Research

I found myself in the stacks researching all things I could find on peppers.  I ended up finding a book, that was all thing peppers. Peppers, by Jean Andrews.  In this book I learned about how the pepper, ( capsicum annum)   was originally grown in Central and South America.  It was the famed explorer Christopher Columbus that brought the pepper to Europe, and gave it the name, pepper.  Peppers are not a fan of being transplanted, this will affect my design for my final and temporary pots.  They like warmer climates, with plenty of water for its roots.  The Chinese Sweet Pepper that I am going to grow, is a pepper that will grow to about 24 to 36 inches high.  The pepper itself will grow to be about 4 x 6 inches.
