I grow most of my peppers in the ground every year. I do have a Bhut Jolokia that I purchased as a seedling in 2007. It didn't produce any peppers that year , so I carefully dug around it and dropped it into an Earthbox and put it inside for Winter. Every year when it warms up enough, I put it outside. It had produced hundreds of peppers, even some during the winter months when it is indoors. I also have a two year old Cleo's Dragon in a 5 gallon bucket. If I had more sunny windows , I'd have more. I like the idea of keeping a pepper plant alive for so long. The Bhut Jolokia has a woody stem , most of my friends don't know it's a pepper plant until I tell them.
