Peppers of 2016
    #23669226 - 09/22/16 07:46 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

Let me start by saying that I consider myself a "Chilihead." My passion for gardening and botany started with peppers. I usually have 10+ plus varieties of peppers in my garden and yard(ornamental and edible)every year. This year it has been hard for me to maintain all outside plants due to work. Just thought it would be fun to see what varieties my fellow chiliheads are growing this year.

-Orange Habanero (My fav hot pepper)
-Prik Chi Faa
-Cubanelle
-Jalapeno
-Dragon Cayenne
-Parks Banana Whopper Sweet Banana

Here are pics from one year and four months ago:



I overwintered them are here they are today:


They were supposed to be fatalii, pimente d'espelette, paper lantern, and chocolate habs. They were obviously mislabeled (thanks Amazon), but I seem to have gotten some good orange habs out of it at least. :smile: They're all delicious, prolific, and very spicy, so I can't really complain too much, whatever they are. It's awesome growing your own chillies and always having some fresh and ready to go! It's getting to be time to trim them back and bring them in for the winter again, I'm hoping they'll still all be around next summer!

What is your technique for overwintering if you don't mind me asking??

Heh... well I may not be the best person to ask, since I don't really follow the established advice. Most people say to cut your plants way way back and basically keep them in extended dormancy until the next growing season. But I like to have fresh peppers during the winter, so I keep them going. I wait until the forecast says it will drop below 40°F overnight, then I give them a "hair cut" where I trim off any weird, dangling, extra-long or misshapen branches above the leaf node but nothing major. Maybe like, 15 - 20% of the plant at most. I put them in front of a southern-facing window with a couple 60 watt CFLs on an 18 hour timer, water when they wilt, and that's pretty much it. They grow, flower, and produce peppers all winter. They may drop a few leaves and they don't exactly "thrive", but they do just fine. In spring when they're ready to go outside again, I give them another minor trim just to take off any dead branches or weird growth, and they're ready to go again. I've never had much trouble with the "overwintering" process per se, but I've definitely had problems with pests due to the absence of natural predators indoors. I've lost a few plants to aphid and scale infestations, but last year I hosed down the plants really well before bringing them inside and I kept them relatively separate from my other plants, and they did okay. This is in upstate New York, zone 5b by the way.
