Iris, that is very interesting. I am sure growing peppers in Florida is very different than growing them in Maine or other cold areas in the North since our warm gardening season is so short. Thanks for sharing. I’ll be sure to include this information in a new article I am writing on growing peppers.

In southern parts of the state, August to September is the best month for planting.

Eileen, Yes, you can grow peppers inside. Most pepper plants are actually bi-annual or perennials. If you can keep them alive all winter, they will continue to produce next year. Here are tips on caring for peppers indoors from my friend, Amy: https://getbusygardening.com/overwintering-peppers/

I transferred to outside in a container in Late June. . I am in the Chicago Area. I now have lot of green peppers growing but had to move the plant inside due to a frost last night.
We are expecting warmer temps this week: 60’s and up to 70F. I know they will be fine during the day. My question is, can I continue to grow these inside in order to harvest them going forward? They are quite small now.
Thank you. Eileen

Tom, Peppers are day-neutral plants, so I don’t think it is related to day length. What kind of peppers have you tried growing? How much sunlight do the plants receive each day? When were they transplanted into the garden?
