We had a freeze a few weeks ago and I didn't have time to get out and cover or save anything. Most of the peppers dropped all or most of their leaves, but the Beaver Dam pepper didn't even slow down!
I finally got a chance to get out there and grab some of the plants to overwinter in the greenhouse. While I found several with a few leaves left, most of them were little more than sticks with no leaves.
I wasn't going to save those at all, but then I realized that the stems were still green and had what looked like tiny little leaf buds in some of the joints. I decided to cut off the dead parts and bring them in anyway, in the hope that they would grow.
In contrast, the Beaver Dam was full of green leaves and was still flowering! Think I may have to grow more of those next year!
