Before you toss out your pepper plants at the end of the season, stop! Peppers are perennial plants, which means with the right care you can overwinter them and get a huge head start next spring.
In this video, I’ll show you step by step how to overwinter pepper plants, including how to prune them back, dig them up, pot them for winter, bring them indoors, prevent pests, manage light and watering, and get them ready to go back into the garden next year.
