Growing black pepper... anyone?

[rubybeetle]

I've been wanting to grow different varieties of peppercorns to make a peppercorn medley, but I'd be lucky to grow black pepper. Maybe this will help: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/l...152311306.html

What sort of climate do you live in? Black pepper is native to warmer regions, and isn't really cultivated in the US that I know of.

I have never tried to grow black pepper. Would like to try, but I really don't think that it would do too good around where we live.
