I decided to plant my peppers in 5-gal nursery pots this year instead of directly in the ground. The soil in the ground is mostly clay I think is really restricting root growth. So, I got a bunch of 5-gal nursery pots and a couple of bales of ProMix and went to town. I ended up planting a couple in the ground and they haven't grown nearly as much as their potted counterparts. Everything has been going pretty well so far and the peppers are starting to roll in.

Last year, I had about 80 pepper plants in the ground which yielded enough to help me through the winter :-) What I couldn't eat fresh I froze, canned, or threw into a home-made hot sauce. Below are the different varieties I grew last year (the heat levels are in scoville units):
