RMO,
Yes you can grow
peppers indoors and as stated above you need lots of light. I started 13 varieties of
peppers a couple weeks ago and they are starting to sprout now as I didnt have them in enough heat/light initially. I am hoping to get lots of
peppers this winter but if not then outdoors they will go come
spring and have a headstart on the
growing season.
peppers can be annual
plants and grown year round which is something I am just learning about. If you have
peppers outdoors you can put them in pots and overwinter them inside and while some will have a period of time where they are resting, and appear to be dying, be patient and they will come back. I have a Jalapeno and Serrano
growing in the basement right now and the Serrano has not stopped producing and the Jalepeno does have new
flowers about to bloom. They do have to be hand pollunated to bear fruit.
I am hoping to have much success with my
peppers this winter and hope you do as well.
Triss
