Byron
I grow all my peppers in pots which I start for seed in March under grow
lights so if I can get a plant to winter for me it extends it growing
season.
I just bring them in to the house and put then with my house plants. The
house temp during the winter is around 65 with day light down to 9 hours or
so I go to work in the dark come home in the dark.
