My brown thumb has actually gone to tan...My little pepper plant grew into a small bush and produced enough peppers to feed a small army...Will it totally die over the winter or will it come back in the spring?
Can I dig it up and pot it for the winter? it's pretty big now, like a shrub!
Any pepper experts around?
In more southern climates they come back every year, getting bigger and offering more peppers. Since we normally get several frosts here, I have assumed they would not come back, so haven't tried. This year I will keep one Poblano plant and see if it survives - am keepin' my fingers crossed.
For some reason my Habanero peppers thrive when i grow them in plastic buckets,20 to 30 peppers per bucketed plant, planting them in the ground with the exact same soil as in the buckets produces a pathetic looking little bush that might produce 1 or 2 runt peppers by the end of the season, i dont mind growing them in the plastic buckets but have always wondered why they dont thrive when put straight into the ground.
