My garden is winding down except for the tomatoes and peppers and some peanuts. Have some potatoes to dig that I keep putting off. May just dig them as needed.LOL
About those peppers. If you keep picking the peppers off as soon as you can, they will keep producing.
When the drought hit last summer, I dug up two pepper plants from Hubby’s garden, and put them in a pot. They produced all the rest of the summer on the patio.
When the weather got cold, I brought them indoors, and they continued producing all winter. In late spring this year, I transplanted them outside, where they have produced all summer so far.
Soooooo much easier than tomatoes. It was so great to have them this winter, I could just go in and pick them when needed. If the store had a special on green peppers, I would buy them and let mine grow a little longer till they were the nice red sweet peppers that cost so much at the grocery store.
WOW! Great information on peppers! Thanks!
I have a pot of sweet potatoes, and have no clear idea when I should dig them up. (I’m HOPING it’s a “them!”) I was under the impression I could dig them up in late October before the first freezes. The vine is HAPPY and winding all over the place, even after burying it in several laps in the pot over intervals. There’s no more room to bury the vine, so it’s just going every where! It’s just quite beautiful.
