This review is from: Peppers: (Crop Production Science in Horticulture) (Paperback)
I developed an obsession with growing peppers over the last year and I have found this book to be very informative on this subject. This book is written for scientists but I believe anyone should be able to follow it pretty closely.

This review is from: Peppers: (Crop Production Science in Horticulture) (Paperback)
Dr. Bosland is the expert and this book is very helpful. Not just a bunch of research but practical information on peppers...in depth. Good illustrations and photos. It will help make any pepper grower better. (Explains the difference between chili and chile!)
