Neither. I dont intentionally overwinter anything that isnt in a pot. I only discard/bury pods from the correct pheno into the growing beds. I end up with a few crosses and other random plants but a good proportion come out true and I only discard those/bury those ones . If a particularly...

I picked a few rocotos to give to some of the guys at work.     I also removed/ threw away this many that had been eaten by something   I have a pretty big bush of Aji Verde.   here are some of the bhutlah pheno that iv been growing for years       random photos from garden     here is...
