»I hope my Carribean Red peppers have enough time to ripen before frost kills them :< I've been nursing them along almost all summer and just started putting out fruit a month or so ago... There's like 6-8 peppers that are full sized, they just need to ripen.
Does putting tarps or garbage bags over them work. I heard that when you get a freeze out of the blue you can put plastic bags over your veggies and what not. The carbon dioxide is still there so I would assume that doing during the night wouldn't be that bad. I never tried it though.
I have no idea.. I know I can't afford to spend anymore on the garden this year though.. I can't go and buy like row covers or anything. Once it starts freezing regularly whatever can't tolerate that is dead.
Pretty much what happens to my garden in the fall and winter. Cest la vie! To Home Depot in the spring I go!
I had a mega ton of squash this year. The first time I have ever planted it. It was nuts! In May and June I had to finagle squash into almost every meal! I didn't do peppers this year. Kind of wish I did.
Do you seed them in the winter or do you pick up the plants at Lowe's, Home Depot, whatever?
