Hi MrL! Welcome to NGA. And to greenhouse growing - I'm envious.

>> at the end of summer do I drag my peppers inside (I use containers) and let them do whatever or do I plant new seeds end of summer for fall/winter fruits?

Someone in Florida keeps super-hot pepper plants growing, or at least alive, year-round with a greenhouse, and sells the results. But he's in Zone 9a and you're 7b. That a difference of 15F in the average LOWEST temperature of the winter. But you probably care more about daylength (better in VA than FL?) and the average AVERAGE temperature of the winter.

Is that right, @cycadjungle? Would you advise trying to overwinter peppers in a greenhouse in Virginia? Or just extending the harvest that way?

I'm not up on recent SF authors, but might I have heard your pen name? I'm kind of a Heinlein / Niven / Piper fan.
