Hello Marco, I’ve grown a few peppers in pots at work in Landenberg pa which is very near Longwood gardens. They love standard potting soil amended with whichever goodies you like to add, in black pots in full sun. If you don’t give them tons of fertilizer and start and keep them in smaller pots...

Sad to no longer have them in your yard :(

Some of the zones are very wet, and...

When we used citric acid to gently lower the pH in stock solution at the first annual/perennial nursery I worked at, that fertilizer line got lined with icky crud that would break free and clog the mist heads :b

If you use coconut husk, likely enough in that. Usually problem is too much

Absolutely! :D … this tiny tree was free (and still has roots)

Yes, for future christmases, a crown roast could be good (my cousins wife has made prime rib roast a few times), though I think for tgiving I’m locked into turkey :D or at least one of my own if another dinner has an alternate. I wait all year (sometimes get a Turkey if on sale at other times)...
