sweet peppers inside for winter?
It's starting to be freezing temperatures here, so I've dug up and potted a
bunch of sweet red pepper plants that I started from seed last winter. They had a good growing season, and I can't bear to see my babies die out there! I understand that peppers are a perennial, so if I succeed in keeping them alive until May, it seems I would be way ahead of a normal planting of young plants with these oldsters?? Any experience out there in wintering over sweet pepper plants? I half-tried once, and about all that happened was I was growing aphids inside :-( David |

I started these from seeds this fall (indoors). So no aphids. So far, they're doing very well. They're blooming now. If they continue to do well, next spring I could transplant them outdoors (sort of the reverse of what you want to do). Pat -- To email me, remove the spam trap and type my first name in its place.

sweet peppers inside for winter?
I have a pepper plant in a pot. I've had it for 5 or 6 years, maybe
more. I've decided to toss it on the compost pile and not save it another year. I don't live in a good pepper growing climate. I thought leaving it in the pot and starting the season with a bigger plant might give me more peppers. That didn't work too well. I actually got few if any peppers during the summer but usually got several small ones when I brought it indoors in the fall. Try it, they are fairly easy to winter over indoors as long as you can provide enough light to keep them going.
