>>801146I just grow them as annuals, though I might overwinter a few this year as I haven't had the time to tend my garden that I normally have, and I'm contending with a bumper crop of weed seeds from last year. We'll see what it looks like in mid August. I like to get at least 60lbs-80lbs of green chile, plus enough red to make several ristras.
I do have a couple of Bolivian rainbow pepper plants that are going in pots this year, mainly for decoration and if I want to add some heat to something. (Pic is not mine, just an example.) Those I will put indoors before first frost. They supposedly don't have a lot of flavor, but they do rank at 70k scolville units.
