Remember this giant?

Do you remember when I posted about the best plant in the garden? Well, it's getting down to the 40s now at night, and I couldn't bare to let this habanero plant die. It is a 2 year old plant and produced so many peppers for us. I had to try to save it. I dug up this little guy, and low and behold, he split into two pepper plants! Wow, he's gigantic. One of the plants were placed into a large bin. It was so heavy that I had to wheel him in my little green wagon.  I pruned down some of the branches because digging him up out of the ground was going to cause too much stress on this guy.

Here is the other half of this plant, it got so big, that it literally grew another tall stalk.  I mean just giant!!  This one went into a 5 gallon bucket.  I also had to trim some of the branches off.

Don't laugh... But this is how my front enclosed porch looks now.  LOL.  hahahaha okay you can laugh.  My husband thinks I'm crazy.  He's like, you can't save every plant in the vegetable garden.  My answer is, "why not".  We have the room, why not try and overwinter some of the pepper plants?  His response was, "some...not all".  :)

Here is a look from the other side of the porch.  At the far end is the potting bench the hubs built for me this summer.  Every shelf is now filled with bell pepper plants.  LOL.  I saved every plant that still had little peppers on them.  On the front left is the part 1 of the giant habanero.  See how many peppers are still on it?  How can I let this die in the frost?  It's still pumping out this hot babies like crazy!  My hope is that both of these plants survive through the winter on my porch and that I can replant them outside in the garden come spring.  Crossing my fingers!
