Oct 18 and it ain't over yet!
I had to bring inside the 4 potted plants I have last weekend due to a hard frost that was headed our way. I really thought winter was here.
But after looking at the mild forecast for the next week I thought I'd set them back out again and take a few pic's.... they're still going crazy

Thanks again Phil

How long ago did you move them in?
Why the trimming?

[DanMcG]

brought them in mid October Martin, as far as trimming they are getting tall and lanky and was thinking they'd state sprouting from the lower part of the trunk. I trimmed the smallest one back about a month ago and it's still alive. Why do ya ask?

 

[diggingdogfarm]

Nothing wrong with trimming them back, but I didn't bother trimming back smaller plants.
Did you have any problem with aphids when you brought them inside?

I love these peppers and grow them every year now.  They are pretty hot but nothing you can't get used to.  And they have a great flavor.  I like to chop them up and put on eggs. 

 

[DanMcG]

yeah Diesel great flavor but a little hot for me. but I'm getting use to them.

Martin no aphids inside or while outside either.

Dan, Good luck.... I hope it lives.... all of mine died last year.....   I brought in my rosemary plant 3 weeks ago.... Put it in a 5 gallon pot.... Hope it makes it, if not, that will be the 3 rd rosemary I killed....

My rosemary (bush type) lives happily year round.  No water other than our winters and what my stupid, over-watering neighbor puts on his lawn.

Italian pepppers still look OK.  I doubt they will make it thru January, tho.  First year I have left them in to see if they will winter over. We do get some frost, but no really frozen ground like most folks.

Good luck and good smoking.

 

[diggingdogfarm]

I brought in my rosemary plant 3 weeks ago....

Mine are still outside and still alive!
Must be a hardy strain!!!!


~Martin

 

[daveomak]

I left one outside last winter and it stayed alive until january....  couldn't take 2 weeks of below zero....

 

[diggingdogfarm]

If it gets down below 15 for any length of time, I'll bring them in on the porch, sure hope I can overwinter them.

Fluorescent lights can really help with your stretch problems wintering plants over. Fluorescent light contains 3 of the 4 spectrum's of light and can be very helpful wintering plants over. Put a simple 4 foot shop light over your plants on a timer to make them think the day has 14 hours of light. This is a approach we use to get fuchsia baskets...Martha Washington geraniums...gallery dahlias etc. blooming in our greenhouses in the short days of spring so we have a product we can sell on mothers day. Another point to wintering plants over that i can't stress enough is don't over water any plant you are trying to winter over...let the plants drink their complete water load before lightly watering them again. A plant can come back from a drought but will never come back from being drowned. The fastest way to kill a plant your wintering over is too much love...aka water.

Here is my transplanted Rosemary... sitting in Brides jungle of houseplants.... It was about 6" tall this spring...  I've dried some sprigs but fresh is just so much better.....  Hope this baby lives....  That would be a first for me.... Overwintering something....  I do believe they hear me when I call them weeds....
