It's dead, Jim
I don't think it's coming back from this
The final crop
Next year, i'm grabbing two plants as soon as Kroger puts them on sale, and they're going out in the big box immediately.

Yeah, peppers won't tolerate a serious frost.
The only edible pepper I know of which really seems to do well as a perennial is the Manzano. Even it is frost-sensitive, but I've seen one resprout from the roots after a freeze.

My one consolation is that the kudzu must be dead for a while, too.
Is the Manzano particularly hot?

Re: It's dead, Jim
Kudzu is never dead. It’s only slightly delayed, but it is as inevitable as death itself. It is a plant of death, and thus cannot be killed like some ordinary mortal plant.

Re: It's dead, Jim
As a confirmed chili-head I rate it as moderate. The ones I've had are roughly comparable to a jalapeno... nowhere near a Habanero or Scotch Bonnet, let alone a Scorpion. They respond very nicely to being picked in vinegar.AnotherFairportfan wrote:My one consolation is that the kudzu must be dead for a while, too.

One Manzano bush in a good location can supply plenty for a family.

The rescued peppers look okay, at least.
Friend was loading me up with surplus cherry peppers, and I just ate the last of them on Friday. Winter is here.

Re: It's dead, Jim
I seriously would save some seeds of a couple of the ripe ones to try to start in-house in about March. Even if they don't take, it's an experiment to learn how to start them without starter plants. Plus, if you like the heat/flavour in those and they do take, you can continue on with this crop. I've grown many hot peppers inside for my Mother from "ornamental" indoor plants. Just ah...don't make Kimchi from Thai Fires and Thai Royal Dragons...especially if the seeds came from her.AnotherFairportfan wrote:I don't think it's coming back from this

Yanno how some people have Angels/Devils for a conscience? I have a Dark Elf ShadowKnight and a Half Elf Ranger for mine. The really bad part is when they agree on something.

Nuclear kimchee! A bit like the scene from "Silent Movie", looking through the window of a Szechuan restaurant, at all the customers sitting at tables, gasping, with smoke streaming out of their mouths.

Heh... Sydney definitely does live up to her name.
I imagine she'd have enjoyed the Savina burger at the Prince Of Wales pub in San Mateo, as it used to be in the days of yore. Definitely the hottest thing I've ever eaten. Once we had finished, the lunch group agreed that an urgent trip to the Dairy Queen down the street was called for, as a matter of sanity and survival.
