Hi all,
I just wanted to tell you a little experience I had with a Buth Jolokia I have forsaken once.
One year I grown some Jolokia and one of them was very strong : he sprouted earlier and became bigger than all his brothers and sisters. He was like the perfect plant. After harvesting him and when the winter came, I though he would die whatever I do (mistake I realise now).
So I just put it outside on the windowsill. The window face the typical "backyard" of a Parisian flat : 4m², surrounded by 8 floors buildings, we put the bin there and there is no light at all (maybe at noon for half an hour, and I'm not even sure). Even when a pigeon lost it's way there it dies ...
I left the poor boy there and completely forgot it. The winter came with snow from time to time, and some days at 23F° - 14F°. Then when spring came, I opened that window (in my bathroom) and realise that he was still there. And he was still alive !
He spent the all winter outside, with no light, no rain and some freezing days and he was still alive. So I put it back home and took care of it and he gave me some fruits again. But after that he died.
Did your peppers ever faced some hardcore situation and survived ? Is there anyone growing pepper in Antarctica ?
