Last fall, instead of pulling up this lipstick pepper plant, I decided to put it in a pot. I kept it on the south-facing porch until frost, then brought it inside. The peppers that were already on it continued to grow a little once inside. I picked all four of them when they turned reddish - I think it was the end of December or early January.
A few weeks later, the plant formed quite a few blooms. To my surprise, peppers began to form. We ate several of them this week. Amazing! I didn't have a plant light for it - just the light from a south-facing window. I just hoped it would survive and give me a jump on spring production! This certainly exceeded my expectations.
Wonder if Jungle would let me knock out the south facing wall and install windows corner to corner?
