Third season for over wintered Jalapeno

[GardenStateGardner]

This plant produced well over 200 jalapenos last year

I've overwintered chili plants twice, (in the UK) and found that they weren't very healthy, the yields halved and they fruited no earlier than plants grown seeds taken from a ripe early chili & sown in Nov/Dec.
So that's what I do, nowadays.

Here it is last July. I have read jalapenos dont over winter well. I must be lucky!

Or you may be very good at nursing the plants through the winter,, or you may have a better climate for overwintering, or any combination of those.

I basically chopped it down to a foot high. I placed it in my sliding glass door as it is facing east. I watered every two weeks as well. I am going to test this with some of the hot pepper plants i got this year.

I have a bell pepper from last year that looks like that. It's slowly coming back and has lots of blooms and fruit, just not a ton of leaves yet. Hoping it does ok.
