That's absolutely demented. You have completely lost your mind. You have
flipped your lid. :-)

Pepper plants are annuals.

Sorry, but all species of Capsicum are perennial, woody subshrubs. They are
typically grown in this country as annuals because they are semi-tropical in
origin. In fact, the specifc epithet of C. annuum was assigned by
taxonomists in the northern hemisphere assuming the plant was an annual
based on its performance in our more temperate climate - it is actually a
short lived perennial. It is perfectly reasonable to be able to grow these
plants indoors ( a greenhouse would be preferred) for an extended period of
time, provided all necessary growing conditions are met.

I live in Northern California. It's traditionally cold and wet here in
the
winter. I've been thinking about moving the pepper plants I have
(jalapeno,
anaheim and cayenne) indoors. Is this a crazy idea?
