Bell Peppers, Hot Peppers, Chili Peppers

If tomatoes are the Cadillac of a vegetable garden, peppers are the Porsche. Bright, shiny green to bright and shiny red fruit, and a few other colors - although it seems that many of our fruit don't make it to the ripe, ripe stage. Bell peppers get eaten on a regular basis, and thus their edibility at their unripe/green stage is a definite buster for their reproductive urges.

However, you're probably reading this because you want to know what's the skinny on growing peppers in the tropics. I give bell peppers, hot peppers and chili peppers a two thumbs up for durability in the tropical environment. In fact... they thrive. Since they thrive, why don't more people grow their own? I haven't a clue. In a large container, I've seen one of our chili peppers thrive. Surprisingly, it is thriving in a shaded location, which is interesting, since left up to my own devices, I'd have it out in the sun, sun.

Summary: Peppers + Tropcis = Good
