I grew these two plants in the same container the year before last and only got a few peppers off each of them. Then I brought them in after the first light frost and threw them under a single cfl light for the winter, almost every leaf died and fell off. Towards the end of winter they started to get a little new growth, when it warmed up enough last year I separated them into separate containers, cut off the dead stems and threw them outside. They put on a lot of peppers at first but seemed slow after that.

The one on the left is some sort of red bell and the other one is a camelot pepper if I remember right.

mate if you can overwinter them one more time and then plant in ground or raised bed im sure they will quadruple in size and give you at least 2 or 3 harvests the next summer :)

yeah plz do post that recipe...I'm new at growing peppers and cooking them as well...I have poblanos, bells and jalapenos growing this year, my first time. I seeded the jalapenos and stuffed them with cream cheese and wrapped em in bacon then fried em up in a pan...was pretty darn good. Yeah I'm trying all kinds of new recipes recently.
I could never stomach peppers till I lived here in AZ now I eat em all the time

We used to fry our poppers, but I got the wife to start baking them. Once we got the time and temp worked out, we like them better. Sure a lot easier on cleanup.

We have one recipe that calls for a little BBQ sauce on the bacon. Very damn good.

Overwinter them if u may cos next season they will double your fruit output if you go bigger pots again or in the ground :)

Possibly if you dont get frost weeks in a row you could overwinter greenhouse style ?
