Before last winter I had a serrano last 3 years--and I did nothing to try
and save it.  It didn't look pretty, but it still gave me lots of peppers.
None of the more exotic stuff ever lasted a winter for me.  I guessing the
serranos are more hardy.  Of course last year's rain wiped out the garden.
I now have 5 serranos in the yard--hopefully they'll last the winter (but I
still have no plans to take any extraordinary measures to save them...).
