Chiles for Health, Transplant tips

Health & Nutrition
==================
I told you about how I cured my ulcer many years ago with hot peppers. Well the jury is back in now and the medical community has traced stomach ulcers to Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium. Now it all makes sense.

Have a good story on how Chiles supported your health? We'd love to hear it.

Here goes a neat testimonial sent in by Annie:

"I get cluster headaches. If you don't know what they are, imagine the worst headache you ever had and multiply the pain by 100. (You can go to clusterheadaches.com for a good description of what they are)

"I get incredible relief by rubbing a cotton swab on a hot pepper and sticking it way up my nose. Don't know how it works - endorphin trigger? Distraction therapy? All I know is that it lessens the pain. The cluster headache is extremely localized, it involves the eye which will tear profusely and the sinuses will throb, along with the jaw joint on that side and the pepper does something to shorten the duration of the headache and ease the pain.

"I really enjoy the newsletters! Take care, Annie."

Greetings to our growing community of chileheads and gardeners.

One of the greatest challenges we face with our Newsletter Chile News & Views is timing. Yea, Good old fashioned timing. Being such a large country we have subscribers everywhere in the process from currently having mature hot peppers on their plants to the other extreme of not being ready to transplant the seedlings yet. And that's just in the good ol' USA. We have many subscribers overseas.

You have to pick and choose your targets so I'll focus our directional input to what we're doing here in the Mid-Atlantic states. For those of you in colder extremes the information will be early: great! In warmer climates it will be a bit late. Not ideal; but you can certainly print off the tips that you like, file the newsletter or check out our archives next year at http://www.listbot.com.

Of course there is plenty of information in our newsletter that will be relevant at any time.

Transplant tips
===============
The best time to transplant any type of plant is towards dusk. Better yet is on a rainy or cloudy day towards dusk. The worst time is during hot, sunny weather early in the day where the tender seedlings might bake in the sun. Even well-hardened transplants can have transplant shock.
