Would you say it is time for us northern regioners to dig the pepper plants up and have them grow into their new container winter homes? In my area frost is about a month away.
I grew out several peppers in one gal containers for overwintering purposes and they didn't really grow much - some are barely a foot tall with only one or two peppers. Is there any point in overwintering these when their inground siblings are three feet tall and prolific? did I permanently stunt these under-fertilized under-producing plants?
These plants surely have ants and other bugs in the container soil. Anything less harsh than Imicloprid or soaking the pot to purge the creepies before bringing them in?
