daylilydude 13 hours ago I have tried bringing in pepper plants, but didn't have great luck. While some do this, and despite having all of the leaves drop off, as I did, they say they come back, and they get early peppers on them, I find it better to just start them very early, and get early peppers that way; a friend of mine once overwintered one, and I started one of the same variety on Jan. 1, and the one from seed was flowering before I put it out, and ended up producing many more peppers. So both of us sort of forgot about trying to save them. Peppers need a LOT of light, so maybe with a greenhouse it would work better. One thing I am going to do is take some cuttings from a few of them, and put them in my cloner. I'll keep you updated on this.

If the plants are saved and potted, cut them back to where there are just a few branch nodes on the stems. There will be enough energy stored in the roots to make new branches. Only allow the strongest to grow and it will eventually become the main stalk. Until it develops a new stalk, won't need a lot of light since there are no leaves which require it.

Nice harvest! I know you are sad to see the chile season end, but it looks like you had a great year.
