Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
To be honest this is the first time I’ve left one in all winter, it didn’t seem to be suffering so I decided to see how long it would survive. It had a few peppers growing slowly on it still, but I removed them a few weeks ago so it can just concentrate on surviving the winter. I usually would start new chilli and pepper seeds each season. I’ve heard of people giving them a hard prune back and digging them up and storing indoors over winter, but that’s usually in places with really cold winters where the ground freezes.
Just give it a go and see what happens! Worst case is you have to buy a new seedling from the garden centre 🤷♂️
Sounds good :)
I do recall someone mentioning a hard prune back to me sometime ago. Hopefully the Auckland temps mean they won’t have any problems :)
