Two questions.

First, I have an abundance of Ghost and Carolina Reaper Super Hot peppers.

Can I make a liquid spray to repel animals and/or insects with them?

Secondly, I slipped by with a very light frost 2 nights ago and need to plant some herbs in buckets to bring inside. I know lemon grass and ginger come in. I brought in the patchouli, basil, and curry plants already.

What other herbs are best moved indoors for the winter?

What do you have to work with?

Suggestions? Or is using those super-hot peppers just dangerous to all involved? ;)

I’m bringing in one batch of tarragon, chives, oregano, and rosemary to use indoors until they fade. I leave the tarragon and chives outside. I know the chives will be fine, and I think the tarragon may be fine, too, but we will see. Like an idiot, I forgot about my basil plant, which was beautiful but out of the way, and the frost got to it. I’m a little bummed, but it’s my own fault.
