I have one pot of each of green, red and yellow bells with flowers and or fruit. Also pablamo, green and red chilis with flowers and/or fruit. I hope to grow them through the winter in the new green house I'm still working on. With all my failures this year, I feel like these peppers are rewarding me so I will keep my spirits up. Very Happy

So far we've been warmer and drier than normal this winter. We still don't see any freezes projected at this point (though that can change on a dime!) It's especially nice since last year we had a very early hard freeze and our season came to a VERY sudden stop :-)

Excellent links. Thanks you all muchly.

The garage freezes way too much as does the greenhouse.

The plan is to get the fruit off, once more through the shower and spray regimen and then into the basement where the temperature is stable but coolish with some natural light. They can go dormant, the aphids will be too far from other plants, and I will prune when they are dormant. Going dormant should slow the aphids as well, they love new growth on plants out of balance. I should not of fertilized the plants when I brought them inside. I upset their balance that way asking them to grow in what is a too dim and cool situation for peppers.

Thanks again
