
and easy to use.

It's USENET that you are broadcasting this too, and Google is
a quite horrid interface to it.

I am starting a Bell Pepper patch for this year's garden. I've started
the seeds indoors (Karma - Red, Golden Summer - Yellow, Valencia
(Orange) and Peppper Parks Whopper), but I don't have much expereince
in caring for the plants once they get planted outside. Can anyone
point me to a good website with some good 'growing' and 'care for'
instructions? I'm mostly looking for watering, fertilizing, and
staking tips and just over all 'caring for the plant' tips.

I grow in pots on the deck and tend more towards hot peppers.
Not much fertilizer, and I'm downright stingy on the
watering on hot peppers.
Never grown anything that required staking, but pop tends to
use short fence wire tomato cages occasionally.


Also, is anyone famillar with the Karma Red Bell Pepper? I live in the
mid-west... What kind of a yield can I expect to see from one plant and
is this the best kind of Red bell to grow or is there a better kind?
I've listed the four varieties that I'm growing (Red, Yellow, Orange
and Green). It's not too late for me to start different kinds -- are
the the best varieties of bells to grow?

Be ye warned this newsgroup is targetted for folks around
Research Triangle Park, NC.
