"Late Jalapenos ~
The temperature is certainly a major Part of the equation,
But decreasing hours of sunlight And intensity also affect Pepper's Production.
It would be much simpler to dig Up Pepper, move her Inside, and put her under artificial spot lights.
Interestingly, at least to me, Is how different varieties tolerate The cool/cold weather. The Lemon Drops (_C baccatuum_), Chocolate labs, Limon, Pimento De Cheiro ( _C chinense_), And Fish (_C annuum_)
Hold their leaves And maintain marginal pepper production Up until the final freeze.
The Corno Di Toro, Almapaprika, (C annuum_), Trinidad Seasoning, (_C chinense_),
And most of the others start Dropping their leaves as soon as the weather Turns cool, And only ripens the peppers
Already produced." ~ Penelope
