Ohhh yeah we will. I am pretty sure it’s going to be a rough one. Getting ready to set up the water heater for the chicken coop, and I think we’ll take the Trinidad Scorpion pepper down to the cellar. We have some grow lights, and the temps will be better there.

I don’t know how much longer that pepper will need, I think my husband expected it to be maturing by now but it looks the same as it did three weeks ago when we brought it in from the garden to the garage.

Maybe the steady temps and the grow light in the basement will encourage it. It still looks really nice and is loaded with peppers.

Good planning! We brought in a tomato plant and a jalapeno pepper plant. Both are in the kitchen. The tomato plant has set two flowers since we brought it in, but it was sitting on one of our dog crates, and not getting enough light, so I moved it to the table and watered it. Thank goodness I went back to check on it, because the saucer was leaking. Water was pouring onto the table and from there to the rug. I moved it onto the tile floor and dumped the saucer for a new one. Soon we will be bringing in one of our large, wheeled planters and seeding some lettuce.

There is nothing like fresh produce in winter.
