Can peppers ripen from pulled plants?

Hilde · October 8, 2008

Hi all!

We had our first frost yesterday, and the evening before I pulled all the pepper plants (hot and sweet) and hung them up in the basement. I read somewhere that the peppers will ripen from pulled plants that you hang up in your basement or garage. Has anyone tried this? Did it really work? If it does, it is a great way of extending the season.

I also pulled a rare, dwarf tomato plant so I can get all the seeds that I can possibly get from it.
