Jalapeno Plants From Last Year

[ninnymary]

Instead of pulling my plants the way I always do, I decided to leave them alone. I'm still harvesting peppers from these 3 plants.

What do I need to do to keep them going. Do I need to remove all peppers? Do I need to prune back? Anything else I haven't thought of?

Light pruning and fertilizer would be a good guess.

Wow Mary, I'm jealous! Somebody on the forum grows a lot of peppers and keeps them going year to year...is it @PhilaGardener ? They could give you some good advice.

Now that I think about it the pepper person may not have been on for awhile.

edited to add - it's @Dave2000 that grows lots of peppers.

Was it HotPepperQueen? I don't know if she grew them year round though. I can't remember where she lives.

Dave2000 is the year round pepper grower. I think he grows most of them in containers.

Has anyone grown Piri Piri peppers? I just germinated a few in moist paper towel, only took 4 days. Now to pot them up, most will go to our garden club plant sale in May. This is a hottie and used in a marinade for chicken. Thought I would give it a try in a container or two, move it into the greenhouse for the winter and try keeping it going.
