Overwintering!

Due to having such issues last year with mites and yield, I wasn't actually going to overwinter any plants. In fact, I hacked them off at the stumps and threw them out.

But - I took pity on one scotch bonnet plant in the end. Its leaves weren't all mottled and sick looking like the other plants, so I kept it around.

I did however hack it right back to a stump. Literally. Look:

 The leaves you see weren't there when I hacked it. They've grown. And look, green shoots out of the main trunk!

Actually against all odds, I think we might just have a good start for this plant this year. I'm looking forward to the prospect of some good scotch bonnets!


Overwintering, apparently, isn't so hard after all.
