overwintering overwintering shock/surprise

[Davetaylor]

i've got 2 7pots and 1 devils tongue overwintering this year

the 7pots(1 season old)

the devils tongie (2 seasons old)

now the surprise came when having a little look at them and rotating them today

tiny 7pot buds, they were only cut back around a month ago!! now i don't expect them to flower and fruit (but it would be nice for some winter heat!!!)

awsome lloks like that should melt all the snow away.

Well if they are inside nice and warm and getting a bit of sun why wouldn't continue to grow all year? My plan is to grow 3-4 over the winter under HID lights. If they are getting just enough sun I think they should give up a few peppers.

Personally I try not to give my overwintered plants much sunlight or fertilizer until about late January or they will grow too much too early, and the growth is usually leggy meaning I have to cut back a second or third time and usually I also get major aphid problems.

i'll prob cut them back at least once, never had bug trouble (yet!)
