I tried a couple bell pepper plants down here in SW/SC part of the state. My tomatoes were abundant but most folks around here had scrawny carrots, my peas never took off and all my potted porch plants were stunted from the heat. Some started to grow after early September even though I planted them in May.

So try again. If your climate permits they can be left outdoors or brought indoors if you have the space, to be grown again the following summer.

When you are not looking would you mind if we come by and raid the hot pepper patch ?



Just kidding,... Those glass jars full of hot peppers will come in handy for cold winter weather. Hot Chili and soups,.. yum.

I also winter over pepper plants, but bell peppers. They are so slow growing in NJ that if you don't, there's no peppers until late July or August.

For those who want to try it:
