Some are.
 
I have them covered tonight, frost. Probably tomorrow night also. Then it warms up for next week. I might be picking pods Thanksgiving. Not bad for 40° North Latitude.
 
I will post pics tomorrow.

Looks like the end... low 30°s next two nights, mid 20°s the following three. Snow predicted Saturday night.
 
'All good things gotta come to an end, and it's the same with the Wildwood Weed', I mean peppers.

 

[Ozzy2001]

Same here. 20's this weekend and possible snow. Slight frost this morning. Guess I'll cut the plants off and hang them to get the last few pods I want.

King Naga long pod.
 
I cut this branch off to hang up inside.
 
This single branch, at the end of the season, produced nearly as many pods (and better quality pods) as the rest of the plant the entire season:

Are King Naga just larger morichs?

Are King Naga just larger morichs?

 
I have no idea, after all, I am a mere hobbist.
