Another overwintering question

13 years ago

So... Most of my plants are just now flowering and setting pods and I plan to move them to an unheated greenhouse when the first threat of frost comes (could be anywhere from mid November to late January). I don't plan on pruning them because they aren't very big yet, I was just curious if anyone has had luck overwintering not fully mature plants?

I've got a few juvenile pants I'm overwintering. Don't expect them to produce but they will live and grow np

Didnt think it would be an issue, I was hoping to hear that there was some form of success. I don't want to loose these guys before they drop fruit and i can see what they actually are. I've put to much love into them to let them go :)

I would move them into the greenhouse now, so that they won't begin to go semi-dormant. Below 50F and the plants slow considerably.

I woke up this morning to a couple sad looking guys so that's what I did. They perked right back up after about 10 minutes in the green house
