Has anyone ever kept a pepper plants for multiple years? I have a couple hardened off and wasn’t sure how they will produce

Ok perfect, I just didn’t pull them but I’m 50/50 if they survived. Gonna move to a pot and hope the do well! Nothing better than fresh peppers 😌

Yes, they can be perennial in some places. I’m in California so it’s easy to “overwinter” them here. It can extend the growing season since it doesn’t have to spend so much time growing as it’s already established.

That’s what I’m thinking, if we long a plant and are able to keep it alive, then it’ll just fruit more next year!

Yes, growing super hots in the North it’s like basically necessary the growing season is so short. Being able to lock down good genetics and have them every year is huge too.

6a, I have some green bell, banana and jalepeno that seem like they survived atm

what hardinesss zone are you in? what kind of peppers?

I have not but I also haven’t tried too either. With no greenhouse and not great indoor space for it - it’s difficult to keep too most plants over the winter.
