I Overwintered Pepper Plants For 5 YEARS…And THIS Happened!

Did you know pepper plants are NOT annuals? Peppers are perennials, and we can easily grow the same pepper plant year after year. All we have to do is overwinter a pepper plant to protect it from cold, and it will keep producing. In this video, I show you how to overwinter pepper plants for nonstop harvests. Plus, I ran the ultimate test: I overwintered pepper plants for 5 years…and this happened!
