- This past year I grew Serranos, Habaneros, Jalapenos and Tabascos. When
- the frosts started getting too severe here in Wisconsin I moved several
- of the peppers into a closed in back porch. During the move I noticed
- that the Serranos and Tabascos in the garden had survived the cold
- temperatures much better than the Habaneros and Jalapenos. Just recently
- I moved some of the peppers from the (unheated) porch into the house.
- Again, the Serranos and Tabascos were untouched by the cold while the
- Habaneros were definitely wilted (had more than enough Jalapenos so none
- got moved from the garden). If you need a cold resistant pepper try
- Serranos and Tabascos. Me, I'm growing more Habaneros - just have to
- start them a little earlier in the house next year. They're worth the
- extra trouble.
