Mini Garden
Most of the soil here is rock or mostly rock so I decided this year to put the peppers in pots. Should it snow or hail I can easily bring them in or set them under the roof overhang. Since they're 10' above the ground, the chances of a dog mistaking them for a fire hydrant is much lower and the bears won't be able to walk on them.
Clockwise from top left, Bell Pepper, Jalapeno, Sandia Pepper, Tam Jalapeno. Looked for a hab or even Serrano but a big no-go on those. Guess they're not all that popular here.

Re: Mini Garden
Geat idea. I bet those peppers will do just fine. You can always get plants on the web. I get seed from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds and they have a Caribbean Red Habanero, Lemon Yellow Habanero and a Chocolate Habanero listed in their catalogue. Their web site is http://rareseeds.com/cart/catalog/Hot-96-1.html" target="_blank Check them out.

He looks so cute, like you just want to run up to him and give him a big ol' baaar hug. Sheesh! That one looks like a 600 lb. thug in a parka! What's your ultimate anti-bear backup in case he won't take "GET THE heck OFF ME!" for an answer? I shudder to think. I have a four year old daughter who loves to be outside with daddy and is learning the zen of Q.

Re: Mini Garden
Pack some chicken Pooh around those Jalapeño plants if you want some good heat.
Never met a cow I didn't like with a little salt and pepper.
