This is my first time playing with overwintering a pepper. It's a Gypsy that was grown in a pot over the summer and produced well. Come November when it was getting too cold it was still loaded with green peppers so I brought her in.



I sat Gypsy in another room next to a window and it took the peppers took forever to ripen. This is January 23:



In February it got really warm outside after a week of freezing temps so outdoors she went again after being pruned hard (leaves and roots) and repotted. This was Feb. 17th:



She had to come in for a few weeks lately as it got cold again but today I moved her back outside and she's flushing slowly but nicely:



This is the five gallon (maybe somewhere between a 5 and a 7) pot she grew in last summer so I might bump her up to a 10 gallon this spring. The Wandering Gypsy!
