Moira,
That could certainly explain why my sweet peppers always look great even in
years they aren't producing many peppers. Sitting as I do in the middle of
an old pasture field, I've got pigweed to spare. I may have to encourage
some next to the columbine -- not that pigweed needs much encouragement.
