Moved inside the house
« Reply #-1 on: October 03, 2014, 04:58:49 PM »
With the upcoming forecast of snow this weekend I decided to move my pepper plants inside. Had them out in the green house all summer but even with a light on in the green house I didn't want to take a chance of the plants dying. About a month ago I had 5 or 6 full size peppers but that was it. Now as winter is creeping up fast the plants have hundreds of baby peppers so into the house they came. Not with out my 10 year old complaining all the way that his finger tips where hurting big time carrying the heavy end so he said. Told him to suck it up as his fingers don't hurt when he is playing X-Box  ;D ;D ;D ;D





This sucks

I'm not ready for winter!!!  Seeing what you had to do reminds me that I will have to move a bunch of plants inside in the not-to-distant future.  Your plant looks pretty healthy.  Will it make it through the winter by being inside?

Art I'm not sure if it will make it through the winter. Never had pepper plants inside before. I am more of the aloe vera plant type of guy where you don't water it for 3 months and than remember yes you should water it.  :)
Hopefully it will do well inside and produce peppers for a while. I was wondering if someone knows if I can cut it back a bit if it gets to much bigger? Will this hurt it?

Actually pruning may help the plant. I haven't grown peppers but have just ordered some seeds from Pepper Joe. His website has tips on growing, pruning etc.

The plants slowed down for a while after bring inside but they seem to be taking off again. Notice more flowers blooming so they must be happy  :)
