Welcome! A little East from ya, but have family in the Cities. Lemon Drop and Rocoto are about as hot as it gets for me. I'm currently trying to overwinter a couple of Yellow Rocotos. Last year I tried, but I root pruned them and re-potted them and they died, so this time I'm keeping them near a window in the pots that I had them growing in outside, and I'll just keep the foliage trimmed and see how it goes. I've found that if I start Lemon Drop early(at least Feb)it will have enough time to produce well, so I don't bother overwintering it. But, I'm only growing for two people so I usually have a lot of pods in the freezer for our winter use.
So, do you grow in ground or in containers? What are your successes/failures? We love to share/swap info with other growers.

I would say the ghosts did the best this year. I was loosing a plant a week(either to wind or hail) so this year was not the best. Half of mine are planted in the ground, and the other half are in 5 gal. buckets off the ground. The buckets did quite well, and obviously takes care of the weeding for you.
