This year we are going to try to overwinter some of our pepper plants.
Just before the first hard frost we harvested all the peppers left on these plants, then pruned them back and removed all the foliage. We dug them up, put them in pots, and they will be coming inside until the spring.
The hope is that they will have a jump start next season and produce more fruits. I've only ever read about doing this and have been too late to dig up any peppers the last few years.
This will be a fun little project/experiment for the off-season and hopefully we will have some peppers early next season!
