overwintering Overwintered Rocotto

At least I'm getting a good start on one of my over-wintered rocottos throwing out pods right now. My other plant should start throwing pods within the next couple of weeks. I'll throw up some pics once both plants get pods on them. I should have a good harvest with these 2 plants this year and make some nice yellow sauce from one and a red from the other. All my seedlings this year were killed from trying to speed up the hardening off process so I learned a valuable lesson. Next year I will start me seedlings earlier and harden them off slower.

I'd guess you can grow as I do.
I have my Pubes in 35gal. pots.
They don't mind Ca. winters.
Actually like it.
Leave them be,don't trim or whatever.
My plants love putting out pods in Early Spring and the Fall.
LOTS of pods!
2 plants put out about 65 pods a week each in the fall and winter.
Plants were about 6 ft. x 6 ft.
