Took this yankee years to realize peppers are perennials! Couldn't let old man winter kill this ornamental Black Pearl (grown from seed by yours truly). Kept a few Pablano plants for the hubby.
Wow! I didn’t know peppers could be overwintered. You just gave me another “pampering” project for next year. It makes sense as I know people that grow those ornamental type peppers year round.
Thanks for your kind offer of tomato seeds. I’m enlisting one of my friend’s husband who has a great growing set-up to start the tomatoes this year. He’s stocked up with Brandywine seed and some other heirlooms. I’ll probably pick up a couple of hybrids as seedlings. Like you, our warm season crops can’t go in until June 1st.
Thanks for the nice compliment on the flowers. They do have to kind of duke it out themselves because I’m also growing a lot more veggies than I used to. I tried sweet corn last year (Kandy Korn) and what a big disappointment that was. Then I slapped myself in the forehead and went ‘D’oh.’ Our backyard abuts a cornfield and I think my sweet corn cross-pollinated with the field corn. Live and learn. *Sigh*
