indian jwahl surprise seedling

[rxkeith]

a couple years ago, i grew indian jwahl from old seeds.
i wintered over a plant in doors, and had it for a second year.
i tried wintering over the plant again, and it died fairly early in the winter.
i did not move the pot out of the living room right away. i left it there for mebbe
a couple months. i know, i know, why did i leave a dead plant in the room that long for?
so, i finally decided to move the bucket with the dead plant, and i saw something green.
it was a small pepper plant! i have no idea how it managed to grow. the bucket had not been
watered for at least a couple months. it was sitting in the living room with a wood stove going
most of the time, so nice and warm, and dry. i accidentally broke off most of the root base except
for a stump, so placed it in water to revive before replanting it. it seems to be doing ok.
this is one tough pepper. i guess i have to keep it.

Were you able to save seeds from that first plant?

oh yeah, i sent some into the swap for 2021/22.
very popular in indian cooking. i tried a tiny, tiny piece when i was deseeding them,
and got concerned when the heat kept building. they are mild when compared to the
super hots, but hot in and of them selves. i brought some to church for a korean woman.
her husband said she dipped them in sauce, and ate them. she likes HOT.

and i will add, i still have some seeds, should you need some sent to jaw ja
i have you address.

I wonder if it was able to draw water from the dead plant and its roots.
