So last night, the big freeze hit. My peppers, some carolina reapers and bhut jolokia didn't make it. Dispite my covering them. It was wicked cold, mid 20s F.
Today I went out, all of the leaves are droopy / falling off, the stems are bent and the plant just looks pathetic.
Obviously it was time for a late harvest and storage. So I gathered them up,
A large number of primarily bhut jolokia's are very very squishy. Is this normal after a single freeze, or is something else going on here that I should address / Toss them. (They almost appear translucent.) Or do you guys think they are okay?
Beyond this, if I prune and move the stems into the sunroom will the plants survive until next year?
Thanks in advance?
oh also, I was going to make a vinegar puree with the ripe ones. Now I only have a few reds, mostly green. Will these make an okay puree, or should I just toss them?
