PUEBLO — While this extreme heat can be tough to handle, Pueblo's peppers thrive in it. News5 stopped by one of the long-standing pepper farms in the Pueblo Mesa Friday.
One of the farmers says the mixture of the hot days and cool nights are perfect for Pueblo's prized crop.
The chiles were planted back in April.
