Hi all.  Haven't checked in for looonnngg time - preparing the paperwork
for the annual audit where I work. That's right I'm a...ulp..er...
accountant! (sob) Oh well, it makes me a living and I can afford to buy
peppers and pepper plants - what more do you want anyway?

Question for ya all: I have never done this business of growing peppers in
pots so that I could bring them in over the winter and keep the same ones
for next year.  They are in reasonable shape, but not great, except for my
jalapenos which have been completely defoliated by some bug (after they set
fruit, so I still got some yummies). Finally to the question: Should I
bother keeping these, and, if so, do you cut them back to just a few inches
when you bring them in? Do they regrow from a chopped back status? TIA.
