I have one lonely stem left on a plant that survived this winter indoors. I'm wa glad I could move it outside again!
Try misting your plants with tobasco or some other sauce.

Wow! I wouldn't have thought of spraying hot sauce on a pepper plant, but that is a GREAT idea! I sprinkle cayenne in the to keep the dog from getting into it.

I'll try that on the plant when I bring it back in next fall! Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, they are tiny round red and green peppers and pack a lot of flavor in that little package. We have a friend who lives in San Antonio & he brought me seeds from plants at his deer lease. He said they grow in small shrubs down there. I've sometimes found them sold as ornamental potted plants here.
