Hmmmm...I moved a year ago, both dug up peppers from the garden and overwintered some in pots, then planted some and kept others in 5g pots. The weather is still mild here, but I want to get my winter garden going, and I've been reluctant to pull some late- planted pepper plants that haven't produced much yet. I hadn't thought 1g was big enough (no greenhouse), but it's worth trying. I wrapped my plants in bubble wrap during the coldest weeks.
A couple of the Holy Mole F1 plants I kept in 5g pots produced better this year than last year!
Has anyone experimented with cutting back a little vs. drastically? I cut mine back only enough to make them easier to move.
